Molly Rainford says she was 'lucky' to fall in love with Tyler West on Strictly Come Dancing - now she wonders if Bobby Brazier will also find romance
She only waltzed into Walford three months ago but Molly Rainford is already at the heart of the action in EastEnders. Strictly Come Dancing 2022 finalist Molly, 22, arrived in Walford in June as big-hearted Anna Knight, when her dad George moved into The Queen Vic with his wife Elaine Peacock .
It’s heavy going, but as a born and bred Cockney it means the world to Molly to be on the show. “It’s pretty iconic – especially for me, I’m from the East End so it feels very special to me – and my family as well,” says Molly. “Walking out on that Square for the first time and seeing it all in the flesh was very crazy.”
Michelle Collins ’ resurrection as Cindy was front page news - but even Molly had no idea she would be working so closely with the soap legend. “I had no idea until the week she aired,” shares Anna. “It’s pretty iconic to be part of the Beale family as well as the Knight’s and Cindy is such an edition. She’s such a legend in Walford so it feels very much an honour.”
Molly’s fame skyrocketed when she appeared on Strictly last year and made it to the final with professional dancer Carlos Gu. Now she’s helping her co-star Bobby prepare to take his turn this year. “There’s been a few tips,” says Molly. “But I’m going to let him feel it out for himself. It’s very different with boys as their part is so different to ours, so I’ll let his partner coach him.”
Molly couldn’t be happier with Tyler but says they’re not moving in together just yet. “He’s amazing,” she gushes. “We’re just seeing how things go. We’re both very busy and there’s still a lot of stuff to do. So we’ll see.”
