'They're popular with millions of viewers from their stints on Strictly, and Molly will bring in loads of EastEnders fans too. 'They are a very adventurous pair and have brilliant chemistry, so bosses are confident they will become huge fan favourites.' The tabloid also reports that the series has already finished filming, meaning that we shouldn't have to wait too long for the next celebrity edition of the show. As per the regular version of the competition – still airing now on BBC One and iPlayer – Celebrity Race Across the World sees five duos travel across a series of pre-determined checkpoints with limited funds and a ban on airline travel. Previous celebrity contestants have included Jeff Brazier and son Freddy, Harry Judd and mum Emma, and Kelly Brook and husband Jeremy Parisi. The most recent celebrity series aired last August, sending its famous racers on a long and often exhausting journey across South Africa. Former child star Molly is no stranger to the world of reality TV, having first auditioned for Britain's Got Talent in 2012.

She then starred as Nova Jones in the comedy-drama series of the same name, before appearing as a contestant on the 20th series of Strictly Come Dancing. She was partnered with professional dancer Carlos Gu, while DJ Tyler danced with Dianne Buswell. While Tyler was 7th to leave the competition, Molly once again made it all the way through to the finals, only to lose out to CBeebies presenter and cameraman Hamza Yassin. They may have missed out on the Glitterball trophy, but Molly and Tyler walked away with a new relationship – despite reports she'd been 'banned' from dating while on the show. Last year, the couple celebrated their first anniversary with some loved-up posts on Instagram, each sharing a series of pictures from their relationship. 'Happy anniversary baby, 1 year, but it feels like forever! I love you,' Molly wrote, with a white love heart emoji, adding: 'you know that'. 'Everything I could ever wish for. Happy 1 year anniversary mols,' said Tyler. In the comments below their posts, Molly's EastEnders colleagues were quick to congratulate the pair on their anniversary. More Trending 'Ah!

Strictly couple sign up for huge TV show after moving in together
Strictly Come Dancing stars, Molly Rainford and Tyler West, have reportedly filmed the new series of the BBC's gruelling travel show, Celebrity Race Across the World Strictly Come Dancing lovers Molly Rainford and Tyler West have signed up for Celebrity Race Across the World, according to reports. The EastEnders star, 24, and Kiss FM presenter, 29, who met on the BBC dance show in 2022, are said to have already filmed the smash-hit series in which a bunch of plucky celebrities pit their wits against each other while navigating around the globe. The last series of gruelling travel show, in which the rich and famous are not allowed to use mobile phones - or book flights - aired last August and saw stars, including Kelly Brook, Scott Mills, Jeff Brazier and Kola Bokinni race across South America. Lifting the lid on the programme's latest recruits, a source said: "Molly and Tyler are a huge coup for the show. They're popular with millions of viewers from their stints on Strictly, and Molly will bring in loads of EastEnders fans too." They continued in The Sun: "They are a very adventurous pair and have brilliant chemistry, so bosses are confident they will become huge fan favourites.' When contacted by the Mirror about the reports, the BBC declined to comment. Molly and Tyler moved in together last year after meeting on Strictly when Molly was paired with dance professional Carlos Gu and made it to the final, and Tyler was paired with Aussie, Dianne Buswell. It wasn't until the live tour earlier in 2023 that their relationship blossomed into something more, but since then, things have gone from strength to strength. Speaking to MailOnline, Molly said: "We are good and going strong and are actually moving in together - we're just going through, you know dining tables and sofas and all that kind of stuff, it's exciting." Praising his partner for her attention to detail, Tyler confessed: "Molly's turned into a whole interior designer so I'm just taking a complete back seat!" Tyler began his presenting career on CBBC before being snapped up by Kiss FM for his very own show. Meanwhile, EastEnders star Molly, who was cast as Anna Knight - daughter of George Knight (Colin Salmon) and Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) - in the BBC soap in 2023, rose to fame for her performance on Britain's Got Talent when she was just 11 years old. Thanking media mogul Simon Cowell for kick-starting her career, she took to Instagram, saying: "I did Britain's Got Talent in 2012 when I was 11 years old. "That definitely changed my life because after getting to the finals, I was sponsored by Sony Music and Simon Cowell to go to the Sylvia Young theatre school. From those auditions throughout school, I got into the CBBC world." The actress also has a famous dad, who many fans are just finding out about. Molly's father is former footballer Dave Rainford. The 46-year-old began his career at Colchester United as a teenager in 1997 before playing for Slough Town, Heybridge Swift, Bishop's Stortford and AFC Hornchurch. The midfielder signed with Chelmsford City in 2008 before becoming their assistant manager in 2012. He hung up his boots in 2014, but now holds a senior position with the Premier League, serving as its head of education and academy player care.

Paris Hilton pleads for help while sharing video of son 'pointing at ghost'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Paris Hilton has pleaded with fans for help after her son Phoenix creepily alerted her multiple times to a ghost he said was, er, residing in her bedroom. Gulp. The Simple Life star, 44, confessed to being 'spooked' when little Phoenix, two, marched over to her bedroom and said there was a supernatural entity in the doorway. 'There's a ghost in there,' Phoenix can be heard saying while eating a slice of toast, before repeating himself and exclaiming: 'Ghost! Ghost!' When Paris asked the toddler to clarify what he meant, Phoenix repeated himself, saying, 'Room room, Mama's room… Ghost in door. Ghost in this door,' as he ventured into the spooky room. Captioning the disconcerting footage, Paris said: 'Well, I'm spooked 🥺🩷 To all my #SlivingMoms, has this happened with your little ones? Would love to know… for research purposes.' Over 3,000 of Paris' 11million followers took to the comments section to share their view on the strange moment, with many sharing their own paranormal experiences. 'I live in my great grandparents old house, my daughter aged 2 always used to sit at the edge of her bed talking to a 'man'. We were going through old photos and she pointed at my great grandad and said, 'it's the man,'' shared Katherine. Julie added: 'I had an imaginary friend when I was wee called Tommy. Turns out 2 children perished in a fire in our house years before, one called Thomas.' Paris lives in the now-spooky Beverly Hills mansion with Phoenix and one-year-old daughter London, who she shares with husband Carter Reum. This is not the US socialite's first brush with the paranormal, as in 2023 she recalled a terrifying moment in her grandmother's house, when during a sleepover she used a Ouija board. 'One night we were in the playroom and literally a crayon, like I'm not joking, you know those old school crayons, was floating in the air, went like this and flew up,' she said on an episode of her podcast This is Paris, as per Kiss FM. 'We were doing the Ouija board thing, which I am never doing again,' she added. While Paris didn't see the ghost, she is convinced they summoned the spirit of a 17-year-old teenage girl who lived 50 years before her grandmother took over the house. She explained how the girl was hit by a car in the driveway and killed, and people have reported seeing glimpses of her in mirrors behind them. 'Everyone was so scared to ever sleep at [her grandmother's] house again after that,' she said. Got a story?
