Strictly Come Dancing’s Molly Rainford has reportedly become “inseparable” from fellow contestant Tyler West while on tour.
Singer and actress Molly, 21, who took part in last year’s series of the dancing contest, made it to the final with her professional dance partner Carlos Gu, 28, but it was Hamza Yassin who was eventually crowned champion of the show.
Kiss FM DJ Tyler, 26, danced with Dianne Buswell, 33, before leaving the contest in 11th place.
Tyler and Molly are currently taking part in the Strictly tour, and images of a crew night out in Nottingham surfaced last week, with the pair together, looking very close.
However, rumours of a romance between the two have been swirling for a while, with whispers going as far back as October last year, when they were spotted flirting with each other while backstage at an awards’ show.
A source told The Sun: “Tyler and Molly get on like a house on fire. They spend a lot of time together when not performing.
“Tyler is always hanging around waiting for Molly when she gets off the coach and they are often seen heading off together away from the group.
“They are very comfortable which other and it hasn’t gone unnoticed how much they gravitate towards each other.”
Fans of the show have also noticed the singer and actress often leaving cute messages in the comment section of Tyler’s Instagram pictures, most frequently heart emojis.
It’s not the first time that romance rumours have swirled for Molly, after it was suggested that she was linked to professional dancer Nikita Kuzmin, 24, earlier in the series.
However, she spoke out about the reports, stating: “Nikita and I are just friends.
“I think it’s because we’re similar ages, we just get on well. I don’t have any time to date. I’m too busy.”
While on the show, she also spoke out about her love life, claiming that men are “too scared” to date her.
She said: “I haven’t had any racy DMs. I feel like that’s because I’m a CBBC representative. People see that I’m on a kids’ show… So not really had much of that. I think people assume that if you’re on a kids show you are a child.”
