Maisie Smith has revealed that her long-distance relationship with Max George is 'hard' as she tours the UK while he has been stricken with health woes following heart surgery.
The actress, 24, is starring in the stage production of The Talented Mr Ripley, after enjoying a packed 2025, which saw her star in The War Of The Worlds with Max, 37.
And while the former EastEnders actress and The Wanted singer enjoyed their time together on the road, she has told the Mirror that it is 'hard' now that she is touring without him.
She told the publication: 'It was lovely working with Max, we enjoyed it, but it can be hard to be away from each other.'
This would have been particularly true earlier this week after Max was rushed into hospital on Monday night, as he shared a photo from A&E following a string of issues with his pacemaker.
The singer did not explain why he was in the hospital, but he revealed late last year that he had to go to the hospital twice in a week due to his heart suffering arrhythmia.

He was fitted with a pacemaker in December 2024 after his mum, Babs, noticed he had 'turned blue' and insisted he should go to A&E.
He later had a second procedure to fix a misplaced wire and has kept his followers updated on his regular hospital visits.
But taking to Instagram on Tuesday morning, Max revealed he was rushed to Accident and Emergency in the middle of the night as he shared a photo of himself with a cannula in his arm.
In the photo, Max could be seen sitting in a chair at A&E and he told fans: 'what now ffs... This sh** ALWAYS happens in the middle of the night. Poor Albert [dog emoji].'
In a second picture, Max shared a selfie with his face looking bright red as he was covered by a towel, captioned: 'Running HOT.'
His latest hospital visit comes just weeks after he was forced to return to the hospital for a scan.
Posting on his Stories, the musician shared a clip waiting outside an X-ray area in a hospital.
He captioned the upload: 'Another scan...' and then followed it up with an update on his visit.

Walking through the corridors, he said: 'So I'm just at the hospital in the building where I had all my heart surgeries done. I can't say it's good to be back, because it's not.
'I've just had a scan done on my chest because I've had a bit of an issue with one of my lungs, apparently,' he went on.
'Should be fine. It's just a precaution, but yeah. Back in my old second home.'
He signed off with a thumbs-up and a good weekend wish to his followers.
