What happened on Strictly last week?
Maisie and pro dance partner Gorka Márquez have wowed judges and the audience alike with their energetic performances.
Last week, she and Gorka danced the Cha Cha Cha to Girls Just Want To Have Fun.
But even though the couple scored a combined 24 points, viewers voted her into the bottom two.

However, some viewers couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
“Can’t believe Maisie is in the bottom two!” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“I’m not Maisie’s biggest fan personally but no way do her and Gorka deserve to be in the dance-off!” another said.
Sizzling salsa time
This week, Maisie and Gorka are dancing the salsa to Better When I’m Dancing by Meghan Trainor.
