She survived again, and Maisie has now opened up about her first dance off with Max, admitting she got very emotional.

Maisie told OK! magazine : “Some people have had it in their heads that because I’m a good dancer that I would be safe every week. But that’s so not the case.

“It was so, so scary. It wasn’t a nice feeling at all. You didn’t see it on camera, but as soon as I was saved, I just burst into tears…

“It knocked my confidence. I’ve been trying so hard – we all have. But I’ve had to keep reminding myself not to take it so personally…

“Honestly, when I heard my name, it was the scariest feeling. I’ve never been in such a scary situation.

“It wasn’t a nice feeling.”
