Max George supports ‘thrilled’ girlfriend Maisie Smith as she makes huge announcement: ‘Here we come!’

Congrats, Maisie!

Actress Maisie Smith was supported by boyfriend Max George as she shared the exciting news that she will be joining the cast of Little Shop of Horrors later this year.

The former EastEnders star, who famously played Tiffany Butcher in the BBC soap opera, has since kept herself busy with various stage roles.

As she remains booked and busy, the 24-year-old is ready for a new challenge.
