Molly Rainford, star of Strictly Come Dancing, has opened up about why she's not backing her EastEnders co-star, Bobby Brazier, in the latest series of the popular dance show.
Last year, Molly, 22, impressed BBC viewers as she made it to the final of Strictly with her professional partner, Carlos Gu, 39. Now, she explains why she's not supporting Bobby in his bid for the title.
Love and Loyalty on Strictly
Molly's reason for not supporting Bobby is deeply personal. While she didn't win the GlitterBall trophy, she did find love on the show. Molly began dating her co-star, Tyler West, 27, who was paired with Dianne Buswell, 34. Molly describes Tyler as the "best boy ever," and it seems that her heart lies with her former partner, Carlos Gu.
Team Gu Forever
Molly is fully committed to her former partner and says she will be "team Gu forever." She admits that she feels a connection to Carlos and sees him as if he were her own partner. It will be strange for her to see Carlos dance with someone else, but she's excited to see what they will accomplish together on the show.
A Strong EastEnders Presence
Bobby Brazier is not the only EastEnders star competing for the Strictly title. The soap opera is well-represented in this year's lineup. Despite being part of the same cast, Molly will be supporting someone completely different.
Strictly Fever
Molly's love for Strictly Come Dancing is evident as she reveals that she would participate in the show every year if she could. Her passion for dancing and the excitement of the competition is contagious.
Controversy Surrounding Carlos' New Dance Partner
Carlos Gu has been paired with Angela Scanlon for this season. However, it hasn't been smooth sailing for Angela, who has already faced scandal. It was discovered that she had dance training in the US, raising questions about her previous experience and expertise.
Angela's background as a trained dancer with the O'Shea Irish Dance Company has come to light. She even performed professionally and had a role as a dancer in a US show before gaining recognition through her TV work.
Despite the controversy, Molly is excited to see what Carlos and Angela will bring to the dance floor.
It seems the world of Strictly Come Dancing is not short of drama, both on and off the stage.
