EASTENDERS' Maisie Smith performed a sassy TikTok dance with her lookalike mum - and had her followers in stitches with a hilarious outtakes video.

The actress, 18, had no trouble learning the energetic routine to Britney Spears's Toxic, but her mum Julia found it a bit more challenging.

Maisie wrote: "Thought I’d share behind the scenes 😅 this was the only way @js.management could remember the choreo 🤣 X.X.X"

In the finished version, the glam pair shimmed side by side before throwing shapes with their arms and, in Maisie's case, expressive faces.

But in a rehearsal, dressed down Julia relied on Maisie counting the beat and talking her through.

One follower wrote: "😂😂😂 “Killed it girl”.

Another shared: "The facial expressions get me lol."

A third posted: "It was the snap 😂😂 😍😍."

Earlier this month Maisie left fans shocked after they mistook her mum for her sister.

The Tiffany Butcher actress shared a series of pictures on Instagram as the mother-daughter pair posed for her 570,000 followers.

Maisie and her red-head mum Julia smiled side-by-side, as she captioned the clip: "We found good lighting and had a photo shoot."

However, fans were struck by how alike they looked - with some even suggesting they could be sisters.

One fan wrote: "Stunning!!!! You look like sisters!" and another added: "Sisters?"

Two other fans said: "Twins" and "Like Twins".

Maisie does have a sister - older sibling Scarlett.

The BBC soap star has been keeping her fans updated with her life as she lives in her parents' home in Westcliff, Essex. 

She often ropes her mum into dancing videos to keep her followers entertained.

The young actress opened up about wanting to stay in EastEnders for as long as June Brown, who has played Dot Cotton for more than 30 years.

Also, she has her heart set on landing the soap’s most iconic role, landlord of the Queen Vic pub.

She believes she shares the characteristics of two of the pub’s stalwarts — Barbara Windsor’s Peggy Mitchell and battleaxe Shirley ­Carter, played by Linda Henry.

Speaking to The Sun in April, Maisie said: “There would be a lot of pressure. All of the landlords are such iconic characters on the show and I’d have to live up to the hype.

“But I would love to give it a go and I think I’d do a good job. It’s a big aim for me. I’ve got the sass of Peggy and the roughness of Shirley. I’d be perfect.”

Maisie joined the show when she was just six years old as Tiffany Butcher, the on-screen daughter of Bianca ­Jackson and Ricky Butcher, played by Patsy Palmer and Sid Owen.
