Ulrika Jonsson slams 'fame hungry' Maisie Smith and Max George after stunt
Ulrika Jonsson says 'fame hungry' Maisie Smith and Max George have 'betrayed' their fans by pulling a fake pregnancy stunt.
Former EastEnders star Maisie, 21, took to her Instagram stories to post a photo of herself and The Wanted singer Max, 34, posing with a 'bump'.
After the post, the pair received angry backlash on social media but the couple appeared to have ignored the criticism and decided to make light of the situation on a romantic holiday Abu Dhabi.
That hasn't stopped many back home having their say after they sparked anger.
In the Instagram story snaps, Maisie and Max can be seen posing in front of a mirror as Max holds his hand over his mouth while looking down at her tummy.

"What really got my goat was the fact that, once again, this publicity-hungry couple did it all for attention.
"This was all about creating a stir, getting noticed and making sure they kept their names in the news."
The prank sparked an angry reaction from fans as one wrote on Twitter : "As someone on the waiting list for IVF not knowing if I'll ever be a mother, I am disgusted by @maisie_smith_ and @MaxGeorge idea of a 'joke'. Unbelievable insensitive and delusional."
