Strictly's Molly Rainford and Tyler West 'confirm romance' as they hold hands in hotel

Strictly Come Dancing stars Molly Rainford and Tyler West have appeared to have confirmed their relationship as they were spotted holding hands in Belfast, Ireland.

Molly and Tyler first sparked romance rumours late last year when they took part in the BBC One competition, and almost three months on, it seems the pair have made it official.

The pair are currently travelling the UK and Ireland on the Strictly Come Dancing live tour, and were spotted enjoying a stroll before heading back to their hotel in Belfast.

In pictures, Molly and Tyler held hands while engaging in conversation.

The rumoured couple are believed to have been out partying with their Strictly co-stars earlier in the evening.

Lifting the lid on their relationship when discussing the pictures obtained by The Sun, a source said: "Molly and Tyler couldn’t keep their hands off each other all evening.

"Their relationship has reached new levels since the show - as this very public display of affection clearly indicates. Everyone can see how well they get on and those close to them can see things continuing to blossom in the future," they told the Sun.

It comes as Molly and Tyler are rumoured to be on the cusp of ending mounting speculation about the nature of their friendship as they are expected to declare their love for each other.

The pair both battled to win the glitter ball trophy during the 2022 series of Strictly - which was ultimately won by presenter Hamza Yaasin and his dance partner Jowita Przystał.

Kiss FM presenter Tyler, 26, was paired with Dianne Buswell on the show but they crashed out to be placed seventh in the contest.

However 22-year-old Molly and Gorka Márquez made it all the way to the final to end up in runner up positions.

But Tyler and Molly are said to have the hots for each other with reports claiming that Tyler has consulted dance professionals Kai Widdrington and Neil Jones for advice on how to make their romance official.

An eavesdropping source told the publication: “He Tyler said to them, ‘Do you ship me and Molly? I’m going to ask her the question.’

“One of them replied, ‘Yeah we ship you and Molly.’ He had a big grin on his face and seemed very happy.

“Molly was with them on the night out after one of their shows in Newcastle.”
