Max George from the Wanted says he doesn’t blame all of Britain for having a poster of fiance Michelle Keegan on their walls - because he does too. “Obviously I love her and think she’s absolutely gorgeous, so I understand why so many guys are interested and I’m not concerned about it,” the 22-year-old boy band member told News of the World.
As for whether the couple are rushing things being engaged after just seven months of dating, Max says no. “We haven’t rushed in. Even though we’re engaged we’re not going to go and get married next week, it’s a sign of our commitment,” he explained. “Anyway, I don’t think I’m too young. I think you just know when it’s right. And it definitely WAS right.”

After Cheryl Cole spent an evening together with her ex-husband Ashley at their old home, the soccer star has been bragging to pals he will win back the Girls Aloud beauty. Friends of the pop star are fuming that had Cheryl not been dumped as a judge on the U.S. ‘X Factor’ by Simon Cowell, she wouldn’t be vulnerable to being won over by the man who broke her heart. “None of this would have happened if she hadn’t lost the ‘X Factor’ gig,” a friend told The Sun. “She has gone from being incredibly busy to having time on her hands. She has been thinking a lot and was feeling extremely vulnerable when she went to Ashley’s.”
