Stacey Giggs is said to be “shocked” after seeing pictures of her ex Max George on board a flight last week looking very close to his former Strictly Come Dancing co-star Maisie Smith, a source has told OK!.The Wanted singer, 33, and ex-EastEnders actress Maisie, 21, were spotted “kissing and cuddling” on a packed plane, which was whisking them off on a romantic Crete getaway. A fellow passenger said: “They looked like a very loved-up couple – they were all over each other for the entire four-hour flight. Snogging and giggling like any new couple.
“My wife said it was a bit over the top at one stage.They were smooching, holding hands and kissing.” The pair, who appear to be enjoying a mini European tour, were also spotted “kissing in the pool” at a posh hotel in Majorca earlier this month. Sources say they recently enjoyed a break in Portugal, too. And while there’s no evidence of Max on her Instagram page, Maisie looked on top of the world in the sun-soaked snaps she shared with fans.
Max and Maisie met on Strictly last year, when Max was dating Stacey. According to friends, Max and Stacey split for a second time earlier this month, after briefly parting ways in March. So seeing these pictures would have left Stacey, 41, in a state of shock.
“They have managed to keep it really under wraps,” our source said. “Stacey didn’t know anything about it until she saw the pictures, so it was a shock for her.” It has come at a difficult time for Stacey, too, as her ex-husband Ryan Giggs, 44, is currently on trial accused of using controlling and coercive behaviour and assaulting his ex-girlfriend Kate Greville. “Stacey’s not in a good way anyway with everything that is going on with Ryan,” our source continued.
