And now, the 36-year-old has taken to social media to share a cryptic quote with her legion of fans.
It read: “Sometimes you just have to let people be…
“Be who they are, do what they do, act how they act, say what they say.
“Let them live their version of reality. Let them sit with their lies and delusion while you sit with the truth in peace.”
According to insiders, Millie is desperate to cut ties with Made In Chelsea – the show that made her famous – and move away from being known as a former reality star.
As a result Millie – who shares Sienna, five, and three-year-old Aurelia with husband Hugo Taylor – has decided to make a fresh start and sign with YMU, the home of stars including Ant and Dec and Claudia Winkleman.
It’s thought that Donna has been left “deeply upset” by what she allegedly feels is a “betrayal” from Millie.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Millie has become increasingly disenchanted with still being known as an ‘ex Made In Chelsea star.’
“Whatever venture she tips her toes into, the label seems to follow her everywhere – and she’s had enough.
“The show made her name, but she hasn’t appeared on it for over a decade and to her, it feels like another life.
“So, in order to finally make a clean break from it, she made the difficult decision to part with Donna.
“They have been friends for over a decade, Donna is the godmother to Millie’s children, they have holidayed together for years, and share countless memories.”
Sources also claim that Millie has added to the snub by unfollowing Donna on Instagram.
The Sun has reached out to Millie’s reps for comment.

Now, his brother James has joined Instagram and posed topless for his profile picture with Adam’s photo in the background.
“They’ve always been close but like any normal family, brothers fight, argue, fall out, make-up and start all over again. But it’s got out of hand.
“There’s been very little empathy towards Jamie’s genuine mental health difficulties.”
However, Adam recently assured fans there were two sides to the story and insisted he only has good intentions.
It follows claims that he has changed since meeting Holly and becoming part of the Ramsay clan, distancing himself from his working class roots.
He continued: “Bethany, Holly and myself cannot go into detail given an ongoing policeinvestigation into serious matters that arose long before recent events.
“For those who know me personally, you know that I work so hard on trying to improve myself as a person who wants to contribute to making the world a better place.
“I am continuing to learn about myself and how I can be the man I want to be; a worthy partner, father, businessman, friend and athlete; even through these challenging times.
“Bethany, Holly and I will get through this – we do not ask for sympathy. We just need people to be aware that there are always two sides to every story.
“To those of you who have reached out and shown kindness and understanding – thank you. It is deeply appreciated.”

Katie, 47, heaped praised on I’m A Celeb star Kelly, 45 – after they traded digs in the past.
She said she’ll be supporting the Heart Radio presenter in the jungle and claimed on the latest episode of her podcast: “I love Kelly Brook.”
She added: “The only difference between us was she came from a dance background and wouldn’t get her t**s out.”
The glamour model – previously known as Jordan – also spoke out on their connection to rugby star Danny, 38.
Katie said: “She was going out with Danny Cipriani, and I was going out with Danny Cipriani, and he was a player with a small willy, absolute k**b.”
Her podcast co-host and sister Sophie waded in with her own memory, saying: “I remember dad meeting him and thinking he was a k**b.”
Later in the pod, the sisters discussed reports that Kelly and Katie didn’t get along.
Sophie added: “Did you call her a heffer?”
Katie replied: “I can’t remember calling her a heffer.
“She’s always had a bigger figure than me. She’s a voluptuous figure – she’s stunning, beautiful.
“I am rooting for Kelly (in the jungle) from one glamour girl to another.”
Katie and Danny’s relationship happened a year after his split from Kelly in 2010.
Their romance was short-lived, ending when Katie claimed she discovered Danny in bed with another woman.
Kelly and Danny proved to be the more enduring as they dated for around two years between 2008 and 2010, though their time together was turbulent.
Both accused the other of cheating and Danny even alleged that when Kelly began dating his rugby teammate Thom Evans, she still secretly met up with him while on holiday.
At the time, Katie used her newspaper column to take a swipe at Kelly, labelling her a “heffer” and remarking on her size with backhanded compliments.
Katie wrote: “Kelly is a brilliant role model for young girls because of her curvy figure.
Danny Cipriani’s high profile relationship history
Monica Irimia (2007) – Danny began dating Cheeky Girl star Monica in 2007. However their relationship was short lived, as it was claimed that he cheated on the singer with glamour model Larissa Summers.
Kelly Brook (2008 to 2010) – Kelly was one of Danny’s longest and most high-profile relationships. The model and actress reportedly broke up with Danny when she caught him giving his phone number to a Las Vegas stripper.
Lindsay Lohan (2010) – Danny started dating former Disney star and Freaky Friday actress Lindsay Lohan in 2010. However, their relationship was very short-lived and they split after just a few dates.
Katie Price (2011) – Danny’s relationship with Katie began in 2011 and ended that same year in a bitter feud.
Lara Bingle (2011) – Danny started dating Australian model Lara Bingle after his split with Katie Price. Lara told Who Magazine that she had “fallen in love with Danny”, just weeks before he dumped her.
Jasmine Waltz (2014 to 2015) – Jasmine and Danny began to grow close in 2010, after he split with Kelly. However, their relationship started properly in 2014. They split just a year later.
Kirsty Gallacher (2015 to 2016) – Sports presenter Kirsty dated Danny for six months between 2015 and 2016. However, their relationship broke down because of their “12 year age gap”.
Victoria Rose (2020 to 2023) – Victoria became the first woman to marry Danny when they tied the knot on April 27, 2022. The pair met in 2020 and got engaged after just a year. In November 2023, Danny confirmed that he had split up from his wife.
AnnaLynne McCord (2024 to 2025) – Actress AnnaLynne McCordreportedly met Danny onRaya, months after he split from Victoria Rose. Danny described AnnaLynne as his “miracle” after making their relationship public. However, the couple eventually went their separate ways in 2025.
“Every mum should make her daughter look at the recent set of pictures that show Kelly modelling her latest New Look range in Miami.
“They don’t appear to be airbrushed and I’m FLABbergasted to see how big Kelly really is.
“Rumour has it she’s been hanging out with our mutual ex Danny Cipriani. Knowing him, I guess she’s probably been doing a bit of comfort eating.
Her comments came amid rumours that Kelly was considering rekindling things with Danny.
The following day, Kelly responded, insisting that such remarks were “unladylike.”

Adam said his wife-to-be Holly, 25, and his sister Bethany had both been “targeted” and “hurt” by the drama, which now involves police.
It reads: “Over the past few days, a lot has been reported and comments posted about the private life of Holly and myself.
“My sister Bethany, has also been targeted. This has been almost entirely one-sided and, in many cases, excessive and intrusive. It has been deeply hurtful and upsetting to read, especially given the false basis upon which we have been targeted.
“What makes it worse is that it has been encouraged by members of my family.”
The champion swimmer assured fans there were two sides to the story and insisted he only has good intentions.
It follows claims that he has changed since meeting Holly and becoming part of the Ramsay clan, distancing himself from his working class roots.
He continued: “Bethany, Holly and myself cannot go into detail given an ongoing police investigation into serious matters that arose long before recent events.
“For those who know me personally, you know that I work so hard on trying to improve myself as a person who wants to contribute to making the world a better place. I am continuing to learn about myself and how I can be the man I want to be; a worthy partner, father, businessman, friend and athlete; even through these challenging times.
“Bethany, Holly and I will get through this – we do not ask for sympathy. We just need people to be aware that there are always two sides to every story. To those of you who have reached out and shown kindness and understanding – thank you. It is deeply appreciated.”
Adam’s aunt Louise previously brandedhis fiancée Holly “divisive and hurtful”in a bitter online rant after her sister Caroline wasn’t invited to her hen do at Soho Farmhouse. Caroline was later banned from the couple’s wedding at Bath Abbey next month.
Bethany attended the hen party, as did Holly’s mum Tana Ramsay and close friend Victoria Beckham.
Taking to Instagram, Caroline praised her sister by sharing a quote which read: “The moment you realise: the little sister who once drove you crazy is now the one who keeps you sane.
“Your loudest supporter and forever best friend.”
It continued: “She eventually becomes the comfort zone which every elder sister secretly needed all along.”
Caroline added: “Louise I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my protector through this difficult time x.
“To the people who are being so cruel to my sister, please stop. Sadly you obviously don’t understand the bond of sisters.
Adam was escorted by five police officers through passport control upon touching down in the UK. His brother was later arrested at his Staffordshire home.
A source close to Adam and Holly said: “This feud is heartbreaking from both sides.
“But the reality is that Adam sees his mum Caroline to be enabling his brother’s actions rather than pushing him to deal with his demons.
“Poor Caroline must feel utterly torn and it’s just very hard for everyone.
“Gordon has been incredibly supportive of Holly and Adam; after all, he’s been through similar issues with his own brother.”

He said: “They’re brothers.
“They’ve always been close but like any normal family, brothers fight, argue, fall out, make-up and start all over again. But it’s got out of hand.
“There’s been very little empathy towards Jamie’s genuine mental health difficulties.”
While Caroline, who supported Adam’s swimming career from a young boy to record breaker, has claimed she wants to repair the rift.
She told the Daily Mail: “I know it’s the end. But please, the message I want Adam to hear is no matter what happens in the future, please know I love you, your dad loves you, you can come home and talk to me at any point.
“There’s nothing you’ve done that I would not forgive. I love you so much.
“I hope your marriage is a good one, I don’t wish any ill on you and I want you and Holly to have a long and happy marriage, like your dad and me. The reason I’m speaking out is I want all this to end.”
EXCLUSIVE: Charlotte Crosby is back with a new Paramount+ reality show, Geordie Stories: Charlotte Mam of Two, and has shared an update on her infamous feud with Vicky Pattison

Charlotte Crosby has shared an update on where she stands with Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky Pattison after their infamous feud. Speaking to The Mirror, the 35-year-old saying that they don’t speak “for obvious reasons”.
Charlotte and Vicky fell out over 10 years ago, when Vicky allegedly accused Charlotte of copying her fitness DVD before calling Geordie Shore “toxic”. Last year, Charlotte said that she would apologise to Vicky if she were to see her again, saying that she understood why she turned her back on the show.
“She kind of turned her back on us. She did s**g the show off and everything about it, and we weren’t happy with her doing that. But now, looking at where I’m at now, I actually look back at that and think, actually, she’d just grown up,” she said last February.
“Now that I feel it, now that I’ve started a family, I totally kind of get where she was at. But I couldn’t understand then. So I feel like I get her now because I’m in the same place she was back then.”
However, Charlotte has now admitted that the pair are yet to bury the hatchet. When asked whether she would do Strictly Come Dancing, with Vicky taking part this year, Charlotte said: “Yeah, she’s on there this year,” before swiftly moving on.
She later said that she still stays in touch with a handful of people from her Geordie Shore days – except for ex Gary Beadle and Vicky. “Holly [Hagan] and Sophie [Kasaei] are my best friends. I still speak to Aaron [Chalmers], Scott [Timlin], still very close to James [Tindale]. Basically everyone but Vicky and Gary – for obvious reasons.”
While Charlotte’s Geordie Shore days are far behind her, she is now the ‘Boss’ on Aussie Shore – the Australian spin-off. In her new Paramount+ show, viewers watch as Charlotte heads Down Under for work, but finds juggling her career and motherhood hard work.
“It wasn’t as enjoyable because there was just too much to think about across the board,” she said about filming her new show, which features her fiancé Jake and their two daughters, three-year-old Alba and nine-month-old Pixi. “There’s always a lot of overthinking because my kids are involved.
“You’re very protective over your kids and I found myself being protective over the stupidest things. We were in a restaurant and Alba kicked the waitress. I was overthinking it so much… ‘Is she going to look really bad?’ But I watched the episode back and I was more at ease because it wasn’t like that – two-year-olds are two-year-olds but I just can’t be bothered by that type of thing.”
As for what’s next, Charlotte is setting her sights on the jungle – having taken part in the Australian version before. “I was so bad on the Australian version – I didn’t care,” she said.
“But I had no one to do it for. I was younger, I had an attitude problem. I just saw it as a pay cheque. Whereas now, there are two young girls watching my every move and I’ve got something to prove to myself. To them, to the world.”
Geordie Stories: Charlotte Mam Of Two airs from Wednesday 19 November on Paramount+
BROOKLYN Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz are willing to end their feud with David and Victoria – if they issue a public apology.
The once impenetrable Beckhams have been split apart with eldest son Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz adrift in California.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz want an apology from Davie and Victoria BeckhamCredit: GettyDavid recently celebrated his knighthood with VictoriaCredit: Instagram
Hot sauce entrepreneur Brooklyn was notably absent from dad David’s knighthood celebrations last week as Golden Balls marked the honour, given to him by King Charles inside Windsor Castle, with a Michelin star meal at pal Gordon Ramsay‘s Chelsea restaurant.
Prior to that, Brooklyn failed to congratulate his dad on achieving the lifelong dream when the honours list was announced, and he missed a number of events celebrating Becks’ 50th birthday.
One of which, David’s fishing trip to Scotland with sons Cruz and Romeo, saw the dad-of-four write on Instagram afterwards: “You were missed @brooklynpeltzbeckham.”
An insider has now said that while a public apology won’t thaw the ice overnight, it would go a long way to healing the feud which is said to be fuelled by ‘anti-Nicola’ stories briefed to the media.
A source told the Mail: “There is an obvious first step which would be a public acknowledgement [by David and Victoria] of what they did, and an apology. It cannot be a performative thing. There is no realistic chance of a reconciliation without that happening first.”
The insider added: “It is hard to understand the intensity and the escalation. It seems that they thought they could heap abuse on Nicola without any consequence. They did not let up.
“It matters what was written. It seemed as if things were being said without any regard being paid to the impact on Brooklyn. He is loyal to his wife.”
Publicly, David and Victoria haven’t directly addressed the fallout, though Victoria did hint at her feelings in an interview ahead of the release of her Netflixdocumentary.
In it, she spoke about seeing Oasis at Wembley Stadium after brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher reconciled for an epic tour.
Many drew parallels between the warring Manc brothers and the Beckham siblings, who have traded online digs amid the feud.
“I just think their mum must be so happy,” Victoria told The Sunday Times.
“It must have been really tough on the mum, the boys not talking for all those years.
“And I just think as a mum, that must be … she must feel so happy to see her boys getting on.”
The designer is described as having become “lost in thought for a moment” by the interviewer.
There are contrasting stories over a wedding dress row, which saw Nicola wear Valentino instead of her mother-in-law’s label, with some claiming Nicola snubbed Victoria’s brand while others say it was Victoria who U-turned on the idea.
Relations were dealt a further blow when Beckham ally Marc Anthony called Victoria the “most beautiful woman in the room” ahead of her first dance with Brooklyn, a statement the Peltz’s found disrespectful.
In the years that followed there were happy family selfies and united fronts at events attended together, but this year tensions ramped back up.
In August, the clearest indication of unrest came as Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their vows, which were presided over by Nicola’s billionaire dad Nelson, and none of the Beckhams were invited

Big Brother star Richard Storry has been on the ITV show since its return in September
Big Brother star Richard has been at the receiving end of ‘brutal’ comments from ex housemate Caroline(Image: ITV)
ITV2’s Big Brother is approaching its finale this month as viewers are having their say on who they reckon should triumph, with one clear frontrunner emerging victorious.
Since the revamped series made its comeback to ITV2 screens in September, there’s been plenty of explosive moments, from bitter rows erupting to personalities clashing spectacularly.
However, as she’s now been evicted, Richard stays in the house, with massive backing from the public – so much so that, according to betting odds last week, the star was tipped to win, with odds at 5-4.
Coral’s John Hill said: “We have seen a strong wave of support for Richard in our Big Brother betting after he escaped Friday night’s double eviction.
“There is no doubt punters are siding with Richard in his feud with Caroline.”
Richard is also the champion for some viewers, as one person wrote on X: “RICHARD TO WIN!”. Another added, “Looks like Richard is the winner of Big Brother 2025.”
Who is Richard Storry?
Richard entered the Big Brother house later than the others, arriving alongside Cameron B, Feyisola, and George.
At 60 years old, he was among the eldest within the house. On the programme, Richard disclosed he is a writer and composer with expertise in classical music.
Based on his Instagram profile, Richard’s books belong to the supernatural and fantasy categories. His debut novel was published in 2015, whilst his most recent work emerged in 2021.
According to Amazon, his bestselling title is The Cryptic Lines, which takes place in a “sprawling gothic mansion”.
Richard and Caroline feud explained
Caroline and Richard’s dynamic has dominated social media discussion since their apparent clash started the instant they encountered each other.
Despite viewers condemning Caroline as a bully, Richard has characterised their dynamic as “pantomime-like”. Former housemate Farida also revealed details about their connection, telling Heatworld that it was simply “banter.”
Nevertheless, during her departure interview, Caroline stuck to her position that she considered Richard “boring”, leaving presenters Will and AJ baffled about whether she was being honest or not. Comparing him to Mr Bean, she declared, “Richard is not funny.”
Richard’s adoption story
Throughout his stint on the programme, Richard confessed he was unmarried and has, indeed, remained single throughout his life; nevertheless, he has an adopted son. Viewers will recall Richard’s touching tale about how he adopted his son, who was then a 33-year-old refugee.
While in Malaysia, he encountered a young man, who is now his son, and shared: “He was a refugee from Myanmar, which is the next country up if you know your geography, and he told me quite early on that he had lost his father when he was a kid.”
As their bond grew stronger, Richard frequently visited the country, and eventually, they decided to formalise their father-son-like relationship.
One viewer posted on X: “Richard’s adoption story is already one of the most intriguing and beautiful stories I have ever heard on Big Brother. I am sobbing.”
Another commented, “Can’t cope with Richard adopting a 33-year-old refugee. Stop the show and crown him already.”
Big Brother airs Sunday to Friday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm.
NICOLA Peltz has snubbed her father-in-law David Beckham’s knighthood as the family feud rumbles on.
The actress returned to social media on Tuesday to share a picture of a bunch of flowers from her sister but failed to make mention of David’s honour.

Alongside the picture, she gushed: “Omg @brittanyleahpeltz thank you so so so much these are breathtaking.”
David received his knighthood from King Charles at Windsor Castle for services to sport and charity and were joined by his family for the special occasion.
His wife Victoria Beckham and parents Ted and Sandra watched on as the King bestowed the honour on him with a gentle touch of a sword on either shoulder.
His children Romeo, Cruz and Harper were also involved in celebrating the big day with their beloved dad.
However, eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola were noticeably absent from the big day and much like his other half, Brooklyn has failed to make any mention of it on social media.
Romeo and Cruz both took to Instagram to share sweet tributes to their dad but their big brother has stayed silent.
Romeo shared an adorable picture with his parents and siblings as he penned: “No one deserves this more than you, love you so much xxx. Congrats Sir dad @davidbeckham.”
While Cruz shared the moment David received his knighthood on his stories as well as sharing David’s post.
Brooklyn and Nicola’s snub comes after he is believed to have “quit” the famous family this year following rising tension.
The Beckham family feud is understood to have actually started four years ago, when Nicola refused to wear a wedding dress designed by Victoria.
Tensions then became public when Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge fashion designer Victoria on Mother’s Day.
He then failed to show up at any of David’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year.
The couple reside in their mansion in Los Angeles and appear to be very close to Nicola’s side of the family.
They tied the knot in 2022 and renewed their wedding vows earlier this year, with the ceremony being officiated by her father Nelson.
Only her family were present for the big day, with the Beckhams not being involved.
Despite the ongoing tensions, David put his best foot forward to receive the biggest honour of his career and become Sir David Beckham.
It marks the end of an agonising wait for the charity ambassador, who was first put forward for a knighthood in 2011.
He took to Instagram to pen his feelings as he wrote: “I can’t even begin to describe what a special day it is for me today, a boy born in East London, to receive a Knighthood from His Majesty The King.
“I am truly humbled and so grateful for this honour.
“All I have ever wanted to do is to make my family proud.” the star gushed.
Becks then added a sweet message to his four kids as he wrote: “To my beautiful children who I am so proud of and I know this is a proud and inspiring day for them as well, they are our greatest joy in life and my inspiration every single day. I love you all so much…”

Sir David then went onto reveal just how much the honour meant to him.
“All I have ever wanted to do is to make my family proud.” the star gushed.
Becks then added a sweet message to his four kids, and wrote: “To my beautiful children who I am so proud of and I know this is a proud and inspiring day for them as well, they are our greatest joy in life and my inspiration every single day. I love you all so much…”

THE once chart-topping boyband is said to have cut all final ties following a long-running secret divide, years of silence and bitter behind-the-scenes fallouts.
The Wanted shocked fans after they split in January 2014 to ‘pursue personal endeavours’Credit: GettyThey briefly reunited in 2021 for a charity concert in Tom’s honour, but old wounds have reopenedCredit: GettyNow, only some of them are on speaking terms, and one band member reveals why they will never sing together againCredit: Getty Images – Getty
The platinum-selling group were behind hit songs such as “Glad You Came”, “All Time Low” and “Chasing the Sun” before they disbanded.
They briefly reunited in 2021 for a charity concert in Tom’s honour, but old wounds have reopened – and some members are said to no longer be on speaking terms.
Insiders claimed friendships “never fully healed” after the band’s initial breakup, with egos, solo projects and clashing personalities driving a deeper wedge between the lads.
The break up
The Wanted announced they were to split in January 2014 to “pursue personal endeavours” after completing their upcoming ‘Word of Mouth Tour’.
In a statement posted on their website, the band said: “The Wanted are pleased to announce the release of their new video and single ‘Glow In The Dark’ taken from their November release ‘Word of Mouth’.
“They are very excited to perform ‘Glow In The Dark’ along with their smash singles ‘I Found You’, ‘Chasing The Sun’, and ‘Glad You Came’, amongst others for their fans on their upcoming ‘Word of Mouth Tour’.
“This tour will be their last for a while as Tom, Max, Jay, Siva and Nathan have collectively decided to take time to pursue personal endeavours following the tour’s conclusion.
“The band wants to stress to their fans that they will continue on as The Wanted and look forward to many successful projects together in the future.
“They thank their fans for their continued love and support and look forward to seeing them on tour.”
‘Very difficult conversations’
Although their official statement claimed they’d “continue on as The Wanted,” Max later revealed that simmering tensions and clashing ambitions had secretly driven the group apart.
Max admitted: “Over the past year, there has been a lot of tension. Our personal lives drove us apart – things started to happen and we were drifting. We used to be such a brotherly pact, but it started to feel like it wasn’t The Wanted anymore.”
He went on to confess that he and bandmate Nathan were the ones who pushed for the split – despite protests from the others.
“We had a very difficult conversation,” Max said. “Our manager Scooter Braun asked us who would want to take a step out after and try to do their own thing. Me and Nathan both said we have other ambitions.”
Both singers went on to be represented by Braun – with Nathan briefly finding solo success (and headlines) thanks to a short-lived PR romance with Ariana Grande, while Max landed a role on Glee.
But behind the scenes, the duo’s diverging paths reportedly caused even more tension within the group.
Siva hits out at Max
Siva hit back at bandmate Max after The Wanted split, slamming his comments about “personal relationships causing issues” as “untrue and very unfair.”
Speaking out in an interview, Siva instead blamed their E! reality show The Wanted Life for sparking tension within the group.
He said: “I think from doing the TV show we all kind of knew where we stood and from that I felt like there was some sense of… I felt like it was every man for himself looking back on when the show aired.
“I’ve never been that way and I’d never actually seen it before until I looked back at the show. I think that is where we lost the team element and from there it kind of just went.”

Despite the rift, Siva said he wanted to find common ground with Max, adding: “Aside from the drama with Max, I’m going to talk to him to find a way forward and be adults about it.
“All of us boys are like brothers, it’s all I’ve ever known and we’re going on tour together.
“I think we’re just going to be professional with each other and give the fans a good show – because it’s all about the fans at the end of the day.”
Nathan cutting ties
In 2016, Nathan admitted he wasn’t talking to Siva or Max anymore.
Nathan told Yahoo: “I still class Jay [McGuiness] as a really good friend. He’s a really nice person. And Tom [Parker], I’m not so sure about where the others are at but I’m sure they are very busy and very happy.”
However, Nathan admitted that if everyone was on board with a reunion, he would be happy to have a “conversation” about it.
He said: “Obviously, I am very focused on my solo career at the moment, so I haven’t thought about the band ever getting back together, but you never know what is going to happen in the future.
“If there was an opportunity and everyone wanted to, it’s a conversation, but if everyone is still happy doing their own thing, then I think everyone will just be happy to continue as they are.”
Meanwhile, Siva was living in Los Angeles, attempting to crack Hollywood.
His illness brought the group back together, reuniting them publicly in October that year.
Reflecting on the reunion, Max said: “I think I speak on behalf of everyone, in the time away from it, it gave me time to reflect and appreciate what we’d achieved and how good our music actually was.
“Because at the time we were doing it, it was so packed in that we didn’t get to really appreciate how much we enjoyed each other’s company or how good our music was because… like, every day, it was all a bit mad.”
Jay added: “Even when we were under so much pressure and we’d be squabbling and whatever was going on, we always had fun, we were always very down to earth. But really,” he continued on a more serious note, “time helps a lot. And all of our perspective has changed.
“We are grateful, we’re the boy band that walk into the room and are, like, ‘I’m just happy to be here.’ Back in the day, Max has said this a few times, we wanted a number-one after number-one because we’d had that, and we felt terrible when we didn’t get that. And when five young men have that sort of ambition, it can get really tense.”
Jay said he believes the group reunion proved they could finally let bygones be bygones and simply enjoy being together again.
“There was a moment where I thought I was going to break down and have a meltdown,” Tom admitted.
“But the boys just comforted me… It was just an emotional night all around, even for the whole day and stuff. And just walking into the venue – we had never played the Royal Albert Hall before, when we played all around the world.”
He added: “There’s just something beautifully special about it.”

Max and Siva tour
The Wanted fans were left baffled in May 2024 after Max announced he was heading on tour with just one of his bandmates.
The Strictly Come Dancing star revealed he would be touring alongside Siva – but without Jay or Nathan.
Before the tour, Max told fans: “Myself and Siva can’t wait for this! Our first time in India… dream come true!”
Fans were quick to question the absence of Jay and Nathan – sparking fears the original line-up had officially fallen apart.
It later emerged that Jay would be performing in 2:22 A Ghost Story in Dublin, while Nathan is thought to be focusing on new music.
The shows marked the first time members of the group have performed since the tragic death of bandmate Tom.
The divide
The band have openly admitted there was a clear divide during their heyday – with Max and Tom on one side, and the others forming their own group.
Max and Siva even confessed they never imagined they’d end up touring as a duo when The Wanted went on hiatus in 2014, admitting they “weren’t the closest” and barely spent time together off stage.
Max said: “I’m not going to lie, if you’d said to us 10 years ago that it’d be me and Siva doing this together we’d be like no, never.
Siva agreed: “Max was with Tom, I was with Nathan and Jay.”
Max continued: “Apart from working, we didn’t spend any time together, so I feel like I’ve got to know Siva more in the last year than in the whole 10 before it.
Reflecting on Jay and Nathan’s decision not to rejoin the group, Max added: “We had lots of conversations with the other boys and each other.
“The other boys are so happy doing what they’re doing and they’re really focused on their lives and their careers.
Siva added: “We missed being in the band… we really wanted to get back on stage.”
Future reunion?
Earlier this year, Nathan told The Sun they would never get back together – as the band “will only ever be a five-piece.”
Nathan, Tom, Max, Siva and Jay reunited for a greatest hits album and one-off show in 2021, which was followed by a tour in early 2022, ending just two weeks before Tom’s passing.
Speaking about the emotional concerts, Nathan said: “Obviously, you’d give anything for it not to have happened.
“But, equally, I’m so grateful that we were able to have that time, given that it did happen.
“It was just such a special time and the reception that he got every night, he really felt it. And it meant so much to him that he could do that.
“He was desperate to do that tour. There were tough moments, but we were having some of our fondest memories with Tom over that time.
While Max and Siva toured as The Wanted 2.0 – a four-piece reunion with Nathan and Jay seems out of the question.
Nathan said: “I’m really happy for them. They get a lot of enjoyment in performing the music and they see it as a tribute to Tom.
“Whereas Jay and I’s approach to it is that there’s a lot of emotion attached to that still. And I think we would find that really difficult.
“It’s just two different approaches and neither one is wrong. I think it’s really difficult imagining The Wanted as a four-piece because The Wanted has been and will only ever be a five-piece.
“It’s difficult imagining not performing with Tom.”

But Max and Siva were noticeably absent from Nathan’s wedding.
Speaking toOK!Nathan said: “We haven’t touched base recently, so I’m not sure they would have known the wedding date.
“With them being out in America at the time, we’ve not had the chance to [catch up], but I’m sure we will soon.”
He added: “We had a room full of people we’re comfortable with, so it was a really safe space and allowed us to relax.”
However, it now seems that Max and Nathan might not be talking at all.
Unfollow
Fans on Reddit noticed that the pair unfollowed each other on Instagram, cutting off social media communication.
One said: “Couldn’t help but notice Max and Nathan unfollowed each other? I wonder if there’s any beef between them lol.”
Another added: “I’ve always suspected Max and Nathan had a falling out before they broke up the first time.”
A third penned: “It’s a real shame because teenage me loved Nathan and Max’s interactions.
“I remember when Nathan used to comment on Max’s ig posts around 2 years ago.
“They haven’t followed each other in a very long time.”
