Max George and Maisie Smith's romance 'sparked over Strictly bond', says dating expert

Max George and Maisie Smith stunned the showbiz world with their unexpected romance last month, and the former Strictly Come Dancing stars appear to be going from strength-to-strength ever since.

Earlier this week, The Wanted singer Max, 33, and former EastEnders actress Maisie, 21, were spotted packing on the PDA with each other while out and about in London.

Rumours began swirling about the status of their relationship when they were seen 'snogging' on the plane earlier this month.

Max and Maisie appeared on the 2020 series of Strictly Come Dancing – as Max was paired up with Dianne Buswell and Maisie partnered with Kevin Clifton.

They reportedly grew much closer when they embarked on the Strictly Live tour late last year.

Although their romance was kept under wraps in the early stages, things between the gorgeous pair seem to be moving fast - and it could all be down to their Strictly pasts.

Sex and Relationships expert Jess Leoni reckons that their fast-moving romance is all down to their joint stint on the BBC One competition.

The expert at Illicit Encounters, a marital affairs site, exclusively told The Mirror: "Max and Maisie’s relationship does seem to be moving very fast but when you know, you know. It only takes one conversation to know if you have a spark and things in common.

"Max and Maisie found that from their experiences on Strictly."

Although the pair have remained tight-lipped about their romance, their relationship was revealed by fellow passengers who saw them on a flight to Crete earlier this month.

Passengers reportedly told The Sun that the pair were 'all over each other' on the packed flight.

A passenger 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."

The duo were also pictured holding hands previously as they took the singer's bulldog Albert for a walk in London last week.

Max's new romance with former EastEnders star Maisie comes following his split from Stacey Giggs, after the pair rekindled their romance in April following Tom Parker's tragic death.
