Strictly stars Maisie Smith and HRVY leave studio just ONE MINUTE apart

Strictly Come Dancing competitors Maisie Smith and HRVY left the show’s Hertfordshire venue within a minute of each other on Sunday morning as they continue to spark rumours of a potential romance.

The pair were the last to leave Elstree Studios following the show’s movie week, with HRVY departing at 4:36am before being closely followed by Maisie in a separate car at 4:37am. 

After performing to Don’t Go Breaking My Heart with professional dance partner Janette Manrara, YouTuber HRVY, 21, greeted onlookers with a cheerful thumb’s up as he pulled out of the studio alone. 

Meanwhile Maisie, 19, was seen wearing colourful green slippers as she relaxed in the back seat of her own car following an accomplished dance to Frozen II track Into The Unknown with Gorka Marquez. 

With Strictly recorded live from 7:25pm on Saturday evening it was a surprisingly late hour to be leaving the studio, with professional dancer Oti Mabuse also seen departing in the early hours at 4:15am. 

Their latest appearance comes after Maisie described HRVY, with whom she has been repeatedly linked, as a ‘beautiful-looking guy’. 

When asked about a potential relationship with HRVY, Maisie told The Sun: ‘Not right now. He is a beautiful-looking guy.

‘But I have only seen him for a couple of hours a week so I am still enjoying getting to know him.

‘I don’t know what would happen in the future, but for now we are getting along really well as friends.’ 

HRVY previously hinted at a possible romance with the actress in his OK! magazine column as he told how he’s ‘a little excited to see how things blossom’. 

Addressing the hearsay about his relationship with the flame-haired beauty, HRVY said: ‘How unreal did Maisie look in her pink dress last week?! To be honest, she looks incredible every week.

‘I know there’s been a lot of speculation about whether there’s any romance between us. It’s funny because I’ve actually seen her the least out of everyone because she’s not been in any of my rehearsal spaces.’

He added: ‘But yeah, Maisie really is so lovely and beautiful. She’s a really good friend of mine and I think she’s an amazing dancer. 

‘Not a lot can really happen between us because we have to be two meters apart, but I am a little excited to see how things blossom.’ 

Sources also claim the pair have made an instant connection on the show, with an insider telling The Sun:  ‘There is chemistry between Maisie and HRVY, both single, and they exchanged texts.

‘He would love to get to know her better so he thinks it would be a laugh if they learn a TikTok dance.’
