Strictly star Maisie Smith grabs two glasses of wine as stars head to Leeds
They’re only four dates into the Strictly Come Dancing arena tour, but the stars are already enjoying life along the way.
The celeb dancers and their professional partners were spotted in Leeds early Monday after enjoying a boozy bus ride from their first tour stop in Birmingham.
EastEnders star Maisie Smith had made the most of the two-hour journey when she entered the hotel in Leeds with two glasses of wine in her hand.

Maisie, 20, was in high spirits as she carefully juggled the plastic glasses, a Tesco tote and her luggage.
Dressing for comfort, she swapped her glitzy touring outfits for joggers and a hoodie.
Tilly Ramsay, 20, meanwhile, couldn’t stop laughing as she drove her bags into the hotel. She wore an oversized sports shirt as she struggled to get her multiple suitcases and bags through the door.
Judges Craig Revel Horwood, 57, and Bruno Tonioli, 66, chose to travel separately from the rowdy tour stars, arriving 30 minutes before the bus in their chauffeured car.
