    Max George has had a pacemaker fitted after undergoing emergency surgery

    The 36-year-old pop star has taken to social media to confirm that he's had a pacemaker fitted, shortly after he revealed that he was suffering from an atrioventricular block


    Max - who is best known for starring in The Wanted - wrote on Instagram: "Say hello to my little friend! Given the last 10 days, this is the best Christmas present I could've ever wished for.

    "Pacemaker is in. Operation took around 2 and half hours. The main issue being some of my veins had collapsed where the wires were meant to go... But the surgeons and nurses at the NHS have been incredible. I owe everything to them.

    "The surgeon kindly put my pacemaker just underneath a very special tattoo of mine.. So I'm sure it's being looked after. (sic)"

    Max intends to focus on his recovery in the next few days and weeks, before he tackles life "full on once again".

    The pop star wrote: "Few more tests to do due to inflamed lymph nodes on my lungs, but that'll be easy work!

    "Time to rest and then tackle life full on once again [heart emoji] Thank you for all your support. It's meant a hell of a lot to myself and my family (sic)"

    Max previously admitted that he didn't have "too much time to wait" before undergoing surgery.

    The singer 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)"
