She posted a series of video clips of Benny with the words: “Meet Benny. He was the bravest, the sleepiest, the kindest the goodest, the silliest, the handsomest big brother and best friend.

“This is your daily reminder to cuddle your pets.. RIP my angel. Benny Smith September 2007 – 1st June 2020.”

Maisie has appeared in EastEnders since she was a child, but now 18 and it’s claimed she’s being lined up for an appearance on Strictly Come Dancing.

According to bookies the redhead beauty stands a good chance of appearing on the show after impressing fans with her moves on TikTok.

The teen star has been delighting followers on the social media app during lockdown – and this could lead her all the way to the Strictly dance floor according to Ladbrokes.

The bookies make her just a 2/1 shot to appear on the next series of Strictly Come Dancing – although its format is still up in the air due to the pandemic.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Strictly chiefs love getting soap stars on board and Maisie Smith may well be the next to take to the dance floor.”

Maisie won last year’s Strictly’s Children in Need special after impressing fans with her hidden dance talent and looks set to be back for more.
