Max George was supported by his mother on Thursday as he made his first appearance in public since having a pacemaker fitted.
The singer had the surgically implanted device fitted in December to treat an undisclosed heart condition, but has since complained of a fluttering sensation in his chest that doctors are yet to diagnose.
Having been released from hospital on Christmas Day, George, 36, spent much of the festive period at home with actress girlfriend Maisie Smith before travelling to his mum Barbara’s home in Salford, Greater Manchester.
The Wanted singer was supported by Barbara as they ventured out for a walk with his beloved pet Pitbull, Albert.
On a chilly day in Manchester he bundled up in a military camouflage print coat while walking the dog through a local park.
The singer ensured Albert was kept on a short leash after pausing to let the animal play with a fallen tree branch.

George, who has been sober for over four years after suffering with liver issues, had a pacemaker fitted to stabilise his heart.
But taking to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday, the singer revealed he is now experiencing a strange feeling in his chest and doctor’s aren’t sure yet what it is.
George asked his followers if they have ever experienced the same thing as he sought advice ahead of a check-up.
He said: ‘I’m in the hospital tomorrow for another check up because I’ve been getting this flicking feeling in the left side of my chest. I’m actually getting it right now.
‘I was wondering if you guys knew what it might be or you’ve experienced it yourself because the doctors aren’t too sure.
‘Maybe it’s touching a nerve and it’ll go away in time or they might have to move a wire slightly but I’m all ears because all I’m doing is research.
‘I know nothing about pacemakers. Any information I could get would be most appreciated.’
