Strictly lovers sign up for Celebrity Race Across The World – and they've already secretly filmed BBC hit
STRICTLY lovers Molly Rainford and Tyler West have signed up for Celebrity Race Across The World - and they've already secretly filmed the BBC hit. Molly, 24, and Tyler, 29, who found romance on the Saturday night favourite in 2022, have taken on the broadcaster's gruelling travel challenge together. Swapping ballrooms for backpacks, fans will see the pair dash across continents without flights or mobile phones. A TV insider told The Sun: '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 are a very adventurous pair and have brilliant chemistry, so bosses are confident they will become huge fan favourites.' The last series of Celebrity Race Across the World aired last August and saw famous faces including Kelly Brook, Scott Mills, Jeff Brazier and Kola Bokinni race across South America. A rep for the show has been contacted for comment. EastEnders star Molly rose to fame for her performance on Britain's Got Talent when she was just 11 years old. Tyler began his presenting career on CBBC before being snapped up by Kiss FM for his very own show. The couple fell head over heels for each other when they both took to the Strictly dance floor in 2022. Last year, they spoke about their plans to take their relationship to the next step and move in together. Inside Molly Rainford and Tyler West's romantic weekend in Marbella as she strips to bikini at wild pool party Tyler told the Mail:"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. "Molly's turned into a whole interior designer so I'm just taking a complete back seat!" Sharing cute videos of them kissing in their empty living room they said: "Well guys, it was only right that we let you into our little home, the next part of our journey starts now." There were rumours an engagement ring was on the cards for the couple after they went on a romantic trip to Paris. Molly previously addressed the engagement clamour in an interview with The Sun. She told us at the tail end of 2023: "Not just yet. I think we will get Christmas out of the way and then go from there." 3 3

EastEnders' Molly Rainford has a famous dad, fans reveal
Rainford started her EastEnders career in June 2023 and her character is the daughter of George Knight and Cindy Beale. In 2022, the 24-year-old took part in Strictly Come Dancing with professional dancer Carlos Gu and the pair made it to the finals but missed out on the Glitterball trophy as CBeebies star Hamza Yassin was crowned the winner alongside his professional partner Jowita Przystal. The actor and singer found fame on Britain's Got Talent (BGT) when she progressed to the finals of the ITV show in 2012, aged 11, reports The Mirror. A post shared by Molly Rainford (@mollyrainford) The newspaper said Simon Cowell was impressed so much with her BGT performance that 'she was awarded their first ever drama school scholarship to the Sylvia Young Theatre School' which 'led to her landing roles on CBBC presenting Friday Download and starring in sci-fi series Nova Jones.' She's not the only famous Rainford in her family as her dad is former footballer Dave Rainford. The Mirror said: 'The 46-year-old started at Colchester United as a teenager before going on to play for Slough Town, Heybridge Swift, Bishop's Stortford and AFC Hornchurch. A post shared by Molly Rainford (@mollyrainford) 'The midfielder joined Chelmsford City (in) 2008 before becoming their assistant manager in 2012. After retiring from football in 2014, Dave now works in a top job for the Premier League, as Head of Education & Academy Player Care.' EastEnders fans started a discussion on Reddit after finding out who Molly's dad is and debated whether she is a 'nepo baby' or not.

Another said: 'I don't see how she's a nepo baby when neither of her parents have any connection to TV or film.'
