Strictly Come Dancing's Maisie Smith has viewers convinced she'll win show after just two weeks

Plenty of Strictly Come Dancing viewers are convinced they know who'll win this year after only two weeks.

This year's Strictly stars were back in action for the second live show on Saturday night which left fans angry over the fact that it wasn't a Halloween special.

But once they'd got over their disappointment, millions of people at home got to feast their eyes on some fancy footwork as the class of 2020 aimed to get their votes for the first time.

And the dancer with the highest score this weekend was EastEnders actress Maisie Smith. She was second after week 1 but leapfrogged above popstar HRVY with a tango to Miley Cyrus' Midnight Sky which received a score of 25/30 from the judges.

When the scores from weeks 1 and 2 were combined, Maisie and HRVY both finished on 49 out of 60 but fans think she has the edge and is already a sure fire champion.

Taking to Twitter, one posted: "if maisie doesn’t win strictly omg how could she not" and another commented: "Maisie is starting to be a front runner to win only after two performances."

A third reacted: "If Maisie Smith doesn’t win strictly I quit," but some fans of the show have hit out at Maisie for having dance experience and referring to that.

Another viewer tweeted: "We like to see a bit of a journey on #Strictly - being PERFECT like Maisie was from week 1 is WEIRD!! If she wins it'll be soooooo boring" and, echoing those sentiments, another wrote: "Maisie was good but I hope someone with no or very little dance experience and consistently improves each week."
