She has been busy rehearsing and putting on sensational performances for Strictly Come Dancing. 

But Molly Rainford took a night out from her jam-packed schedule as she led the stars at the BAFTA Children & Young People Awards 2022 on Sunday night.

The children’s TV presenter, 22, cut a glamorous figure as she posed up a storm on the red carpet at London’s Old Billingsgate.

She made sure all eyes were on her as she sported a figure-hugging jumpsuit embellished with red sequin patterns and lace bodice detailing.

Molly gave herself a few extra inches in a pair of heels, which were concealed beneath her flared trousers, for the occasion.

The singer let her outfit do all the talking as she kept her accessories simple with a red ring and styled her golden locks loosely in natural waves.

She accentuated her natural good looks with lashings of mascara and a touch of pink lipstick to complete her look.

Molly and her professional partner Carlos Gu danced the Tango this weekend, and she looked sensational in a sequinned red cropped top and matching skirt with a side split.

Anton told them after their performance: ‘The thing about you is you’re a really great dancer but you don’t let us see it… today was the first time you really let us see it… Molly, now you’re talking!’ 

Craig said: ‘I loved the amount of aggression in that, the storytelling was brilliant and it had power. It was great.’

Motsi added: ‘What I really love about you two is, Carlos, you challenge her. We knew from day one that she was talented but there was so much great content.’

‘This is the Molly who is attacking and who we want to see. Well done girl.

Shirley said: ‘Week after week you’ve been in the bottom two and you fight… There was some lovely footwork, the passion between you was absolutely divine. You’ve done brilliant choreography this week.’

Giving the pair their scores, Craig awarded an eight and Motsi, Shirley and Anton all gave them nine each, meaning their score totalled 35 out of a possible 40.

And it was enough for them to avoid the dreaded dance off on Sunday night, as Ellie Taylor was the latest star to leave after facing Fleur East in the bottom two.
