Former Strictly Come Dancing contestants Molly Rainford and Tyler West have reportedly 'signed up' for Celebrity Race Across the World. Singer and actress Molly, 24, and radio presenter Tyler, 29, both appeared on the BBC dance competition in 2022 – and announced news of their relationship a year later. Following her stint on the show, Britain's Got Talent finalist and famous footballer's daughter Molly went on to secure the role of Anna Knight in EastEnders. Former CBBC presenter Tyler, meanwhile, currently presents a slot on weekday afternoons for Kiss FM. The couple confirmed their relationship in March 2023, and moved in together a year later. They have been inseparable ever since, using social media to keep fans updated on their relationship. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter.

According to sources, Molly and Tyler are about to return to reality TV -racing against five other celebrity duos in an upcoming series of the hit BBC travel competition. The Sun reported news of Molly and Tyler's casting this weekend, with a source saying: '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 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. Aged only 11, she made it through to the semi-finals, where she finished in sixth place – losing out to winner Ashleigh Butler and her performing dog. After attending theatre school, she became a presenter on the CBBC entertainment series Friday Download from 2014 to 2016. 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! You two!' wrote her on-screen mum, Michelle Collins. Sonia Fowler actress Natalie Cassidy described the couple as 'so gorgeous', while Elaine Peacock actress Harriet Thorpe left a series of emojis. View More » Meanwhile, fellow Strictly competitor Fleur East reminisced on their time together, saying: 'Wow! It's been a whole year???!!! Love you both! Happy Anniversary'. Got a story?

Denise Van Outen shares unlikely way to finding love after divorce
EXCLUSIVE: Singer and TV host, Denise Van Outen, said she took up golf after her divorce because she wanted to meet 'loads of men' and found most of her male pals had taken up the sport Denise Van Outen says she teed up the best way to find a new man - by taking up golf. The presenter and singer reveals she first took a punt on putting to bag a date. After divorcing, Denise saw it as a better option compared to dating sites and boozy nights out. 'The reason I got into it - this is the truth - it was after my divorce, and I wanted to go somewhere where there are just loads of men,' coughed Denise. 'I just went 'Where can I go?' - I remember being with my friend. "Because when you're young, you just go to a nightclub. And I was like 'I'm not going to be able to do that now, and I just don't want to spend all night in the nightclub'. I was like 'Where have all the nightclubbers gone?' And I looked, and most of my male friends have grown up and got into golf. I thought 'Perfect'.' Former Strictly runner-up, Denise, 51, also now a successful DJ, divorced Any Dream Will Do winner Lee Mead, with whom she has daughter Betsy, ten years ago. She is now reported to have a new businessman partner, Adam Butler, who joined her on holiday in the Maldives last month. She previously dated trader Eddie Boxshall and Italian property businessman Jimmy Barber, whom she split from in November last year after 18 months together. But she has retained her love for golf and is now keen to see more women take up golf, after being told her idea will spark a rush of women heading for the golf course. She said it is good to find a new passion later in life and told the Pack Your Bags podcast: 'We need more women playing golf. 'I've travelled with that and gone to some lovely places. I centre a lot of my holidays around either golf or DJing. I can play. I can hit a ball.' She said the 'most fun' course she has ever played was one in Barbados where players keep being brought cocktails by staff on buggies. Asked how that affects her performance, she said: 'It normally gets better and then it starts to really go downhill quite rapidly.' Following her split from Jimmy, Denise told the Mirror: 'This summer has probably been the most sort of hedonistic summer I've had since the 90s. I've had a lot of fun a lot of going out lot of drinking rosé wine in the summer and enjoying myself. But I'm good at knowing when to stop.' She previously opened up on how she was exploring new romantic possibilities after joining the celebrity dating app Raya. Denise said: 'I did connect with one massive Hollywood star. We had a little bit of the chat, but I don't live in LA, so I thought, he's not going to come to Chelmsford. 'I loved it [Raya]. I've made some friends. I go on dates. I'm not an angel. I'm out having a good time." But after hearing pals' experiences, Denise is in no rush to enter another relationship. She shared: "My friends in these long-term relationships are all moaning to me anyway. They say they don't have sex and argue all the time. They try to creep in at night when their other half's asleep in bed.' Denise added: 'I feel happier now than I used to, because I'm more content in myself. As we start to get older, you hear of people getting the illnesses. "I lost a friend when she was quite young. It made me realise it's more important to celebrate the fact you're still here and still able to enjoy yourself and do things.' Denise has had a rocky love life as she was married to performer Lee Mead but divorced in 2015, and she later dated Eddie Boxshall. In 2022, they broke up following allegations of illicit text exchanges with other women behind her back. She discovered love again with Jimmy, who appeared to have mended her broken heart, but they later split.
