"From the ballroom to the beach."

Strictly Come Dancing stars Fleur East and Molly Rainford are on holiday together in Barbados.

Taking to Instagram, Molly posed alongside her fellow Strictly 2022 finalist for a cute snap on the beach.

In the picture, the pair can be seen wearing colourful bikinis with their arms up in the air as they beam at the camera, shading their eyes from the bright Barbados sun with sunglasses.

The joint post, which was shared to both Molly and Fleur's social media, was accompanied by a second picture of the two from the Strictly final, and was captioned: "From the ballroom to the beach."
