EastEnders and Strictly star Molly Rainford gushes about romance with Tyler West
EastEnders star Molly Rainford has spoken again about her blossoming romance with radio DJ Tyler West.
The 22-year-old actress fell for the 27-year-old Kiss FM radio star after they both featured on season 20 of Strictly Come Dancing last year.
During her time on the show, Molly was paired with dance professional Carlos Gu and made it all the way to the final - losing out to Hamza Yassin and his dance partner Jowita Przystał.
While Tyler was paired with Aussie dancer Dianne Buswell and bowed out halfway through the contest - but both he and Molly were on the subsequent Strictly live tour earlier this year.

Opening up to Fabulous magazine about her new romance, Molly said: “I suppose it developed towards the end of the tour because we’d spent so much time together and we were really good friends.
"The tour was so much fun. We were just doing everything together and it just progressed from there really.”
She went on to explain that Tyler ultimately made the first move and asked her to go out with him on a date once the tour was over.

"Everyone on Strictly was so excited for us. They kind of wanted it to happen [all the way through the show] and we were like: ‘No, we are trying to be professional’.”
She added that they even continue to practice their dance moves together, saying: “We dance all the time… Maybe one night, we will try some lifts, but first we need to put loads of mattresses down!”

Speaking to the Mirror previously, Molly said: “I’ve never dated anyone in the public eye before.
