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.

Celebrity SAS star Harry Clark breaks silence on axe after shock 'boozy brawl'
Traitors star Harry Clark has addressed his shock exit from Celebrity SAS despite his army past following reports he was involved in a boozy brawl at this year's Brit Awards Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins contestant Harry Clark has broken his silence after he was kicked off the hit Channel 4 show. Despite serving in the army, the Traitors star was given the boot for cheating. He has admitted he "hated" his time on the tough programme that sees stars put through their paces by ex-army officials. They must carry out a replica of the Special Air Services screening process, which aims to push their mental, emotional and physical strength to the limits. However, Harry, 24, was caught out by directing staff Billy Billingham and Jason Fox as he performed only 10 burpee exercises rather than the required 20. It comes after Channel 4 breaks silence after Gogglebox couple suddenly dumped from show. Harry made matters worse by lying about how many he had done. He was meant to complete the set before pulling a switch. The TV star's exit from the programme comes following reports Harry had a bust up at the Brit Awards earlier this year with a TikTok star. According to reports, the reality TV star had a 'drunken scuffle' with social media star Moe Osman at the awards ceremony in March. Speaking for the first time since his SAS axe and the brawl reports, Harry shared how he wanted to show viewers that he's changed. Addressing his cheating, he said: "Obviously I was so disheartened and so annoyed, but at the same time in the back of my head I was like, 'but it's all right though because I've made that switch, I'm here to stay'. 'I did exactly what I would do in the military. And that's what annoyed me so much because it was like I just hit that switch, but they'd kicked me off for it. 'So it was like, well then how can I prove to you now that I've changed?" Harry added to the Sun: 'But then at the same time, when I look back on it and I've matured a lot now, they've probably done me a favour because I know that the next big stage was the interrogation phase.' Harry admitted he "hated" taking part in the show and thought they "didn't like" him. He confessed it made him angry at the team and himself as he "wanted to get batter". This week, sources have claimed the alleged incident saw Harry retaliate after being "antagonised" by influencer Moe. A source told The Sun that Moe, who is known as Hellacreps online, and Harry clashed at the Brits. They said: "Harry is clearly really enjoying being able to attend amazing events like the Brits but at the event he and Moe clashed. It got physical. It was a drunken scuffle. There is never a fight at that sort of thing so everyone was really shocked.'

Love Island's Liberty Poole 'SPLITS from DJ boyfriend after her friends warned he was using her for fame'
Love Island star Liberty Poole has reportedly split from boyfriend Joshua Raybould after a year of dating. The pair, who went official with their romance last August, have decided to go their separate ways after failing to see eye to eye on a few things. Liberty and Joshua split a few weeks ago due to 'not being a compatible match long-term' and reports that he was 'using her for fame'. A source told The Sun: 'Liberty and Joshua made the tough decision to end their relationship. They had an amazing year together, especially in the early stages when they were attached at the hip and going on holidays. 'They loved getting to know each other, despite concerns from her friends that he was using her for fame. 'But once the honeymoon period was over, it was clear that they weren't a compatible match long-term. Liberty is focusing on her new business and only wants people around her that are truly supportive. 'It was fun while it lasted, but they both have different priorities and they couldn't make it work.' Daily Mail have contacted Liberty and Joshua's representative for comment. Since breaking up, Liberty and Joshua have unfollowed each other on social media and Joshua has wiped his Instagram of all the pictures of the couple together. Liberty has been busy promoting her new swimwear range Uplifted The Label while Joshua has been continuing to post snap of him on nights out and DJing. Earlier this year, Liberty showcased her enviable curves as she posed in a hot pink bikini to make an inspiring body positive message. The Love Island alum took to her Instagram to share a sizzling video of her heading to a swimming pool in a bold two-piece that displayed her incredible figure. Despite looking as radiant as ever, she candidly shared her innermost insecurities in the clip, writing over the top about how she felt that her body wasn't 'summer ready' and didn't 'fit the beauty standards'. Liberty took the opportunity to then share a powerful message about self-love, as she insisted that 'all bodies are swimsuit bodies' and urged her followers to 'love the skin you're in'. The start of the video was captioned: 'Negative Thoughts: Everyone is judging how I look right now. My body isn't summer ready. 'I can't wear a swimsuit until I lose weight. I need to hide my cellulite and rolls because they don't fit the beauty standards.' But proudly smiling at the camera and relaxing in the sunshine, she then changed the writing on the clip to read: 'Reality: All bodies are swimsuit bodies confidence is the best thing you can wear. 'Stretch marks and cellulite are normal and don't make you less worthy. No one is paying as much attention to your body as you think live your life for you. You deserve to feel the sun on your skin just as you are.' In the caption, the reality star added: 'Reminder that your different body types are all going to look beautiful in your bikinis this summer enjoy yourself and love the skin your in [sic]'. Liberty shot to fame on Love Island 2021, where she famously walked away from the villa following her break up with ex-boyfriend Jake Cornish. She later went on to compete in 2023's Spin Off show Love Island Games where she was once again reunited with Jake. But after his exit, she started to explore a connection with Mitch Taylor. However, she was eliminated from the island on Day 13 after failing to find anything romantic with him.

EastEnders' Phil leaves Julie shaken in outburst as they clash over Nigel
Tensions between EastEnders' Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) and Julie Bates (Karen Henthorn) reach boiling point next week as Phil drops a bombshell about Nigel Bates' (Paul Bradley). Julie was recently reunited with her estranged husband Nigel, who had walked out on their life together in a bid to hide his dementia diagnosis from her. While she had planned to take him back home to Scotland to look after him, Nigel ultimately decided he wanted to stay in Walford with his old friend Phil, who he had been living with since returning to the BBC soap after 27 years at Christmas. Ultimately, Phil invited Julie to move in with him and Nigel at No.18, but things haven't exactly been smooth sailing between the pair. After a short trip back to Scotland, Nigel and Julie arrive back on the Square with their three pet chickens next week, and Phil is soon struggling with the new dynamic in his household. As Julie gets busy organising everything and making decisions, Phil gets annoyed that she's changing Nigel's routine. He's further agitated when the chickens keep everyone awake, making his relationship with Julie even more strained. When the pair both accompany Nigel to an assessment, he gets stressed by their constant sniping, which results in an almighty clash between Phil and Julie over their different approaches to Nigel's care. But Phil then has an outburst which leaves Julie shocked to the core, and she's left demanding answers about the revelation. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
