BBC Strictly's Maisie Smith claps back after being slammed for complaining about walk with heavy Christmas shopping

Maisie Smith has hit back after coming under fire for a moaning TikTok video. The former EastEnders actress took to the video-sharing platform with a video of herself in her temporary digs as she tours the country in Strictly Ballroom the Musical.

But in a break from being on stage Maisie, who competed in Strictly 2020 alongside now-boyfriend Max George, decided to head out into the city centre to do some shopping.
