EastEnders favourite Maisie Smith reportedly spent the night at the home of co-star Zack Morris.

The Sun claims Brooke, 21, told a friend: “There were three of us in that relationship.”
ED! has contacted representatives for Zack Morris and Maisie Smith for comment.

The source also indicated Maisie “ignored” Brooke during social events, even though Zack’s character Keegan Baker had a storyline romance with Tiffany.
The friend continued: “Maisie was always there in the background. And of course when everyone was talking about Maisie and Zack’s on-screen relationship it wasn’t nice for Brooke.”
‘Considerate’ Zack
The source also claimed Zack gave Brooke a heads up that his character would be the focus of a teenage romance plot.
Keegan and Tiffany eventually eloped from Albert Square to marry.
According to The Sun, Brooke appreciated the warning. But she also understood she may not enjoy seeing her boyfriend snogging on TV, even though it was his job.
Maisie and I have only ever been just good mates, nothing more.
“He was always so considerate about her feelings,” the friend continued.
The friend also noted that ‘all Brooke wants’ is for her ex to be happy.
