Former Strictly Come Dancing stars Molly Rainford and Tyler West have marked a special milestone in their relationship.

The EastEnders actress and Kiss FM DJ both appeared as celebrity contestants on the 2022 series of the hit ballroom show and went on to confirm their romance last March.

The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary today (March 13) with both Molly and Tyler posting individual tributes to each other on their Instagram accounts.

"Happy anniversary baby," read Molly's caption. "1 year, but it feels like forever! I love you you know that."

Molly shared a number of loved-up photos of the two together, including one from a tropical holiday and another posing together in their new flat. The couple announced that they had officially moved in together in January this year.

Tyler also posted snaps of him and Molly together from the last year, with a similarly sweet caption: "Everything I could ever wish for. Happy 1 year anniversary mols @mollyrainford."

Fellow 2022 Strictly contestant and current Strictly: It Takes Two co-host Fleur East was one of many friends to congratulate the two on the milestone.

"Wow! It's been a whole year???!!! Love you both! Happy Anniversary," she commented on Molly's post.

Strictly professional Jowita Przystal, who won the 2022 series with wildlife presenter Hamza Yassin, also shared a message on Molly's post. "Happy anniversary ❤❤❤ love you both!!!," she wrote.

In a follow-up Instagram Story, Tyler revealed that the two had commemorated the occasion with a romantic dinner at the Michelin-starred restaurant Angler in London's South Place hotel.

Alongside a video of the two cheers-ing their wine glasses, Tyler wrote: "Anniversary hit different btw. Tasting menu @anglerrestaurant at the @southplacehotel."

Strictly Come Dancing will return later this year on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
