The Wanted got into a spot of bother when they landed in Australia earlier this week, as they were trying to sneak in contraband sweets.

According to The Irish Sun the band was sweating buckets as they approached border control with bags of Marks and Spenser Percy Pig sweets stored deeply in their luggage.

Australia’s strict border regulations ban visitors from entering the country with foreign foods and even Max George’s favourite sweets were not allowed in.

The airport officials confiscated the goodies after threatening to haul Max George into an interrogation room.

According to The Daily Mail Max said: “I had to throw out my Percy Pigs. Tom was like, you’ll get detained.”

Max George has been hitting the headlines in recent weeks after breaking up with Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan.

But the singer is enjoying his time in Australia and even posted photos as he and his band mates swam with sharks in Oz.
