In the past few months, EastEnders starlet Molly Rainford has been finding happiness and expressing affection for her partner, radio DJ Tyler West.
The flourishing love story between Molly and Tyler commenced following their encounter on the 20th series of Strictly Come Dancing last year.
Throughout her participation on the BBC One program, the 22-year-old actress was matched with dancer Carlos Gu, and they successfully progressed to the final.

However, the dancing partners were ultimately surpassed by wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin and his dance partner Jowita Przystal.
Meanwhile, Tyler was coupled with Aussie pro dancer, Dianne Buswell, and exited the competition midway.
Yet, Molly and Tyler reconnected during this year’s Strictly live tour.
While Strictly is often associated with a “curse” detrimental to relationships, occasionally it leads to love connections – as it did for the lovebirds.
As the Strictly tour drew to a close and the couple spent considerable time together, it led to their connection deepening, according to Molly.
In an interview with Fabulous Magazine discussing her fresh romance, Molly mentioned: “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.”
The London native further elaborated that it was Tyler who took the initiative, inviting her for a date once the tour came to an end.
Molly said: “He was like, ‘Do you think when we get back, we could go on a date?’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, alright!’ I was totally up for it.

“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’.”
Molly, who was also a finalist on Britain’s Got Talent in 2012, mentioned that they even persist today in practising their dance routines together.
“We dance all the time… Maybe one night, we will try some lifts, but first we need to put loads of mattresses down!” the telly star said.
