    Max George is to undergo heart surgery "way quicker" than doctors first thought, because he "doesn't have too much time to wait"

    The Wanted singer, 36, recently admitted he may need to have a pacemaker fitted, and in his latest health update the star has told how he had a full CT scan on his heart, and doctors have decided to act fast after his heart rate failed to pick up "in almost a week"


    He wrote on Instagram: "Had a little day trip today. Full CT scan on my heart. Not something I'd choose to do again!

    "As I mentioned yesterday, I have a 2:1 block in my heart. Unfortunately my heart rate hasn't picked up at all in almost a week. Because of this, we don't have too much time to wait so it looks like I'm going to be in surgery way quicker than the doctors first thought. I may even be home for Christmas! (sic)"

    Max has suffered a "really rough" last couple of nights, but he has been "overwhelmed" by fans' messages of support.

    He added: "The last few nights have been really rough, but I wanted to say that I'm absolutely humbled by all your messages of support. Both people I know and those i don't. It's given me a much needed boost and my family have been overwhelmed with support, which means more to me than anything.

    Much love

    Max (sic)"

    It comes after Max revealed last week he had been hospitalised with a heart problem.

    And earlier this week, the 'Glad You Came' hitmaker explained he has been diagnosed with a 2:1 atrioventricular block - a condition where electrical impulses are delayed or blocked, resulting in a slower heartbeat or an abnormal rhythm - and explained he was to undergo a scan to establish what further treatment he would need.
