Maisie Smith sent temperatures soaring in a tiny red bikini on Tuesday as she celebrated her 23rd birthday with a sun-soaked getaway. 

The former EastEnders star, 23, looked incredible as she showed off her washboard abs in the stylish two-piece. 

The beauty looked worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the UK as she lounged on a sunbed and showed off her enviable figure. 

Maisie further accessorised the look with some gold-toned hoop earrings and embraced her natural beauty as she sat poolside. 

Taking to her Instagram stories, Maisie also reposted a sweet snap of herself which her mum had posted to her management page.

The actress could be seen beaming at the camera as she sipped on a fruity cocktail on a sunny summer day. 

Julia captioned the snap with: 'Happy birthday to ya'. 

It comes after Maisie and her boyfriend Max George, 35, ruled out working together again after a 'ropey' audition for a major stage show. 

The pair will play a married couple in Jeff Wayne's musical version of The War Of The Worlds, which will tour in 2025.  

The duo auditioned together as a couple, with Max joking during a Good Morning Britain interview: 'First time we've ever done that... probably the last! It was a bit ropey in parts, but in the end, we got there.'

'We're buzzing! We can't wait it's going to be so good!' He added: 'Honestly, we're so buzzing for it!' 

The musical will be coming to 17 major UK arenas next March, and not-so-coincidentally celebrating 130 years since the release of the original HG Wells novel.

The War of The Worlds team announced on social media: 'We are so thrilled to announce our first two cast members performing on The Spirit of Man Tour, 2025…

'For the first time in Martian history, a real-life couple will be performing as the married pair: The Wanted's @maxgeorge as Parson Nathaniel and @maisiesmithofficial as Beth.'

Jeff then said: 'Being a couple in real life will add to their on-stage charisma and chemistry. Maisie has such a melodic but powerful voice, which compliments Max's dramatic and soulful vocals wonderfully.'

Max and Maisie's relationship was confirmed in September 2022.

Max appeared on the 2020 series of Strictly Come Dancing, finishing ninth alongside partner Dianne Buswell, 35, before competing in the 2022 ITV series The Games and Channel 4's Scared of the Dark.

The year after he performed on Strictly, Max was invited on the dance show's nationwide tour which was when he struck up a romance with co-star Maisie.

In 2022, he was forced to defend their 13 age-gap, telling Hello!: 'It never enters my mind. Maisie has already done so many things that I'm in awe of – I look up to her.'
