Ex-EastEnders actress Maisie Smith is hoping her Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins appearance will be a springboard to relaunching her musical career – with help from boyfriend Max George.
The former Strictly Come Dancing stars are now dating following his split from Stacey Giggs, the ex-wife of former Wales boss and Manchester United player Ryan.
Max, 34 – who has also dated Corrie pin-up Michelle Keegan – shot to fame as a singer in boyband The Wanted.
And now he’s helping Maisie, 21, plot a return to music, after she released an EP called Where My Heart Is in 2017 which failed to chart.
Our source revealed: “She’s made no secret to Max of her desire to try her hand in music and Max has been very encouraging.
“He’s enjoyed great success over the years with The Wanted so has plenty of contacts who can help Maisie achieve her goal.”
