Ulrika Jonsson has hit back at Max George flipping her the finger, as he defended his girlfriend Maisie Smith against Ulrika slamming her as ‘attention-seeking’.
The drama continues – and we can barely keep up!
The feud began when former EastEnders actress Maisie, 21, posted a TikTok video of herself crying alongside the caption ‘you didn’t deserve me at all’, sparking speculation her relationship with The Wanted singer Max was on the rocks.
Former Gladiator presenter Ulrika then described the clip as ‘self-indulgent’, saying ‘it stinks of boy that cried wolf’.
‘She ensured it was a close-up, so we could actually see the very real tears rolling down her face. Very dramatic,’ she added.
Max, 34, then heard about the scathing attack and took a swipe back, sharing a cheeky selfie to his Instagram stories, in which he’s seen posing in a lift while flashing his middle finger in the mirror.

Ensuring the rude gesture was aimed at the right person, Max captioned the snap: ‘Just for you Ulrika.’
But Ulrika’s not having any of it, and she did the exact same aimed at Max.
On her Instagram stories, she gave him the finger and wrote: ‘Back atcha @maxgeorge.’
And she didn’t just stop there.

Writing in her column in The Sun, Ulrika penned: ‘I feel honoured I’ve been on your mind, Max George, sufficiently enough for you to flip me the bird on your Instagram story this week.
‘You really are the gift that keeps on giving. It really was very sweet of you.’
She added: ‘I stand by my comments,’ before taking a swipe at Max’s relationship past.
Ulrika continued: ‘It’s nice to know I’ve been on your mind, Max. Despite the fact you already have a girlfriend.

‘Oh, hang on… that’s your style, isn’t it? Being with one woman and thinking about another.
‘Rumour has it, your ex, Stacey Giggs, knows that.’
Max and Stacey started dating in 2018, following the mum-of-two’s marriage to Manchester United player Ryan Giggs ending the previous year.
However they called things off earlier this year after a four-year romance, and Max later went public with Maisie.

After their split, it was reported that Stacey told a friend that ‘Max cheated on me with Maisie. I asked him about her but he denied anything had happened.’
The Sun added that Stacey had said: ‘After everything I’ve done for him, I cannot believe he would be so rude and disrespectful. He’s a lying dog. I feel betrayed.’
In the original article taking a swipe at Maisie, Ulrika had written: ‘Now, Maisie’s not the first sleb to engage in this kind of attention-seeking nonsense and I doubt she’ll be the last.

‘What I can’t comprehend is why people feel the need to show they are capable of crying.’
The star added that she couldn’t imagine reaching for her phone ‘mid-personal drama’ and capturing an emotional moment for public consumption.
‘Surely, sadness, mourning, personal trauma or grieving is something private – not something you milk?’ Ulrika said in her blistering reaction.

She also wrote that Maisie was being ‘insulting’ by posting the clips of her tearful face with a ‘cryptic message and dramatic music’, which sparked concern and left viewers ‘fraught with anxiety’, before posting a sweet video with Max.
Maisie, who has been dating Max since August, uploaded the short video to her TikTok account with the song Evergreen (You Didn’t Deserve Me At All) by Omar Apollo playing in the background.
She captioned the empowering video: ‘Nothing but happiness these days,’ to which Max commented: ‘My absolute world my angel.’
