Max George has shared an update after he was able to return home from hospital for the festive period.
The Wanted star had a pacemaker fitted earlier this month after developed heart issues. After initially fearing he would have to spend the Christmas season in hospital, he was allowed to leave days before the special day.
Now, taking to Instagram, the 36-year-old singer has revealed he is "back on the streets". Max shared a snap of himself wrapped up while taking his dog for a walk. He also uploaded an image of his heart rate on his smart watch.
Earlier in the week Max shared the good news that he had been able to reunite with his beloved dog following weeks in hospital. He shared an adorable snap alongside his pitbull Albert as the pair cosied up on the sofa to watch football. Max had also revealed he had reunited with his girlfriend Maisie Smith since being discharged as they shared Christmas together.
In one sweet upload, Max was seen laying on the bed in a brown hoodie as former EastEnders star Maisie, 23, rested her head on his chest. It followed an update in which he had told fans: "It's time to go home. The numbers are way, way better. Feel knackered. Slept a lot today. Few more tests to do over the next couple of weeks - something to do with my lungs, but ... that's the least of my worries right now. So yep, all good. A bit battered and bruised and knackered but..."
While in hospital, Max had revealed to his followers that he had a 'block' in his heart the required surgery. He explained the operation took around 2 and a half hours and shared an image of his scar on his collarbone. He revealed it was located just below a tattoo of his late bandmate Tom Parker's date of birth.
Shortly after the surgery, he wrote: "Say hello to my little friend! Given the last 10 days, this is the best Christmas present I could have ever wished for. Pacemaker is in. Operation took around 2 and half hours. The main issue being some of my veins had collapsed where the wires were meant to go…
"But the hospital surgeons, doctors and nurses at the NHS have been incredible. I owe everything to them. The surgeon kindly put my pacemaker just underneath a very special tattoo of mine.. So I'm sure it's being looked after." He added: "Few more tests to do due to inflamed lymph nodes on my lungs, but that’ll be easy work! Time to rest and then tackle life full on once again. Thank you for all your support. It’s meant a hell of a lot to myself and my family."
