'EastEnders' star Scott Maslen is struggling to cope with his tough 'Strictly Come Dancing' schedule, according to his dance partner Natalie Lowe.
Speaking on 'It Takes Two', Lowe said: "He has got extremely long hours and in 'EastEnders' he has got some really full-on storylines."
"With me, he is rehearsing late and this evening we were rehearsing, but I had to tell him to go home and get some sleep."
"He's pretty much coming in to me like a blank canvass. But he's giving it his all."
"He came in to me today, we got a two-hour gap, he said that he wasn't sure he could do it, but he got up and gave me two amazing hours of American Smooth. So it's not for the want of trying."
"We work at night time and we don't have the days. But that's the name of the game. And dancing in a shoebox is better than nothing at all."
