Maisie Smith to make TV comeback alongside Alison Hammond

OHMYGOSSIP — Maisie Smith is to make her TV comeback alongside Alison Hammond.
The 20-year-old actress – who played the role of Tiffany Butcher on BBC soap opera ‘EastEnders’ from 2008 until 2021 and also had a star turn on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ back in 2020 – is reportedly set to return to screens alongside Alison Hammond in a reboot of classic game show ‘Friends Like These.’
A source told The Sun Online: “Maisie has just filmed a pilot episode and it’s unclear if it’ll air but it’s a great sign she’s landing these kind of shows after Strictly and EastEnders.”
The show – which teams of best friends compete over a series of challenges for the chance to win a holiday – is thought to be presented by ‘This Morning’ stars Alison Hammond,47, and Dermot O’Leary, 48, and will follow the format of the show originally presented by Ant and Dec with Maisie expected to captain a team on the show.
The insider added: “Everyone thought Maisie was really great on the show – she’s so naturally funny – so it’ll be the first of many new jobs.”
The star – who recently replaced AJ Odudu on the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ tour – was last seen on ‘EastEnders’ at the end of December 2021, when Tiffany swapped Albert Square for Germany but made a recent return to the show to film a cameo appearance, which she teased will tie up a few loose ends.
Speaking on ‘Morning Live’, she told Kym Marsh: “I feel like no matter what I say I’m going to get in trouble. But what I can say is that I’m hoping that a few unresolved storylines will finally be answered.”
