Michelle Keegan reveals why her engagement ended

Michelle Keegan and singer Max George are undoubtedly one of the hottest British celebrity couples since the Beckhams took over Tinseltown, so when they called off their engagement earlier this year, we were pretty shocked.

However, the end of their engagement in April did not mean the end of their relationship as some people initially thought.

Michelle opened up about it to Fabulous magazine, revealing that it was mostly due to time constraints.

"We're not engaged any more, but not because we fell out or there was an argument," she said.

"It was just there was no chance of us getting married any time soon because of our schedules.

"He's away in America most of the time now and we just had a word about it. I'm a traditionalist so if I'm engaged, I want to get married and that's not happening soon," she added.

"I was getting asked by everyone: 'Have you set a date? Have you been shopping with your mum? Have you chosen your dress?' So we just thought that we'd just say we're not engaged and then nobody will ask and there's no pressure."

Young stars Michelle and Max have been dating since the end of 2010 and they became engaged around six months later.

It was revealed (kind of by accident!) by the hunky 23-year-old singer with his Wanted bandmates on KIIS FM radio while touring around the US a few months ago.

When asked by the show's hosts about his romance, and whether he was getting married, he quickly replied: "No, no, no, not anymore."

Needless to say it caused a lot of confusion, but we're glad they're still together. With the Beckhams out of the country, we need them to gawp at/feel jealous of...
