Strictly's Maisie and Gorka dial up heat as fans are convinced she will make it to final

Maisie Smith and her professional dance partner Gorka Marquez sent pulses racing with a steamy Tango on Saturday night's Strictly Come Dancing.

The EastEnders star, 19, stunned during a saucy Tango routine with Gorka - leaving fans convinced the pair will sail through to the final.

Opting to showcase their moves to Miley Cyrus' Midnight Sky, the pair gave a dark and dangerous performance that was well suited to the Halloween vibe.

Naturally, the outstanding performance - which racked up a whopping 25 points - saw stunned fans flock to Twitter to compliment the pair on their routine.

One fan wrote: "Maisie is definitely one to watch to this year.. she's slaying every dance so far!"

A third added: "Maisie is in the final for sure! #Strictly," while a fourth chimed in: "Maisie is SHARP on that dancefloor. Money on her for the final. It's inevitable #scd."

And although the pair knocked it out the park this week, it actually wasn't their first time impressing the judges.
