They haven't been pictured together in months and he was seen locking lips with a pretty blonde on a night out recently.

So it may not come as a huge surprise for fans to learn that Michelle Keegan has broken up with Max George.

The Coronation Street star, 25, is said to have called time on their relationship in the wake of Max lip locking with a mystery girl.

A spokesperson for the actress told the MailOnline: 'I can confirm that the  relationship has recently ended .'

Max and Michelle began dating in late 2010 before the singer proposed on her birthday in June 2011.

But Max has spent most of this year in America following his band's huge success stateside, while Michelle has been tied to Manchester with her job on Coronation Street.

And in April 2011 the couple revealed they had called their engagement off despite still being together.

In June Max was seen leaving Mahiki with a pretty brunette and the pair have failed to be seen together in recent weeks.

Earlier this week Max was seen kissing a pretty blonde during a night out, which further fuelled speculation he had split from Michelle.

In a snap from the night the Wanted star can clearly be seen locking lips with the female as she drapes her arm around his neck and poses for a photograph.

Neither Max nor Michelle have tweeted about the incident but a spokesperson for the singer claimed he was simply being mauled by an overenthusiastic fan.

Speaking about the incident Michelle told The Sun: 'I don't mind. When you go out with someone in one of the biggest boybands in Britain you have to expect this sort of thing.'

'It happens all the time, even when I'm with him. Women just rush up and kiss him. I'm relaxed about it. Blokes do it to me too. It comes with the job.'

Michelle is beautiful blah blah! Fake hair, fake teeth, fake tan and fake breasts! Maybe Max wants someone real... What you see is what you get with him, not everyone will like it but its true! He's still a kid and has lots of growing up to do now he's used Michelle!! This relationship was doomed from the start...surely anyone could see that! Prehaps now we will get some peace and quiet and won't have to read anymore rubbish abot the barmaid and boyband member! - mel, manc, 21/7/2012 10:10-------------Someone sounds a bit jealous to me. I know Michelle, and her boobs, teeth and hair aren't actually fake so get your facts straight. She's a lovely person and the majority see her beauty.

Michelle does not have fake teeth or boobs, so I don't know why jealous readers continue saying she does! Max is an idiot!!

Everyone have you seen her act? If not don't bother, I can't understand a word she says.. As for Max get in... You can do far better mate.

Max is ok I saw him on Fistral beach a few days ago with family and friends... He's certainly over her!

i often wonder why young successful people want to settle down so quickly ! they both in showbiz and surely have been warned of the pitfalls of these kind of relationships. learn your lesson kids and settle down at forty like i did ! have a couple of kids and life is grand !!

Shocker! Ahem....
