    EASTENDERS star Maisie Smith ruffled feathers after pretending to be pregnant for a cruel April Fools Day Instagram prank.  

    Taking to her social media, the 21-year-old posed for a mirror snap with beau Max George as she clutched her swollen belly. 

    She later revealed it was all a prank and that she had just eaten a "five-course meal".

    "While I have no desire to defend these two young fools, it should also be possible to josh around a bit once in a while, right? 

    "What really got my goat was the fact that, once again, this publicity-hungry couple did it all for attention.

    "This was all about creating a stir, getting noticed and making sure they kept their names in the news. 

    "And, naturally, they got what they wanted. It's just that in my life, they're very much The Unwanted."
