Maisie Smith fans baffled by optical illusion as Max George hugs her with ‘6ft long’ arm

MAISIE Smith baffled fans when she posted a picture showing her cosied up to boyfriend Max George.

The Wanted singer - who has been sharing loved-up shots of his former EastEnders love since they went official last month - appeared to have an abnormally large arm.

Maisie, 21, wrote: "Once you see Max George's 6 foot long arm, you can't not see it."

The singer, 34, replied cheekily: "Sure you meant arm? 😜."

While the picture is an optical illusion where it looks like Max is reaching over behind her.

However, the arm of course belongs to Maisie, with her shoulder obscured by her friend's head.

She was pictured laughing with her new man on one side and a pal on the other after an appearance in Strictly Ballroom.

Maisie and Max have been out on the town a lot together in recent days, posing in matching outfits on Tuesday night.

Actress Maisie wore a figure-hugging strapless cream bodysuit, which she wore with a pair of statement heels.

Max channelled 90s boyband style in a cream suit and matching trainers as they posed for pictures.

The pair have been inseparable as she kicked off the UK tour of Strictly Ballroom, beginning in Bromley in south-east London.

Maisie and Max have had a whirlwind romance with him recently sharing an intimate video of the pair looking very cosy as they snuggled and kissing in bed.

The popstar - whose bulging biceps were seen in the clip - said they were enjoying some "relaxation" under the covers.
