THE Wanted star Max George appeared in good spirits as he reunited with girlfriend Maisie Smith amid his recent health woes. The couple looked loved-up as they enjoyed a stroll with Max's beloved pet dog. Max, 36, and Maisie, 23, were forced to spend some time apart during his difficult health battle owing to his girlfriend's commitment to performing in panto.

However, they looked delighted to be back in one another's company amid the up and down past few weeks. Max could be seen smiling as his recovery continues after his recent heart problems which saw him be fitted with a pacemaker. On their walk, both Max and Maisie kept covered up amid the cold with big coats and woolly hats.

Max returned to live with his mum earlier this month to aide his recovery after being admitted to hospital for emergency surgery over the Christmas period. Max - who went sober four years ago amid previous liver problems - saw his heart rate dramatically drop last month.

The condition was diagnosed as a 2:1 block - and with no improvement after a week he was given an emergency operation to have a pacemaker fitted. Following medics diagnosing the block, Max underwent an emergency operation to have a pacemaker fitted. Max’s medical drama began when he woke freezing with blue hands on December 11.

At the time he was staying with his mum Babs, 63, at her home in Manchester after returning from a month-long tour of the US. Speaking exclusively to The Sun in his only interview since his health ordeal, Max recalled: “I hadn’t been feeling myself for a few days, I started feeling a bit rough.
