Sources told MailOnline that Wallace’s post was, “a joke, and Max was with Danielle at the time. It’s not linked to the split. Max and Danielle’s split had been on the cards for a while.”

The source added, “The relationship was a whirlwind at the start but ran into trouble a few months ago. They tried to make it work but they decided to remain friends. Nobody else was involved. Max is still very fond of Danielle and he’s gutted it didn’t work out. The consolation is at least they parted on good terms.”

Max Bowden met his ex while she was working on EastEnders as a runner; she is now a runner on Loose Women.

The handsome and talented actor posted many sweet messages about his girlfriend on social media. He wished her a happy birthday in April 2020, calling her the, “most beautiful woman on the planet.” He added, “you are the gift that keeps on giving.”
