The former Wanted singer - who's appeared in the US TV show 'Glee' - has confirmed he's hunting a role in one of the UK's iconic shows and has been busily sending in audition tapes from the comfort of his home in Los Angeles.

Max - who was previously engaged to former 'Cornonation Street' actress Michelle Keegan - shared: "I'm really happy out here and 'Glee' was one of my first auditions.

"To get that and be hanging around people such as Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison has been the best experience for me."

However, Max confesses his misses some home comforts and is very keen to land a role in one of the big soaps in the UK.

He explained to The Sun newspaper: "I do miss my family though and I'm still auditioning for roles in the UK. I'd be up for being in a soap, definitely."

What's more, he's keen to move away from having to perform an American accent.

He confessed: "I've always been a big fan of [soaps] and I won't have to perform an American accent."
