Fans of the soap speculated at the time of Jessie’s crude post on a throwback picture of Max at the 2020 NTAs, in which she wrote: ‘Remember…if you need a m***e to cry on…I’m yer gal’, was a hint the pair were romantically involved.
Max’s followers were taken aback by the crude comment as they shared their shock and amusement online.
One fan penned: ‘Omg,’ alongside a crying laughing emoji while another said: ‘@jessie.wallace_official we need more Kat, Ben & Phil scenes ❤️’.

‘The relationship was a whirlwind at the start but ran into trouble a few months ago. They tried to make it work but they decided to remain friends. Nobody else was involved.
‘Max is still very fond of Danielle and he’s gutted it didn’t work out. The consolation is at least they parted on good terms.’
An EastEnders spokeswoman said: ‘We never comment on personal matters.’
