Max George: 'I cried when I proposed to Michelle Keegan'

Max George has revealed that he cried when he proposed to girlfriend Michelle Keegan.

The Wanted star asked the Coronation Street actress to marry him last month - but only after receiving the approval of Keegan's father.

George told The Mirror: "I cried, she cried - there were a lot of tears all round. I asked her dad because I'm a bit of a traditionalist, then I proposed when we were in Manchester. I don't think she was expecting it.

"We haven't actually told anyone where exactly I did it. That's a secret I want to keep private between us - even the boys don't know. I just knew that it was the right thing to do, to propose, to be with her always. I just love her, it's quite easy really.

George described the moment he broke the news to his bandmates, adding: "There were definitely a lot of tears shed from a lot of people. But Tom cried the most. I told him I was leaving the band. I said I couldn't deal with it any more and had to get away. He broke down. And I was like, 'I'm joking - I'm engaged'. He called me a b**tard. Then he cried even more."

George recently admitted that the pair may sell the rights to their wedding after initially turning down a £250,000 offer from OK! magazine.
