Strictly Come Dancing star Max George paid a touching homage to his girlfriend as he prepared to take to the dancefloor on the hit BBC dance show.
The Wanted singer declared his love for Stacey Giggs, the ex wife of Wales boss and former Manchester United player and assistant manager Ryan Giggs, describing her and her two children as his 'world.'
It was revealed that Max, 32, was dating Stacey last year and he's missing her while he works at winning the coveted Glitterball trophy.
"Stacey and her two kids they're my absolute world," he told viewers in a piece-to-camera.
"I'm missing my girlfriend and my family but I'm having such a good time," he added about his experience.
Max, whose pro partner is Dianne Buswell, is following in the footsteps of his bandmate Jay McGuinness who lifted the Strictly Glitterball in 2015.
In Saturday night's show Max and Dianne transformed into Homer and Marge Simpson for their dance to The Simpsons theme song.
Former Glee star Max and Stacey, who has two children Liberty, 17, and Zach, 13 with Ryan, were introduced by a mutual friend two years ago.
Last year The Swinton-born popstar told the Press Association it made him "really happy" to be in a stable relationship.
He said: "There's a difference between how I feel now in every way - not just in work. I just feel very settled in general. It's a nice feeling.
"I've always wanted kids and knew that one day I would have kids.
"I don't know whether that will be soon - I can't predict the future - or who with. But I'm really happy with where I am and I can't see it with anyone else."
Max moved to America following the band’s 2014 hiatus to pursue a career in Hollywood and was cast as Clint, the lead singer of Vocal Adrenaline, a rival show choir to New Directions based at McKinley High, in the hit singing show Glee.
The former Bolton School student enjoyed chart success worldwide with The Wanted including in America with the band’s massive hit Glad You Came.
Max, who dated former Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan from 2010 to 2012, was reportedly introduced to Stacey after he moved back to Manchester from Las Vegas following his split from model and former Miss Oklahoma Carrie Baker.
