The actress, 23, who has been dating The Wanted star, 36, since 2022, appeared in high spirits as she was pictured departing The Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury. 

She donned a grey sweatshirt and matching jogging bottoms as she strolled down the street with a shopping bag in her hand.

To complete her look she sported a pair of chunky white trainers and wore a flawless palette of makeup consisting of a rosy red lip. 

Her outing comes after her partner Max revealed on Thursday that he has been hospitalised with a heart condition, explaining that he will have to undergo surgery over the festive period.

The singer who has battled alcoholism previously, admitted he is 'very lucky that this was caught when it was' as he shared the shocking health scare.

Max hasn't disclosed what condition he is suffering with. 

He wrote: 'Hey everyone, Yesterday I felt really unwell and was taken into hospital. Unfortunately, after some tests they’ve found that I have some issues with my heart.'

'I have a lot more tests to determine the extent of the problems and what surgery I will need to get me back on my feet.'

'It’s gonna be a difficult few weeks/months… and Christmas in a hospital bed wasn’t exactly what I had planned! But, as always, I’m surrounded with love and support by my wonderful partner Maisie [Smith], her family, my family and friends.. and I’m 100% in the best place.' 

'Although this is a huge shock and no doubt a setback, it’s something I’ll take on with all I’ve got! I count myself very lucky that this was caught when it was.'

'Apologies if I bore you with updates in the coming weeks..I’ve probably got a month in a bed and there’s not THAT much to do!' 

'Let’s do this! Much love, Max x'

Shortly after his announcement, Max posted a light-hearted jibe from his hospital bed about Manchester City's loss in Wednesday night's football game.

Lying in bed with a heart monitor across his chest, he joked: 'So I think they are officially trying to kill me off... come on boys.'

Max has been open about his battle with binge drinking and alcoholism over the years, previously admitting he drank '10 pints and three bottles of wine in one night'.

Last year, the singer revealed he used alcohol to 'adapt' to the spotlight and to help ease his anxiety during his 'lowest ever point.'

He referenced one incident in which he consumed 10 pints and three bottles of wine in one night while out celebrating his birthday.

The binge contained roughly 38 units of alcohol. The NHS advises that men and women don't consume more than 14 units across the space of a week. 

Speaking about his drinking on Channel 4's Scared Of The Dark, he said: 'I would always be p***ed before we performed. I struggled to adapt so I used to drink to make myself feel like it didn't bother me.'

Her outing comes after her partner Max revealed on Thursday that he has been hospitalised with a heart condition, explaining that he will have to undergo surgery over the festive period 

'It's quite hard sometimes to differentiate between the anxiety and depression but mine was certainly more the anxiety side which started when the boys got to number one with All Time Low.'

Referencing his birthday binge session, he confessed: 'I was ill for a week. The doctor looked at my liver and said my liver count was pretty low, I'm not messing with my liver. So I stopped.' 

Max has been in a relationship with EastEnders star Maisie since 2022.

The pair were due to play a married couple in Jeff Wayne's musical version of The War Of The Worlds, which will tour in 2025. 

The year after he performed on Strictly, Max was invited on the dance show's nationwide tour which was when he struck up a romance with co-star Maisie.

In 2022, he was forced to defend their 13 age-gap, telling Hello! 'It never enters my mind. Maisie has already done so many things that I'm in awe of – I look up to her.'

Max and Siva Kaneswaran reformed the group earlier this year a decade after the boyband's split.

After Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes chose not to join, Max and Siva joined forces as a duo in April, embarking on a tour as the Wanted 2.0.

The Wanted released a statement in January 2014 to announce they were taking time apart to 'pursue personal endeavours'.

Max and Siva announced last week they will be headlining their very first UK headline show as The Wanted 2.0 in Manchester Cathedral.

They also announced they are headlining ten dates in 2025 with the UK’s biggest food and music festival. 

Following Max's health scare, it is unclear whether the duo will be going along with their tour.
