When speaking to HELLO! and other reporters during the virtual press launch for the show this month, the actress revealed that her EastEnders co-star, Scott Maslen, gave her some very specific advice.
"Scott Maslin told me, 'You're gonna lose a lot of weight so keep eating'", Maisie began, adding: "And I was like 'That's fine. I can do that!' If there's one thing I can do, I can keep eating."
How else is Maisie preparing for Strictly 2020?
