Khloe Kardashian hails Maisie Smith a ‘queen’ on Instagram as surprising celebrity friendship continues

Khloe Kardashian reaffirmed her love for Maisie Smith by commenting on her Instagram account for a second time as one of the most surprising celebrity friendships continues.

The Kardashians star, 39, first reached out to the former EastEnders and Strictly Come Dancing star in November 2020 when she commented on an Instagram image she shared, in which Kardashian made Smith’s day by praising her legs.

Dropping in unexpectedly again in the comments section, the younger sister of Kim Kardashian was sure to send the Tiffany Butcher actress “blessings” on Smith’s post to mark her 22nd birthday.

“Happy birthday queen!!!!” wrote Kardashian. “My leg inspiration! blessings to you gorgeous!”

Smith had her followers in stitches when Kardashian first commented on her snap by calling the star “chicken” and she harked back to the joke by writing: “Will spot your squats ANY TIME girl thanks again x chick x”.

The post in question saw Smith posing in an abs-baring cutout pink mini dress with her bronzed legs also firmly on display.

Other celebrity well-wishes came from Smith’s boyfriend Max George.

“Happy birthday my amazing girl,” The Wanted singer, 34, penned.

“Happy birthday my girlie,” chimed in her former EastEnders co-star Danielle Harrold.
