Max George and Maisie Smith 's relationship is about to be tested in a very strange way.
The Wanted singer, 34, has signed up to appear on a brand new TV show that will see him separated from his girlfriend and living without daylight for days, as he roams around in the dark with fellow celebrities and completes several challenges in the dark in the hope of providing some classic reality TV moments.
After going public with their relationship earlier this month, Max and the former EastEnders actress, 21, are no longer making any attempt to hide their budding romance from fans - with Maisie recently wearing her beau's name across her outfit in a sweet style statement.
Re-sharing a post originally shared by All Time Low singer Max over the weekend, besotted Maisie captioned a snap of herself wearing a grey tracksuit with the singer's named emblazoned across the back of her cosy-looking jumper: "It's wear your boyfriend to work day."
But the loved-up pair will soon be forced to spend some time apart from one another, as Max prepares to join stars such as England football legend Paul Gascoigne and one-time Queen of the Jungle Scarlett Moffatt for Channel 4's latest star-studded reality TV show, Scared Of The Dark.
"Max is always good value and he was really intrigued by the experiment and genuinely interested in how his body and mind would react in those circumstances," a TV insider has confessed when discussing the upcoming show.
"Scarlett is slightly more scared but will take it in good spirits."
Speaking to The Sun, the source added: "Having a fellow Geordie involved in the form of Gazza means she will have someone to bounce off."
Max and Maisie first met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020, back when the actress was partnered up with Kevin Clifton and the singer - who once dated Michelle Keegan - was partnered up with Dianne Buswell. They reportedly grew closer during the Strictly live tour at the beginning of this year.
Rumours surrounding the pair began last month, when the two stars were spotted allegedly "all over each other" on a flight from Manchester to Crete, despite their reported attempts to go incognito - just weeks after the singer split from his on-off ex Stacey Giggs.
Max and Stacey - who was once married to retired footballer Ryan Giggs - rekindled their romance in April following Tom Parker's tragic death, but split for the second time just four months later.
Since going public, The Wanted singer and Maisie have been packing on the PDA and the former soap star added Max's name alongside a love-heart emoji to her Instagram bio earlier this month, after the loved-up pair officially confirmed their romance following weeks of rumours.
