Strictly Come Dancing's Molly Rainford shuts down dating rumours again

"I'm too busy for any of that."

Strictly Come Dancing star Molly Rainford is "too busy" to embark on a romance right now.

For the last few weeks, the former Britain's Got Talent contestant (who's partnered up with pro Carlos Gu) has fielded questions regarding backstage connections with her male peers, but now it seems as though talk is turning towards Tyler West and Nikita Kuzmin specifically.

"Apparently everyone thinks I'm dating all the cast, but what time do we have to date anyone while we're on this show?" she asked The Sun in response.

"Anyone who's squeezing it in, please share the tips. I want to know how you do it. They're both lovely boys but I'm too busy for any of that.

"They're both great, but all of the group are. My priority on this show is to dance and learn and put on a good performance. I didn't factor any time in for romance, unfortunately," Rainford went on to reiterate.

"If it happened though, it wouldn't be the end of the world. But I can't see where I would fit it in and where it would happen."

Dodging Cupid's arrows while doing the Jive in Blackpool this week, she also revealed how great inspiration has come from Kym Marsh.

"Kym has done so many things in her career — she was in a band singing, then went into acting and presenting and, like her, I'd just like to open as many doors as possible," Rainford said.

"I'd love to try presenting and then maybe a bit of radio or musical theatre. My ultimate love is music and performing, so to be able to combine that with my new skill of dancing would be great."

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One, while spin-off show Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows also stream on BBC iPlayer.
