Is Max single?

The hunk got married to American glamour model wife Katy, 29, in 2014 during a romantic ceremony in a barn in Rochester, Minnesota.

Max's proposal took place in Paris, but Katy didn't always find married life rosy as she felt she didn't fit in with Scottish rugby WAGs.

However, in early 2017 the pair split and blamed their relationship break-down on work commitments.

Just before he started on the show, it was revealed that he was secretly dating dancer Lauren Jamieson.
