Maisie may have been stealing the show every Saturday night on Strictly and wowing both us and the judges with her routines and incredible outfits, but it seems that she too suffers from a lack of body confidence just like us mere mortals.
Maisie shared a series of photos of herself getting papped in a pair of short green cycling shorts to Instagram with the caption, "Here lies a collection of photos taken at the exact same time, however, from different angles, under different lighting.
"The past few years I’ve been VERY insecure about my legs. I covered them up as much possible. No matter how many people told me 'cellulite is natural.. everyone has it..' I still hated them.”
She continued, “It’s taken me a while but I’m starting to accept these aspects of myself that I’ve always seen as 'flaws'.
“I wore gym shorts (out of the house) for the FIRST time a couple of months ago n I was so so proud of myself 💘. I wish I could I say that I LOVE my body but I’m still working on that 😅"

Maisie went on to add, "The reason I posted this was because I understand that it’s SO hard to love yourself and see your 'flaws' as 'qualities'. We ALL have things we want to change about ourselves.
"But I hope this can help other people feel more confident about their own insecurities. BECAUSE YOU ARE FRIGGING BEAUTIFUL. And because self love is the best love 💗".
We couldn’t agree more Maisie, and it seems that her followers think so too.
Maisie’s Strictly co-star, Clara Amfo commented, “🗣TELL THEM” whilst a fan said, “Yes girl give me your legs any day of the week!! Stunner”.
We think Maisie looks fab.
