Max George, a member of The Wanted boyband, has been forced to spend Christmas in hospital following tests that revealed he has “some issues” with his heart. The 36-year-old, who gained fame as part of the band in the early 2010s with bandmates Nathan Sykes, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Siva Kaneswaran, was taken to the hospital on Wednesday after feeling “really unwell”.
