Maisie Smith, 21, grabs a bite to eat with boyfriend Max George, 34, during outing in Cheshire 

Maisie Smith and her boyfriend Max George both opted for a laid-back look when they went for a bite to eat on Tuesday during a getaway in Cheshire.

The former EastEnders actress, 21, cut a casual figure as she donned a gray hoodie and matching track pants.

Also wearing a gray cap, the TV star let her flaming locks fall loosely over her shoulders.

By banding her arms with Max, Maisie went all day without makeup and completed her look with a pair of trainers.

Max, 34, opted for a cream hoodie and matching track pants, along with a pair of Converse sneakers.

The Wanted star completed his look with a black cap.

Max broke up with Ryan Giggs’ ex-wife, Stacey, in August before accusing him of cheating on her with his Strictly co-star Maisie.

It follows reports that Stacey was furious that her former partner Max and Maisie started dating in public just days after they broke up.

Speaking to one of her friends, Stacey shared her heartbreak about the situation and explained how she feels “betrayed” by the singer of The Wanted.

The Sun reported that Stacey told a friend, “To see them dating in public so soon after I dumped him is like a dagger to the heart.”

She continued, “Max cheated on me with Maisie. I asked him about her, but he denied that anything had happened.

“After everything I’ve done for him, I can’t believe he would be so rude and disrespectful. He is a lying dog. I feel betrayed.’

She then went on to claim that Max has changed since they first got together and that he’s now “obsessed with fame.”

The report claims that Max and Stacey’s first breakup in March of this year was due to Stacey becoming suspicious of her boyfriend’s close relationship with Maisie, with whom he had spent the past two months on the Strictly tour.

After a few days apart, the couple reconciled before Stacey reportedly dumped Max on July 25 after the Maisie rumors refused to go away.

Despite the split, Max and Stacey continued to spend time together, with the former boy bander a regular at Stacey’s house while continuing to deny that he cheated on her with Maisie.

On July 28, Max flew to Portugal on vacation to meet Maisie and mutual friends. According to Stacey, he continued to deny being with his Strictly co-star, telling her in phone conversations that he was in Spain.

MailOnline contacted representatives of Stacey, Max and Maisie at the time.

Max and Maisie were first seen kissing on a flight to Crete. In photos obtained by The Sun, the couple can be seen sitting side by side and looking cozy during the romantic journey.

A source told the publication: ‘They were all over each other. This is not a flash in the pan. Max has told people he’s falling in love with Maisie.”

One passenger said: ‘They looked like a very much loved couple – they were all mixed up the entire four-hour flight. Prune and giggle like any new couple.”

The pair are said to have reconnected during the Strictly live tour, after appearing on the show together in 2020.

In June, the pair appeared together on Loose Women, where Max praised Maisie’s dancing skills.

Another source said the new romance will be a ‘bitter pill’ for his ex Stacey, as the Strictly curse has hit her.

They added that Max and Maisie have told friends “it’s love” and that they started dating in June, after he and Stacey broke up.

Stacey and Max first got together in 2018, with Max previously calling Stacey “the one” after meeting at V festival in 2011.

The Wanted singer was in a relationship with actress Michelle Keegan at the time, while Stacey was still married to Manchester United player Ryan.

But the pair broke up when he embarked on The Strictly Come Dancing Tour with dance partner Katya Jones, after they reportedly went through a ‘rough patch’.

A source told The Sun at the time: “Max and Stacey were having a hard time and in the heat of the moment they called it quits.”

The source continued: ‘But now that things have calmed down, they both felt like they wanted to patch things up. They’re back together and working on their problems.’
