Strictly's HRVY says he's an Instagram hit with older fans amid Maisie Smith rumours

Strictly favourite HRVY reckons he’s got older women feeling HRNY.

The 21-year-old YouTube star and ex-CBBC host revealed his Instagram inbox is full of messages from cougars.

And he says even gal pals of his GRAN go giddy at his dancing.

But singer HRVY – Harvey Cantwell – only has eyes for Strictly rival Maisie Smith, 19.

Amid rumours of a romance, he has promised to take the EastEnder on a date when Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.

“But it’s been the older generation in my DMs (direct messages),” he says.

“I’ve had a few mums saying they think I’m attractive after last week’s tango.

"Also, my nan’s friends are all saying I’m a handsome young man.”

Meanwhile, he’s been giving Maisie support after her two dance-off weeks with pro partner Gorka Marquez.

“It hit her hard but she’s amazing and will come back fighting,” he says.

And HRVY’s show partner Janette Manrara, 37, backs the pair to get together.

She said: “It’s sweet to see them ­talking in the studio.

"They are really cute.”
