Revealing a toned and muscular physique, Max looked focused while working on his core strength with a series of upper body exercises, among them chest presses, press ups and resistance band reps.

Max will be hoping his hard work doesn’t go to waste when he makes his Strictly bow with a yet to be announced professional dance partner.
Confirming his involvement on BBC’s The One Show, the singer admitted he has already spoke to former bandmate Jay McGuinness, who won Strictly’s coveted Glitter Ball in 2015.
‘I spoke to Jay earlier, he left me a couple of voice notes,’ Max explained, as host Alex Jones asked how he thinks he’ll measure up to his old friend.

‘Oh no chance, there’s no comparison, but he might be able to mentor me maybe through Zoom, he may be able to help me out. He did say he can imagine me like a little schoolboy, nervous,’ he replied.
Max rose to fame in 2009 with the group – completed by Siva Kaneswaran, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes – known best for hit song All Time Low.
A source told The Sun: ‘Max is a great signing and bosses hope he’ll help bring in a younger audience to the show as he was part of a really popular boyband.
‘It’s great for the show to have a hunk already secured to take part and given his time singing they’re hoping he has good dancing feet.’
