Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan has opened up about why her engagement to The Wanted's heartthrob Max George came to an end back in April.

The pair began dating at the end of 2010, but called off their engagement earlier this year and Keegan explained to Fabulous magazine that the decision was mutual and based on the fact that their schedules had become so different:

"We're not engaged any more, but not because we fell out or there was an argument. It was just there was no chance of us getting married any time soon because of our schedules."

"He's away in America most of the time now and we had a word about it. I'm a traditionalist, so if I'm engaged, I want to get married and that's not happening soon."

"I was getting asked by everyone: 'Have you set a date? Have you been shopping with your mum? Have you chosen your dress?' So we just thought that we'd just say we're not engaged and then nobody will ask and there's no pressure."
