Strictly’s HRVY says he ‘loves’ Maisie Smith after she leaves flirty comment on his pants snap

STRICTLY'S HRVY said he "loves" Maisie Smith and she "looks incredible" just a day after she left a flirty comment on a pic of him in his pants.

The cheeky singer, 21, has made no bones about being up for romance on the show, but accepts the coronavirus pandemic means he's likely to have to wait a while.

Speaking to the about his co-star, he said: “I love Maisie, she’s a great girl and has got great banter. When I saw her in her blue dress last week, she looked incredible. I can’t wait to see her grow and look amazing every week.”

Strictly has put in place rules to keep cast and crew safe from the virus, and as a result this year's stars can't mingle.

HRVY, real name Harvey Leigh Cantwell, said: “I’ve spoken to Maisie at the studios, but the thing is legally I’m not even allowed to go near her.

“So for now we are great friends, and she’s lovely. I am going to focus on the dancing, and all that stuff can come second, but who knows what will happen after the show!”

The EastEnders actress, 19, was all over the comment section of HRVY's latest photo set.

The YouTube sensation was snapped in his Calvin Kleins for modelling photos from his 2021 calendar.

The first photo showed him looking at the camera with his T-shirt in his hands, with the next showing him stretching out as he put it back on.

He laughed in the next as he put his socks on, and the final shot saw him shirtless again.

HRVY captioned the images: "fun fact: the window blinds were open and a whole office floor in another building stood and clapped as I got undressed (2021 calendar out now)."

Maisie immediately slid into the comment section, writing: ";I think they were clapping coz they mistook u for 2009 JB. [Justin Bieber]"

He replied: "@maisiesmithofficial #onelesslonleygirl" in reference to one of Justin's songs.

She then threw in another jibe, adding: "The Rock been real quiet since u posted this ..😶"

Then the Tiffany Butcher actress went in for one final shot, saying: "Omg you just reminded me my spaghetti's almost done!"

HRVY then hit back: "@maisiesmithofficial stop flirting, you love spaghetti"

But the star wasn't having it with her response: "@hrvy prefer farfelle tbh."
