Maisie Smith to attempt salsa after surviving Strictly dance-off

PA

EastEnders actress Maisie Smith and her professional partner Gorka Marquez will salsa to Better When I’m Dancing by Meghan Trainor when they return to the Strictly dancefloor after dodging elimination last week.

The couple were saved after the judges opted to send home The Wanted’s Max George and his partner Dianne Buswell during the dance-off.

Meanwhile Good Morning Britain’s Ranvir Singh and Giovanni Pernice will attempt an Argentine Tango to When Doves Cry by Prince.
