EastEnders star Maisie Smith shot to national fame last year when she took the 2020 edition of Strictly Come Dancing by storm, becoming a firm fan favourite.
Although she didn’t win the competition she has retained her popularity and now has a huge million strong following on Instagram.
This week she had her fans in stitches after her most recent post featured a ‘reunion’ with beloved Strictly host Tess Daly, but all was not quite as it seemed.

Fans were also quick to leave their own comments underneath giggling at Maisie’s cheeky caption.

Maisie has played the character of Tiffany Butcher on EastEnders since 2008, taking a break between 2014 and 2018.
She also recently revealed that at the end of this year the character of Tiffany will be written out of the soap for good, saying “it’s time to say goodbye to Tiff.”
In this latest post on social media Maisie can be seen posing in the lift wearing an oversized baseball jacket and beige combat trousers.
She captioned the post: “When @tessdaly gives you that look”
This cryptic caption initially confused fans of the star as she was alone in the lift.
But the more eagle eyed among them were tickled by Maisie’s joke, having spotted the vitamin supplement poster in the background featuring none other than Strictly host Tess.
One laughed: “It took me so long to realise what the caption was on about”.
“Even @tessdaly is looking at you and thinking sort” another joked.
Another fan, perhaps anticipating Maisie’s Albert Sqaure exit, was a bit teary, writing: “I miss you already”, with a crying and heart eyes emoji.
“Crying,” one fan wrote with similar emojis in reaction to the photo.
