Strictly Come Dancing favourite HRVY has opened up about his friendship with the “lovely and beautiful” Maisie Smith.
The 21-year-old has revealed that he is “excited to see how things blossom” between him and the EastEnders beauty as they both compete for the glitter ball trophy.
Wriing for OK! Magazine, YouTuber HRVY penned: “I’ve actually seen her the least out of everyone because she’s not been in any of my rehearsal spaces.
“But yeah, Maisie really is so lovely and beautiful – she’s a really good friend of mine and I think she’s an amazing dancer.
“Not a lot can really happen between us because we have to be two metres apart, but I am a little excited to see how things blossom.”

HRVY and Maisie, 19, have excited fans after being caught flirting on social media with cheeky comments on one another’s posts.
However, an insider told the Sun that Strictly bosses are keeping a an eye on them to ensure they don’t breach social distancing rules with a romance.
The source told the publication: “Maisie and HRVY are being monitored by the producers after it’s become clear their connection could easily lead into a Strictly romance.
“They’re both young, single and hot and the thought is that the two of them could bring the other cast into risk if they break the guidelines and get closer.

“They have both been told, as have the rest of the cast, that kissing is off limits. Usually the Strictly cast are very tactile. Not in 2020.”
HRVY is partnered with professional dancer Janette Manrara for the competition, who is married to fellow Strictly pro Aljaž.
The singer blew the judges away when he performed for the first time in last week’s show, with Motsi Mabuse tempted to give him a 10.
The star will be hoping to impress the judges again with his Viennese Waltz in Saturday’s instalment, with Maisie set to perform a Tango with partner Gorka Marquez.

Strictly fans are not too happy with BBC bosses after they decided to scrap the iconic Halloween special of the dancing competition.
There will be no scary make-up or frightening costumes on Saturday’s episode of Strictly as the 12 contestants take to the dance floor once again.
Strictly’s Halloween episode is always one of the most extravagant shows of each series.
The difficult decision was made to the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced the series to run for a shorter amount of weeks.
Sarah told Entertainment Daily: “We will have Movie Week and Musicals Week but we won’t have Halloween Week this year.
“We have done a Halloween group number but Halloween would fall on the second week this year and we thought it would be a bit soon for a themed week.”
Strictly Come Dancing continues on BBC One on Saturday at 7.10pm
