Maisie Smith braved the cold in a skimpy black thong bikini as she took to the waters for some wild swimming with famous pals.

The former EastEnders actress took a break from the Strictly Come Dancing tour, which has reached Sheffield, as she joined the stars jumping into a local river.

Maisie, 20, was snapped standing on some rocks beside the water in a black bikini that showed off her incredible figure.

She was joined by Rose Ayling-Ellis, Nikita Kuzmin, Neil Jones, Tilly Ramsay and Sara Davies in the water.

The group swim was arranged by Gogglebox's Rev Kate who invited them to take a dip in the lake in her hometown.

"Cheeky Sheffield river dunk," Maisie wrote on her story on Instagram.

Maisie was sensible and kept her shoes on as she launched herself from the rock, showing off her pert bottom.

Speaking of their water adventures, Nikita wrote: "Chapter 2 baby lovely freezing morning in Sheffield with the best crew!

"Enjoyed this one even more since I haven’t lost completely feeling in my toes lol".

Tilly, 20, also took a dip in the cold water as she wore a large black t-shirt and swimming shoes.

Sara also shared a slew of snaps on her Instagram and wrote: "So we had another wild swimming outing today! @revkatebottley saw id taken the gang last week and messaged to say she’d love to host us while we were in Sheffield so we’ve had a great morning!

"We even talked @rose.a.e and @maisiesmithofficial into joining us this time! And the screams from @tillyramsay and @nikita__kuzmin were just hilarious!

"We’re totally starting a strictly wild swimming club now!"

Maisie, who plays Tiffany Butcher, has been open about her battles to love her body in the past.

She said that the dancing competition helped her to find body confidence.

"Strictly was a game-changer for me," she told The Sun.

"I've always hated my legs and my cellulite. When I was at school, I was the only one who had it. When I went to parties I wouldn't get my legs out. I would wear trousers all summer.

"It wasn't until I did Strictly last year and they literally said, 'You have got to wear a leotard.' I was shoved in the deep end and it helped me, because I completely faced my fears straight on."

She was paired with Gorka Marquez and made it all the way to the final of the competition but lost out to Bill Bailey.

She stepped onto the show's tour this year to replace AJ Odudu, who had to drop out due to an ankle injury.
