When asked if this was the best thing she’s ever done, Maisie replied: “It absolutely is!

“It unfolded so beautifully from day one. It’s been so wonderful to be able to do it as a team and to see it on stage every night in front of such a reactive audience, it feels really great.’

Elsewhere, things appear to be going well in her personal life as well, as Maisie is currently dating fellow Strictly alumni Max George.
