Max George ignites feud with Ulrika Jonsson with rude gesture after she blasts Maisie Smith as ‘attention-seeking’
MAX George has hit back at Ulrika Jonsson after she branded his girlfriend Maisie Smith ‘attention-seeking’.
The Wanted singer, 34, defiantly stuck up his middle finger in a new snap and wrote: “Just for you Ulrika,” after The Sun columnist criticised his girlfriend.
Max and Maisie, 21, went public with their romance in August of this year and have shared numerous public displays of affection on social media.
But last week Maisie sparked speculation it was all over when she posted a video of herself crying – despite the fact they were enjoying a loved-up holiday in Cyprus.
The clip didn’t impress some people, in particular Ulrika who branded her ‘self indulgent’.
Writing for The Sun, Ulrika, 55, questioned: “Surely, sadness, mourning, personal trauma or grieving is something private – not something you milk?

“To do what Maisie did, which was to accompany her tears with a cryptic message and dramatic music which had everyone tearing their hair out with concern for her, fraught with anxiety – and then in a subsequent post to be pictured snogging the face off her boyfriend as if nothing had happened at all, is insulting.
“It also exploits the loyalty and goodwill of her fans, who clearly care deeply about her.”
She concluded: “It has a whiff of the boy who cried wolf about it.”
Since being on holiday, former EastEnders star Maisie has sparked speculation she is in fact engaged to Max as she sported a huge ring.

“Max is head over heels for Maisie and wanted his family to see just why she was the perfect woman for him.

“This is not a flash in the pan romance for Maisie and Max and everyone seems to be getting on well which is all they could have hoped for.”
