EastEnders star Molly Rainford has admitted that she won’t be supporting her co-star Bobby Brazier because she’s “team Gu” forever.
During Wednesday’s visit to the ITV studios, Lorraine Kelly welcomed viewers back to the signature pink sofa where she discussed some of the biggest stories hitting the headlines.
One of the main topics she discussed was her response to Russell Brand’s allegations as well as the excitement surrounding the launch of the series of Strictly Come Dancing this weekend.

Changing the topic to Strictly, the mum-of-one couldn’t help but ask the actor if she would be supporting her co-star.She began: “Now, look, obviously you work with Bobby Brazier on EastEnders, of course you do, and he’s in Strictly – but your heart is in another place.”
Molly confessed: “It is and of course I’ve got to support my cast mates but I’m team Gu forever. I am.” Lorraine chimed in with: “Well of course you are, because you danced with him [for so long]” to which she added: “I kind of feel like his partner is my partner.”
The presenter pressed: “Is it going to be weird seeing him dance with someone else?” to which Molly confessed: “It is but I’m so excited actually, I can’t wait to see what they do together. Just look at them they’re so lovely!”

She revealed to The Mirror that she had been squeezing in private lessons for the 20-year-old in an effort to give him an edge in the competition .She told the publication: “I had no idea Bobby was going for Strictly but when I found out, straight away I was showing him the frame.
“I joked to him, ‘How about we practice together and then you say I taught you everything you know’. “So that’s what’s happening – though of course his pro partner may say different.
