Molly Rainford and Tyler West finally go public with their romance

Molly Rainford finally confirmed her romance with TV and radio presenter Tyler West on Thursday evening as they attended a launch party for chain restaurant Gaucho in central London. 

After months of speculation the former Strictly Come Dancing contestants – seemingly tired of arriving at the same events twelve feet apart – were hand in hand while making their way into the venue. 

Greeting onlookers, Tyler, 27, wrapped an arm around actress Mollie’s shoulders as the posed for photographers ahead of the event, where he would serve as DJ. 

Molly, 22, looked typically stylish in a thigh-skimming black minidress, worn beneath a bleached grey denim shirt-jacket. 

She added to the look with a simple black handbag, while distinctive red mesh heels gave an otherwise subdued ensemble a welcome splash of colour.

Meanwhile Tyler looked relaxed in a black muscle-top, jacket and matching trousers, a look he teamed with box fresh white trainers. 

Other guests in attendance included former Love Island star Megan Barton Hanson and Strictly Come Dancing professionals Nadiya Bychkova and Katya Jones – who arrived with close friend Aimee Fuller. 

The Only Way Is Essex cast-member Demi Jones – Megan’s on-off girlfriend – also made her presence felt at the event, and her heavily tattooed back was visible courtesy of the off-the-shoulder denim corset top she wore while entering the venue.

Molly and Tyler finally appeared to confirm their romance in a recent TikTok video, during which they lip-synced to a scene from Friends while being openly physically affectionate with one another. 

The pair both competed on Strictly Come Dancing last year – with Molly earning second place and Tyler coming seventh.

In February they were spotted holding hands as they were spotted walking hand-in-hand in Belfast, Ireland while on the Strictly Come Dancing live tour.

In pictures obtained by The Sun, the singer and radio host linked hands while appearing to enjoy a light chat.

They are thought to have been out partying with their co-stars earlier in the evening, who stayed out while the pair dipped out early.

Tyler and Molly first sparked rumours of a romance back in October after ‘flirting backstage’ during the Pride Of Britain awards.

A source told The Sun: ‘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.’

The insider added Tyler is known on set for his banter and has impressed Molly with his sense of humour.
