Strictly’s Tyler West and Molly Rainford fuel romance rumours as they’re spotted cosying up in a bar after tour
STRICTLY Come Dancing co-stars Tyler West and Molly Rainford were seen cosying up in a bar on the tour.
The pair signed up to take part in the Strictly tour after competing in the 2022 series.
The Sun last month revealed Molly, 22, and Tyler, 26, had grown close during the BBC show.
And new photos show the pair looking close on a night out after the latest leg of their Strictly tour.
The pair headed out on the town in Nottingham on Tuesday with the full Strictly tour crew and could be seen enjoying drinks together.
Molly and Tyler stood close and were deep in conversation, with singer Molly wearing a crop top and jeans, and TV presenter Tyler dressed in a black top and tracksuit bottoms.
A source close to Molly insisted they are “just friends”.
The Sun has contacted their reps for comments.
The singer and actress also frequently leaves heart emojis under Kiss FM DJ Tyler’s Instagram pictures on social media.
A Strictly insider said: “Everyone on the show is talking about how flirty the pair are.
“They’re both young and single and have really hit it off and so it feels like romance is on the cards.
“They always seem to be smiling and having a laugh.
Tyler is well known on set for his banter and friendly nature and has definitely impressed Molly with his sense of humour.”
Molly recently jetted to Barbados after making the final of the BBC dance show in December.
She reached last year’s Strictly final with professional dancer Carlos Gu, 28, but was beaten by winner Hamza Yassin.
Molly also revealed plans to get back into music after Strictly.
The former Britain’s Got Talent star told The Sun: “It has been a while since I have done my own music.
“I can now bring in my new dance skills to my music which I couldn’t do before so I think Strictly has definitely made me a more confident and complete performer and artist.”
Asked about her own musical inspirations, the 22-year-old pointed to pop sensations Anne-Marie and Dua Lipa.
“That is the kind of artist I would love to be like,” she said.
“I just want to keep writing and create my own career as a pop star. I have been doing so much music playing CBBC’s Nova Jones which I love.”
