The pair’s romance played out publicly, with Katie and Ricky often sharing loved-up snaps of them on social media until their bitter break-up. “This time she’s doing things differently – no hard launch, making her posts online all about her career and she won’t talk about Max publicly,” our source confirms. The TV star had a brief romance with Max, best known for playing Ben Mitchell on EastEnders, last October while they were both starring in the play, Murder at Midnight. They briefly split in December, but reunited back in April. Comment now
