Meanwhile, Motsi Mabuse said that she "got them up dancing".
She added: "So authentic, shake it up - I'm going crazy here!"
The pair received an impressive three eights for their routine and lavished with praise from viewers on Twitter.
One tweeted: "Blimey, Maisie is a complete ringer... hugely accomplished samba in week one. Too early for an 8?!? #scd #strictly."
While another commented: "After last year I didn’t think I could be shocked by a week 1 samba. Maisie and Gorka absolutely KILLED it
A third wrote: "Smashing a samba in week 1... is Maisie going to pull a Kelvin and get to repeat it in the final? #Strictly."
"Maisie & Gorka: Samba! Absolutely loved this routine! So great to see so many recognisable steps danced with high energy! Great choreography, great music! Our score: 8 #strictly #Strictly2020 #strictlykindness," another commented.
