The Wanted star has asked the Coronation Street actress to give back the £5,000 engagement ring he bought her at the height of their relationship.
It's been four months since they called off their engagement and went their separate ways but Max is said to be eager to get his hands back on the expensive jewellery item and has even asked Michelle to hand it over.

A source told the Mirror: 'He is desperate to get it back but is not getting anywhere. It's a bit rich considering all that's subsequently come out to suddenly start demanding it back. Perhaps he needs the money.'
But a source close to Keegan confirmed to the MailOnline that Max had asked for it back but stated that she is 'more than happy' to return the ring and has no intention of hanging on to it, pointing out that she's just not seen the pop star to give it to him.

Max hinted at his unhappiness over not having possession of the ring when he was interviewed by Bauer Radio's In:Demand show earlier this week.
