Maisie Smith put on an animated display as she enjoyed cocktails after gruelling rehearsals for the Strictly live tour on Tuesday night.

The former EastEnders star, 20, was joined by fellow stars Tilly Ramsay and Max George who giggled away with Maisie as they spent time together at the hotel.

She dressed in a casual ensemble for the drinks, wearing a black logo hoodie and tying her hair back in a top knot.

She seemed in good spirits as she laughed and joked with the other two who joined her in the bar.

At one point Max got up from their table and performed a jokey dance routine, sending Maisie into fits of giggles. 

The group are preparing for the live shows which will kick off on January 20 and feature a series of other celebrities who have taken part in the programme.

Maisie and Max will be partnered with professionals Kai Widdrington and Katya Jones respectively for the upcoming shows.  

AJ Odudu was forced to pull out of the tour due to her ongoing foot injury and as a result was replaced by 2020 contestant Maisie, it was confirmed last week. 

The TV presenter, 33, had to withdraw from the BBC show's grand final in December after suffering ligament damage to her ankle during training with her professional partner Kai.
