Maisie Smith has supported her boyfriend Max George after he shared a worrying health update with his fans from his hospital bed. The 36-year-old pop star is facing Christmas in the hospital, revealing he'll have to have surgery after doctors discovered heart problems. Max - who is best known for being part of the boyband The Wanted alongside Siva Kaneswaran, Nathan Sykes, Jay McGuinness and the late Tom Parker - took to social media on Thursday (December 12) to reveal the news, saying that he had started to feel "really unwell" earlier in the week.
He wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of him trying to stay positive as he gave a thumbs up to the camera from his hospital bed: "Yesterday I felt really unwell and was taken in to hospital. Unfortunately after some tests they’ve found that I have some issues with my heart.

It’s gonna be a difficult few weeks / months...
and Christmas in a hospital bed wasn’t exactly what I had planned!" The 'Glad You Came' hitmaker - who is currently dating former soap actress Maisie - admitted that the whole ordeal had come as a "huge shock" to him but is glad that things were dealt with as soon as possible, even if it means he will be spending the festive period in bed. He said: "But, as always, I’m surrounded with love and support from my wonderful partner Maisie, her family, my family and friends..
and I’m 100% in the best place. Although this is a huge shock and no doubt a set back, 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!" Maisie is supporting Max (Image: Maisie Smith Instagram) Max was inundated with words of support from his fans and friends in the comments, with bandmate Siva writing: "Here for you brother. Rest up and get well soon." .
