Maisie also said that she and Max were friends before they started dating and have ‘always had a nice bond’.

She said: ‘We’ve known each other for two years he’s always been a good friend. I always get nervous for interviews.

‘I remember I was pacing, thinking “what if I could go blank?” He was the only person who could zen me. We’ve always had a nice bond and trust.’

Max and Maisie both took part in the Strictly Come Dancing tour in 2021 and were reported to be dating soon after.

But speaking about how they were friends first, Max admitted Maisie told him a lot of things he didn’t want to know when they were getting to know each other.

He said: ‘When we had the Strictly tour, she told me everything – far too much. About boys, stuff that I don’t want to know!’

Asked whether they plan on living in Manchester or London, Maisie said: ‘We’re going to live in London, he’s got somewhere in Manchester which I’m doing up.

‘I’m doing a tour at the moment for Striclty Ballroom. At Christmas we’re in Guilford, so I’m gonna drag Max and my family and we’re gonna stay in a cabin.

‘I bought a little tree from pound land and we’re going to make it really nice.’

The couple also spoke about going public with their romance on social media.

Max explained: ‘Speculation drove that more than we would have at the start, but once it was out there, we do everything out here, it was kind of like it’s out there.

‘If we do something we may as well put it out there because there is nothing we don’t do.’ 

Max also showed off the tattoo of Maisie he recently got, with the actress saying: ‘I made sure he picked a nice picture! I made sure it wasn’t a dodgy candid picture.’ 

It comes after the couple hit back at ‘concern’ over their 13-year age gap in their first joint interview as a couple.

The former soap actress would have been just nine when the The Wanted singer shot to fame and released his first single in 2010.

Max and Maisie addressed their controversial age gap, with the musician insisting ‘it never enters my mind’ and that he ‘looks up to’ Maisie, despite her being his junior. 

The pair went official with their relationship in August and moved in together just weeks after meeting on the Strictly Come Dancing live arena tour. 

Maisie addressed the backlash in this week’s issue of Hello! magazine, telling fans she has ‘never’ noticed the age difference due to the pair being so ‘like-minded’.

She said: ‘People ask me, “Do you notice it?” and I never have. We’re so like-minded. I’ve got friends in their 30s and 40s. You connect with who you connect with.’

Max added: ‘It never enters my mind. Maisie has already done so many things that I’m in awe of – I look up to her.’

Maisie described her romance with the boyband heartthrob as ‘every girl’s dream’.

She added: ‘When I get off a train, Max will be standing on the platform with a bouquet of flowers and I feel like I’m in a movie. It’s every girl’s dream and I’ve found it in Max.’

The couple also opened up about their path from friendship to romance, with sparks starting to fly when the Strictly cast and crew went on a group holiday to Portugal this summer.

Max said: ‘Towards the end of the holiday, I could feel I was looking at her differently. I thought, “What’s happening here?” I was pretty nervous to see if it was reciprocated.’

He described their first kiss as ‘mental’, while Maisie likened the passion to ‘fireworks’.

Max split with Ryan Giggs’ ex-wife Stacey in August, before she accused him of cheating on her with his Strictly co-star.

It followed reports that Stacey was furious her former partner Max and his Strictly co-star were dating publicly, just days after they split.

The report claimed that Max and Stacey’s first split in March this year was due to Stacey becoming suspicious about her boyfriend’s close relationship with Maisie, who he had spent the previous two months with on the Strictly tour.

It was on July 28 that Max jetted to on holiday to Portugal to meet up with Maisie and mutual friends. According to Stacey he continued to deny he was with his Strictly co-star, telling her in phone calls that he was in Spain.

Stacey and Max initially got together in 2018, with Max previously calling Stacey ‘the one’, after meeting way back in 2011 at V festival.

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