They split up several months ago but it seems there's still some unfinished business between Max George and Michelle Keegan.

The Wanted star has asked the Coronation Street actress to give back the £10,000 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.

Reports on Thursday morning suggested Keegan was refusing to give it back.

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.

The source added that Michelle hasn't seen Max 'for a long time' and 'it's not the type of thing you can just post'.

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.

The host had asked the 24-year-old singer what the most expensive thing he had ever bought was.
