Strictly's Maisie Smith puts on sizzling display in ultra-glam mini-dress

Strictly Come Dancing star Maisie Smith has floored fans with her latest glam Instagram offering.

The 19-year-old - who's put her name down for the upcoming series of Strictly - was branded "stunning" and "so pretty" as she displayed her legs in a quirky, colourful mini-dress.

Maisie crossed her legs while sat on the stairs, throwing a pouty gaze at the camera.

"Peachy keen," was all she wrote.

Fans quickly flooded the comments section.

"You so pretty wow," one wrote.

One shared a string of fire emojis, while a third wrote: "Your style is what I live for yasss queen."

A fourth wanted to know: "Oh wow stunning photo.. beautiful, where can I find that dress?"

Since Maisie's name was dropped for Strictly, reports have emerged that the show's pros are scrambling to be paired up with her.

"All the male pros really want to partner with her," an insider told The Sun on Sunday, "not just because she's young and fit, but she's also proven herself to be a brilliant dancer.

"She has a massive fan following, which often ensures contestants get far in the competition."

Fans breathed a sigh of relief when the BBC confirmed Strictly would be going ahead after the Covid disruption had raised doubts.

And the line-up, which you can check out here, looks to be one of the most star-studded yet.

The Wanted's Max George, actress Caroline Quentin and GMB's Ranvir Singh are among the other big names that will be putting on their dancing shoes.

Jamie Laing will be there too, having sat out last year's show due to injury.

This means she will be dancing with another woman, professional Katya Jones reportedly already throwing her name into the ring.

Last year saw pros Johannes Radebe and Graziano di Prima perform a routine together, while Dancing on Ice welcomed their own same-sex couple in the shape of Ian "H" Watkins and Matt Evers.

Nicola's told in recent weeks about how she agreed to put her name down for the show if she could dance with another woman.

"They wanted to know if I wanted to be on the show," she said, "and I said, 'Yeah, I'll do it, but I want to dance with another female.'

"It's really important, and it’s a big step for the show as well.

"It's nice to see that we're able to move on. I just can't wait to get some dancing done."
