Strictly Come Dancing contestants Tyler West and Molly Rainford are rumoured to be on the cusp of ending mounting speculation about the nature of their friendship as they are expected to declare their love for each other.
The pair both battled to win the glitter ball trophy during the 2022 series of Strictly - which was ultimately won by presenter Hamza Yaasin and his dance partner Jowita Przystał.
Kiss FM presenter Tyler, 26, was paired with Dianne Buswell on the show but they crashed out to be placed seventh in the contest.
However 22-year-old Molly and Gorka Márquez made it all the way to the final to end up in runner up positions.
But Tyler and Molly are said to have the hots for each other and The Sun claims Tyler has consulted dance professionals Kai Widdrington and Neil Jones for advice on how to make their romance official.

“One of them replied, ‘Yeah we ship you and Molly.’ He had a big grin on his face and seemed very happy.

Romance rumours were fuelled last week when reports claimed Molly and Tyler had become “inseparable” while on the Strictly tour.
An images of a crew night out in Nottingham surfaced last week, with the pair together, looking very close.
A source claimed: “Tyler and Molly get on like a house on fire. They spend a lot of time together when not performing.
“Tyler is always hanging around waiting for Molly when she gets off the coach and they are often seen heading off together away from the group.
“They are very comfortable which other and it hasn’t gone unnoticed how much they gravitate towards each other.”
Fans of the show have previously noticed singer and actress Molly frequently leaving cute messages in the comment section of Tyler’s Instagram pictures - often heart emojis.
And back when they were on the BBC show, rumours swirled that they were growing close, with a show source blabbing: “Everyone on the show is talking about how flirty the pair are.
