Celeb duo Max George and Maisie Smith have been together since last September, after meeting on Strictly Come Dancing two years earlier. The couple's relationship has gone from strength to strength, with Max asking Maisie to move in earlier this year.

Then, in April, following the couple's April Fool's pregnancy announcement, Max left girlfriend Maisie stunned as he 'proposed' to her on The Chase. Now, in another turn of events, The Wanted singer has 'proposed' once again to Maisie on a date night in Manchester.

Taking to TikTok, Max shared a video of the couple's special night saying: 'Date night 💙 Frankie & Benny’s is taking us back to the 00’s with their nostalgic-themed ‘Bring It Back’ menu with loads of iconic menu items🤘🏼 🎸 Ends 4th July so get down there ASAP!'

The video shows the pair eating a selection of food from the menu, before Max grabs an onion ring and places it on Maisie's ring finger narrating the video, he said: "Then I popped the big question, pulled out the big guns."

Maisie commented on Max's TikTok writing: 'Best day of my life', while fans also took to the comments. One fan wrote: '🥰just a gorgeous couple', with another saying: 'cutest couple on Tik Tok 🥰'.

Only two months ago, the couple appeared on The Chase, where Max pretended to propose to his girlfriend, leaving her 'stunned'. Unaware that the couple were in a relationship, host Bradley Walsh asked: "Okay, how do you know each other? Have you been out together?"

When Max explained they were going out, Bradley was left shocked and said: "I didn't know, I'm so sorry." He then jokingly added: "So erm, when's the big day?" Max played along and pretended to reach into his pocket for an engagement ring. 😂

Take a look at some other couples who met on Strictly Come Dancing:
