EastEnders actress Maisie Smith has sparked further romance rumours with her on-screen hubby on a night out in London.
Maisie, 20, who plays Tiffany Butcher in Walford, was spotted with co-star Zack Morris while the pair enjoyed a night of crazy golf, according to The Sun.
Zack, 22, plays Keegan Baker in the BBC soap, and sat down to enjoy a meal with his co-star on what looked to be a rather cosy night out.
The pair were spotted heading into a unisex toilet together to wash their hands before sitting down to the meal.
A source told The Sun that they saw the duo looking “close” on the night out, explaining: “They didn’t seem to want to publicise they were out together and wouldn’t pose for pictures together when they arrived.”
The source explained that Zack seemed “totally at ease” with Maisie and her family while they enjoyed a game of golf together.
They added: “When they sat down to have a drink, Zack had his arm around the back of Maisie’s chair. They were whispering and laughing.
“At the end of the night, Maisie and Zack went into the same toilet cubicle. He came out a little later. Not long after, Maisie appeared. It seems they’re into one another but are trying to keep it quiet.”
However, Zack insisted to the publication that he and Maisie are “just good friends”.
Speculation began mounting about the couple getting closer in early 2020, but Maisie insisted the two have built a “great friendship” after filming so many intimate scenes together.
It comes after her relationship with fellow Strictly Come Dancing contestant HRVY emerged during the last series.
Fans became convinced the show’s two youngest contestants had forged a close bond, but the romance evidently fizzled out, with a source claiming at the time: “Just a few days after their kiss, the third lockdown came into play and it ended up being a total passion killer.”
They further claimed that HRVY had headed back onto celebrity dating app Raya to seek a connection.
During the series, HRVY said of his close relationship with Maisie: “Maisie really is so lovely and beautiful. She’s a really good friend of mine and I think she’s an amazing dancer.”
He added: “Not a lot can really happen between us because we have to be two metres apart, but I am excited to see how things blossom.”
