==Love Island==
In 2016, Maxted was selected to be a part of the second series of ITV's Love Island; where he appeared from the 11th day, until the end, selecting fellow contestant Katie Salmon as his date. The pair would end the series in fourth place, behind eventual winners, Nathan and Cara. However, later after the show had ended, Maxted proclaimed he was "100% Single", comparing Katie to a Kebab, commenting on Twitter "It's like when you're eating a kebab after a night out and the first few bites taste good but then you realise that it really isn't nice at all!"
