EastEnders’ Maisie Smith reportedly spent the night at her co-star Zack Morris’s home after a date at the cinema.
The pair play married couple Tiffany Butcher and Keegan Baker on the popular BBC1 soap.
According to The Sun, they were seen heading into his flat together and leaving separately the next morning.
In pictures obtained by the publication, the 20-year-old actress was seen leaving a cinema in Essex with her rumoured beau, 22, before returning to his house in his Mercedes.
He left in his car the next morning, while Maisie left to pick up some food from the supermarket before driving away in her white VW.
An onlooker told The Sun: “They seemed to be a couple but they were looking around to check who might have seen them together.
“Perhaps they didn’t want anyone to think they were boyfriend-girlfriend but she went into his flat with him. It was quite late.”
“They were trying not to be seen too closely together, and one was either wearing a mask or had a hood up the whole time.
“But they still looked very much like a couple and people at the cinema complex definitely noticed them.”
Daily Star has contacted Maisie’s representatives for comment.
It comes after it was reported that Zack’s ex-girlfriend felt that Maisie was the “other woman” in their relationship before they split.
Make-up artist Brooke Maskell dated Zack for 18 months before splitting in December 2019.
Brooke’s close friend told The Sun: “Brooke always felt Maisie was the other woman in their relationship as she was a big flirt.
“She often says now, ‘There were three of us in that relationship’. She’s not at all surprised to see they’re together now.”
“Maisie was always there in the background. And of course when everyone was talking about Maisie and Zack’s on-screen relationship it wasn’t nice for Brooke,’ her friend went on.
Maisie and Zack have insisted that their relationship is purely one of friendship.
Last year, Maisie said: “I film most of my scenes with Zack. Naturally, we have built a great friendship.”
