The 15-year-old star grew up playing Tiffany Butcher on the BBC soap, but she's since branched into music - and looks unrecognisable
EASTENDERS actress Maisie Smith shocked Loose Women fans today with her dramatic transformation, after leaving the BBC soap behind to pursue a career in music.
The 15-year-old star released her new music video just days ago, appearing almost unrecognisable in the clip.
And now she's appeared on ITV daytime show Loose Women to reveal the full extent of her grown up appearance.
Arriving on set in a blue lace outfit, with her longer hair loose and styled, she looked a world away from the cute frizzy-haired character she played on EastEnders' Albert Square.
Speaking about the response she's received recently, Maisie told the panel: "I don’t realise I’ve changed, so I wasn’t expecting it.
Adding of how she made it on to EastEnders at such a young age, she added: "I’ve been acting since I was four, and I had an agent then to see if I liked it. They got this audition for me."
Responding to the appearance today, one fan wrote: "Wow Tiffany has matured into a beautiful young lady. Time has flown fast. All the best to her."
While another added: "Tiff off Eastenders on Loose Women, so mad how different she looks."
Meanwhile one viewer wrote: "She is stunning."
And one added: "Ur just beautiful and how fab for you to meet @martineofficial."
While one wrote: "Aw how cute was Tiffany."
The track features lyrics about a romantic relationship, including: “I know what we got is worth fighting for/This love we found is what I’m looking for/We got a good thing/We got a good thing going, baby.”
In a press release Maisie said: “I've always wanted to make a cool pop record that people could relate to, dance to and feel good listening to.
"By teaming up with my producer Darren Martyn to make Good Thing, I feel like we achieved that. I am so excited to finally let people hear it!”
Maisie, who lives with her family in Leigh on Sea, Essex, where she's studying for her GCSEs.
As well as singing she composes music, plays guitar, dances and choreographs her own routines.
She started acting at the age of four, starring alongside Scarlett Johannsson in The Other Boleyn Girl, and first appeared on EastEnders when she was six.
The following year she won the British Soap Award for best dramatic performance from a young actor.
She left the soap in 2014, when Tiffany's mum moved away with her new boyfriend, taking Tiffany with her, but surprised fans when she reappeared on last night's episode.
