Romantic night: Michelle Keegan and Max George checked into the Radisson Edwardian Hotel after The Wanted performed at the Manchester Apollo


As The Wanted kicked off their first-ever UK tour in Manchester, Max George’s Corrie girlfriend was there to support him throughout the night.

Michelle Keegan raced over to the Manchester Apollo after finishing filming Coronation Street last night to watch her boyfriend’s gig.

And the couple made sure to celebrate after the successful concert by checking into the Radisson Edwardian Hotel for a romantic night.

Michelle tweeted yesterday: ‘Just finished work, I’m off home to get ready for tonights gig!!!! I feel like a kid on Christmas morning!!X’
While Max posted on his Twitter page: ‘manchester…..ARE YOU READY!!!???’

After the band wrapped up their opening night, Max, 22, and Michelle, 23, were spotted walking hand in hand back to the hotel.

On stage Max had been showing off his physique in a tight white vest top but changed into a looser T-shirt afterwards, branded with ‘Give Youth A Future’.

While Michelle, who plays Tina McIntyre on the soap, dressed down in skin-tight jeans and a red and white striped loose top.

Max and his bandmates Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes are heading to Newcastle on Wednesday before continuing their tour in Brighton, Nottingham, Cardiff, Pymouth and London over the upcoming weeks.

And Swinton-born Max told the Manchester Evening News that his girlfriend is more nervous about their tour than the band is.

He said: ‘It’s weird, I think Michelle is possibly more nervous than we are. She’s going to be there at both of our Manchester dates and I can’t wait.’

He continued: ‘At first I wondered if it was a good or bad thing that we start in Manchester, because, obviously, I’m worried about making mistakes in front of a home crowd.

‘But then I figured we’re probably going to make mistakes wherever we go! The Manchester Apollo is a legendary place in Manchester culture so for us to play it twice, it doesn’t get better than that.

‘When I was a bit younger, I really loved the metal gigs. I remember seeing P.O.D live at the Apollo and that was incredible, although I did get a bit beat up in the moshpit.’
