OK, it is Lindsay Lohan, which will always have a 'yikes' factor about it, but at least she's not off TOWIE. Sorry Michelle.

No one knows when this picture was taken, but Lindsay posted it yesterday evening for some reason. That reason being the slew of resulting articles posted across the web talking about about her being photographed with Max George in the presence of a bed. That's the brass tacks of it all, we could have made it all flowery like The Daily Mail, but we simply couldn't top it. Here's what they wrote:

"The red-head had a triumphant grin on her face in the shot and while the photograph betrays no hint of romantic intimacy, there's a definite closeness with the 23-year-old Mancunian hunk. Well, the main thing is... he's there. The snap seemed to have been taken in a hotel room, the crisp sheets on the bed next to the pair - who are clad in opposing primary colours of red and blue - are evocative of a five star London bolthole."

It's a beige room, with a beige bedspread. End of.

Despite the recent posting of the picture to Instagram, Max has been keen to quash any rumours that he's romancing Lindsay - or directly responsible for any physical altercations with fortune tellers - what with him gallantly saying on E! News a few weeks back: "She was good to party with, but there's definitely not going to be any babies on the horizon."

What a gent.
