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.’

Max split with Ryan Giggs’ ex-wife 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.
