Maisie later reshared the clip herself as she captioned it: "She said I was really brave."

The pair recently sat down on Loose Women in their first TV interview as a couple to hit back at critics of their age gap love.

Maisie insisted comments about their difference in age didn’t bother her, saying: “The people we allow in our lives are so happy. My mum has never seen me so happy. That's all that really matters to me.”

Max added: "It’s a shame when it tries to make it look like we have done something wrong."

The star recalled how calm Max has made her feel when they last appeared on Loose Women – just as friends.

She said:  “We've known each other for two years he's always been a good friend. I always get nervous for interviews.

I remember I was pacing, thinking "what if I could go blank?" He was the only person who could zen me. We've always had a nice bond and trust.”

Max admitted they were so close before they started dating, telling the panel: “When we had the Strictly tour, she told me everything - far too much. About boys, stuff that I don't want to know!”
