However, as the pair grilled her about her time on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins back in 2022, Maisie found herself overcome with emotion as she watched back clips of the harrowing challenges.
But it seems three years on the memories are still fresh in the star's mind, and while she said it was 'the best thing she's ever done' she said: 'It was worse than you could even imagine. When I watched it back, there's so much more that they didn't even show.
'When we had mic packs, when they'd change the packs, you weren't allowed to talk. It was severe. There was never 'cut, cast can chill for a bit.'
'It was intense. Brutal.'
Maisie eventually won the show when she participated in the endurance challenge – joining Calum Best, Ferne McCanne and AJ Pritchard to pass the test.
Though she noted that her experience, which was set in the deserts of Jordan, took a toll on her physically and mentally, before bursting into tears.
As Simon and Tim awkwardly rallied around her, she said: 'I was so young. I was 19, and it was such a big challenge. I'm proud of myself.'
The latest series of Celebrity SAS is currently airing, and after just two episodes, four of the cast have already quit.
S Club 7's Hannah Spearritt was first to go, followed by Louie Spence, and then Love Island stars Tasha Ghouri and Chloe Burrows quit within minutes of each other during a trek up a hill.
Tasha has since refused to even acknowledge her time on the show, and said at the time of her exit she 'wasn't there mentally' to do it.
Who Dares Wins in chaos as two more stars quit within A MINUTE of each other
The series is set to continue tonight with more stars expected to bite the dust and voluntarily withdraw.
10 still remain in the game, which is set to get even more brutal as the annual boxing challenge takes place.
Those still in the running include drag artist Bimini, Rebecca Loos, Love Island's Adam Collard and The Traitors winner Harry Clark.

EastEnders Avani in heartbreaking baby twist
It comes as fans have been left raging over the controversial baby storyline EASTENDERS Avani's baby storyline takes a heartbreaking twist, leaving Sukii devastated. Over the last few weeks, viewers have watched Suki (Balvinder Sopal) try to manipulate teenage Avani (Aaliyah James) into having her baby – just so she can raise it herself. Advertisement 4 Avani's pregnancy storyline has come to a heartbreaking end for the teen Credit: BBC 4 Eve goes behind wife Suki's back in the latest episode Credit: BBC 4 Avani reveals her heartbreaking news to Suki Credit: BBC 4 Suki is left devastated by the events of the latest episode Credit: BBC Eve (Heather Peace) was left gobsmacked after discovering Suki's shocking plan to adopt Avani's baby. Furious, she lashed out, accusing her of manipulating the teen and calling her some pretty harsh words. But in a bizarre U-turn later that same night, after Avani had a heart-to-heart with Eve, she somehow managed to talk her round. However, things have no come to a head in the latest episode of EastEnders, which has already dropped on the iPlayer. Advertisement Those tuning in tonight will see Suki became suspicious of Avani and Eve when they make an excuse to go off together, unaware they are going to an abortion clinic. Worried about lying to her wife, Eve says: "I think we should tell Suki, I don't think I can keep something this big from her because we've promised to be honest with each other." After terminating her pregnancy the tearful teen tells Eve she wants to find her mum Priya and tell her the truth. "I just really want my mum. I want to tell her everything," she cries. Advertisement The pair head home and Suki soon arrives back to, and she receives the news that Avani has had a termination. Confirming the news, she says: "There is no baby." EastEnders fans SWITCH OFF slamming 'worst episode' as backlash grows to controversial pregnancy storyline Suki then turns to Eve who says she is "sorry". Meanwhile, the controversial storyline has received a huge public backlash. Advertisement Last week fans were left fuming, with many slamming the plot as "abysmal" and asking, "What the hell did I just watch?" Viewers have slammed the storyline as 'unrealistic' and 'garbage', with some even vowing to ditch the soap for good. Most complained about soap storylines Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous... EastEnders baby theft: 13,400 Ofcom complaints - Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap's long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners - with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it 'distressing' and 'horrific' but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not "unduly disturbing'. Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints - Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom - but viewers didn't like it one bit. The nation's pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don't mess with animal-lovers. Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints - Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford - and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the 'violent scenes'. Taking to an online forum, one fan wrote: "Avani seems to have had a personality transplant. Does she not remember her step-grandmother has already raised 4 children? This is not her chance." Another said: "The Suki storyline being positioned as some sort of heart-warming tale of motherhood and not the coercion and abuse story that it actually is so inappropriate." Advertisement To make matters worse, the same episode saw Patrick (Rudolph Walker) suddenly spiral into a gambling problem, despite two decades of betting without a hitch. Viewers were left scratching their heads and branding the writing "tedious" and "a challenge to watch." One said: "I hate how Patrick has gambled for 20+ years and now all of a sudden it's a problem." Another added: "Patrick has gambled since the first day Yolande met him. Now it is a contrived part of the plot for her to call off the wedding. Advertisement "None of the stories make sense and it is a challenge to watch." EastEnders is available to watch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
