Maisie Smith and Max George have ignored backlash to their 'pregnancy' joke as they continue to enjoy their break in Abu Dhabi. The couple, who first met on Strictly Come Dancing before love blossomed two years later, are enjoying precious time together after Maisie finished her first big gig since quitting EastEnders.
Last month, the actress, who is famed for playing Tiffany Butcher in the BBC soap, gave her final bows on stage in Strictly Ballroom: The Musical, as The Wanted star Max proudly supported his girlfriend in the audience. And after her last show in the reimagining of the Baz Luhrmann nineties film, the pair packed their bags and hit the airport as they ditched Manchester for the sun.
However, earlier this week, Maisie, 21, and Max, 34, got their fans' tongues wagging when they teased "exciting news" as they shared a snap from their holiday. It showed them posing together as Maisie beamed while wearing a figure-hugging pink dress and held her tummy with a love heart obscuring her middle in the picture.
