Mamma Mia: I Have A Dream viewers have been incredibly impressed by this contestant on tonight's show, saying she could well be the Sophie they've been waiting for. 

Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream returned to our screens tonight (Saturday 29th October) on ITV for the second episode of its first series.

The contestants were surprised during the show with a video message from Amanda Seyfried, the actress who played Sophie in the Mamma Mia! films - the role that they're all battling to win. 

After tonight's performance, viewers of the ITV show are all saying the same thing about one contestant in particular. While the standards have been high, one Sophie hopeful has earned much praise on social media.

'Maisie is my Sophie. For someone with no experience, she is phenomenal,' wrote one fan. 

While another wrote, 'Maisie's performance was absolutely phenomenal #MammaMiaDream, I know it's only the second episode but she is Sophie for me.'

And another said, 'Maisie would be a beautiful Sophie. Literally nothing else to say.'

While another fan wrote, 'Maisie would be a fab Sophie! I Dreamed A Dream isn’t an easy song!!'

And another wrote, 'Maisie is also Sophie vibes. She was one of the best in the acting workshop IMO & her voice is stunning.'

While another said, praising Sophie's song choice, 'That's brave of Maisie to sing I Dreamed A Dream in front of Samantha Barks. She sounded so beautiful though and smashed it!'

Maisie Waller herself has had an exciting week this week, taking to Twitter (formerly X) to share photographs of herself and some of the other contestants making an appearance on This Morning earlier this week.

She shared a caption alongside the photos, which read, 'I had the best day on @thismorning talking all things Mamma Mia! What a dream.'

Mamma Mia: I Have a Dream continues on Sunday, November 5th at 6 pm on ITV1.
