Ulrika Jonsson has slammed Maisie Smith and Max George after they pranked their followers with a fake pregnancy post.
The couple posed in a snap together, Max can be seen with his hand over his mouth, seemingly shocked as he looked down at Maisie’s stomach which she held onto, but covered with a huge heart emoji.
In her column in the Sun, Ulrika broke down the post and explained that she didn’t understand how people could “find it funny.”

“In many people’s eyes, this was a pregnancy announcement,” she typed before making a dig at Max who was formerly in The Wanted.

“The actress was with her boyfriend Max George (apparently originally from the band The Wanted but nowadays mostly from nothing) looking shocked, with his hand over his mouth.
“Little wonder then that the smug couple faced a backlash when it had been meant as a joke and Maisie’s belly was merely bloated after eating a five-course meal,” she added.

“I get that people don’t think messing around and pretending to be pregnant is funny. Especially for those who have struggled with, and maybe lost, the battle with infertility.
“And also for those die-hard fans who hang on every word and loved-up picture the couple post. It must have felt like an insult and a betrayal.

“While I have no desire to defend these two young fools, it should also be possible to josh around a bit once in a while, right? What really got my goat was the fact that, once again, this publicity-hungry couple did it all for attention,” Ulrikka continued.
“This was all about creating a stir, getting noticed and making sure they kept their names in the news. And, naturally, they got what they wanted. It’s just that in my life, they’re very much The Unwanted.”
Ulrika had previously hit out at the couple which resulted in Max sharing a snap of his middle finger and adding the caption: “Just for you Ulrika.”
