Max George and Maisie Smith go Instagram official with tributes as their romance heats up

Max George has gone Instagram official with Maisie Smith, posting a sweet message as she made her debut on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins? on Sunday night.

The young soap star, 21, is in the beginning stages of a whirlwind relationship with The Wanted singer, 33, after they reportedly bonded over their Strictly appearances.

The romance between the new couple has been hotting up in recent weeks and they were even spotted kissing and cuddling whilst shopping for home essentials – fuelling rumours that they've already moved in together.

However, the pair had yet to publicly confirm the romance on their Instagram accounts until this evening.

Sharing a promotional shot from Celebrity SAS, which began tonight, on his Instagram story Max wrote: "You're my winner already," followed by a love heart.

Maisie also has Max's name in her Instagram bio, followed by a love heart. She also shared Max's original cute post.

The duo met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020 when Maisie was partnered up with Kevin Clifton and Max was partnered up with Dianne Buswell.

They reportedly grew closer during the Strictly live tour at the beginning of this year.

The EastEnders actress wasn't supposed to be taking part in the tour but stepped in last-minute to replace TV presenter AJ Odudu, who had suffered an ankle injury.

However, it wasn't until August that rumours began swirling about the status of their relationship.

Earlier this year, Max split from Stacey Giggs after the pair rekindled their romance in April following Tom Parker's death.

And it looks like Max swiftly moved on with the soap actress and jetted off to Crete, Greece, to enjoy some time in the sun with her.

Passengers on the same flight as Maisie and Max told The Sun that the duo were 'all over each other' on the plane as they were spotted on a flight in August.

A person told the publication: "They looked like a very loved-up couple — they were all over each other for the entire four-hour flight.

"Snogging and giggling like any new couple."

And a source is said of the pair, who also reportedly headed on a holiday to Portugal together recently: "This isn’t a flash in the pan.

"Max has told people that he is falling in love with Maisie."

At just 21-years-old, Maisie is the youngest recruit out of this year's Celebrity SAS line-up, which also includes TOWIE stars Ferne McCann and Pete Wicks, as well as former Strictly pro AJ Pritchard.

Maisie was asked to take part just four weeks before the start so she only really had month to prepare.

"In that month I just went absolutely crazy! I was just hitting the gym every day and trying to beat all my personal bests. I was running on the treadmill with weights on my back for hours," she explained.

"We got to Jordan a few days before and me and Jade were running on the beach and I'd have her on my back and then we'd swap over. It was just really intense fitness that I never used to do at home."
