He later opened up about the incident on Iain Stirling recently cancelled late night game show CelebAbility. Addressing the moment, Iain, 36, said: “The last time you were on a game show, you proposed to your girlfriend Maisie. Why did you do that? I thought it was real. You were on The Chase?”
Max admitted: “Yeah, right… It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. And, it was a joke, so…” Iain interrupted to say: “Do you know what girlfriend’s love? When their partner proposes to them as a joke.”
Max explained: “No but it was like one of them things where Brad [Bradley Walsh] has said: ‘so when’s the big day?’ and then everyone laughed. And I said: ‘well it’s funny you ask’ and put my hand in my back pocket, like that, and Maisie went all sort of giddy. Off camera she shook her head, like that [awkwardly], so I’m glad it wasn’t real.”
