Strictly’s Maisie Smith flaunts her toned physique in tiny green hotpants as she leaves training

She’s set to perform a samba with dancing pro Gorka Marquez on Saturday night. 

And Maisie Smith appeared to be in good spirits as she left rehearsals after a long day training in London on Wednesday.

The EastEnders star, 19, looked every inch the dancer as she flaunted her toned physique in green hotpants while heading to her car.

Maisie cut a relaxed figure in her tiny green shorts and an oversized red jacket which she had rolled up at the sleeves.

The actress wore her long auburn locks down and naturally wavy, letting them cascade over her shoulders as she walked across the parking lot.

She also appeared to have gone makeup free for the rehearsals and kept her accessories to a minimum only donning some gold earrings.

Maisie and dancing partner Gorka are currently preparing to dazzle audiences when they dance a samba to Gloria Estefan’s track Samba on Saturday night.

It comes after Maisie took to Instagram to share a snap of herself sprawled out on the floor with a cup of coffee next to her. 

Maisie showed off her enviably-toned abs in a tiny blue sports bra and matching skintight leggings. 

She captioned the snap: ‘If your rehearsals don’t end up like this you’re doing it wrong’.

The soap star then shared a close up snap of her face where she gazed at the ceiling looking worn out.

Gorka, 30, also took to Instagram Stories to share a glimpse of training with Maisie, saying: ‘Rehearsal day we were on lunch break, well we were on lunch break, she’s been practising the whole lunch break, a great student!’  

He then turned the camera to show Maisie going through her solo steps as she prepared for the first live show this weekend.

Later Gorka shared another clip after a lengthy day of training, with Maisie admitting that despite her commitment she’d struggled with getting through the day.

He said: ‘Monday rehearsal finished, how are you feeling?’ to which Maisie replied: ‘I’m done,’ clearly exhausted after spending hours in the training room.

Gorka added: ‘She wanted to stay until like 10, I said you won’t make it, and I was right she didn’t make it!’ 

Earlier this week head judge Shirley Ballas offered some words of wisdom for Maisie, who is already the bookies favourite to be crowned series champion.

Maisie, who stars as Tiffany Butcher on the hit BBC soap, won Strictly’s Children In Need special alongside Kevin Clifton last year – making her a favourite to win the BBC series. 

Speaking to The Sun about Maisie, Shirley said: ‘She won the special but if I was Maisie I wouldn’t take anything for granted because doing one dance is not like doing ten weeks.’ 

Maisie was paired with Gorka Marquez during the highly-anticipated Strictly 2020 opening show on Saturday night. 

It comes after Maisie recently admitted she is ‘on a mission’ to get as fit as possible, with her eyes firmly set on the glitterball trophy.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturday at 7:25pm on BBC One.
