Strictly's Maisie Smith 'could have eye-watering payday if she quits EastEnders'

Maisie Smith could earn mega cash if she quits her acting job on EastEnders, according to reports.

It's believed the eye-watering sum could make her a millionaire within two years of quitting the soap.

The Strictly Come Dancing finalist, 19, narrowly missed out on the Glitter Ball trophy while Bill Bailey won first place.

Yet it seems the soap star could be on her way to even bigger stardom if she leaves behind Albert Square.

Many deals stacked up for the star following the Strictly finale.

However, she cannot accept lucrative brand deals while working on the set of EastEnders.

A pal told The Sun : "Her success on Strictly has shown her another world and she's a hugely ambitious young woman.

“She’s happy on EastEnders but is aware of the lucrative offers, including a £50,000 offer from a make-up brand.

“Maisie could be a millionaire in two years if she walked away from EastEnders.”

It's believed she earns a five figure sum for EastEnders, the newspaper reported.

The soap star returned to Albert Square temporarily in 2016 before making her full-time comeback in 2018.

Maisie was delighted to be reunited with her dog after starring on the dancing competition.

To take part, she had to leave her parents' home and live alone to join the Strictly Come Dancing bubble.

Changes were made to ensure the show could go ahead amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Mirror has reached out to Maisie Smith's representative for further comment.
