They were battling each other for the glitterball trophy mere weeks ago but it seems Strictly Come Dancing stars Fleur East and Molly Rainford have formed a genuine friendship on the show, even ringing in the New Year together.
Fleur, 35, and Molly, 22, have taken a well-deserved holiday to Saint James in Barbados after three gruelling months of training and competing on the BBC show, giving fans a glimpse at how they celebrated the end of 2022.
Molly shared a video of herself and Fleur in a group of people – including Molly’s mum Sarah, and Fleur’s sister Keshia and husband Marcel Badiane-Robin – shouting ‘Happy New Year!’ as they cheered at the camera.
CBBC star Molly looked sensational in a long-sleeved Prada white cropped top with matching trousers as she celebrated on the island, while Fleur wowed in a lace black bodysuit.
Molly also shared clips of herself and her mum Sarah enjoying a firework display over the sea.
Before they headed out to celebrate the New Year, Fleur and Molly shared a photo of themselves soaking up the sun on a Barbados beach in their colourful bikinis, captioning the post ‘From the ballroom to the beach 🏝️’

Molly also posted a TikTok of herself, Fleur and Keshia transforming from their bikinis into their glamorous evening wear for their occasion.
Former X Factor finalist Fleur also shared a Story of the pair strolling along the coastline, with Molly joking: ‘Fancy seeing you there.’
‘What are the chances,’ Fleur, sporting shades responded, while Molly said: ‘Last time I saw you we were in the ballroom.’
‘Now we’re on the beach,’ a chuffed Fleur continued, spanning the camera over to white sand. ‘We made it.’

Fleur shared her own images of herself having fun on the island as she entered 2023, writing: ‘Starting 2023 as I mean to go on…happy, fun and free! Happy New Year!!’
A psychic previously told Metro.co.uk that Molly will be doing a lot of travelling this year to secure a ‘big money contract.’

Inbaal Honigman said: ‘Molly’s future is golden – a big money contract is waiting for her after the competition is over. She’ll be made offers she couldn’t even imagine a year ago, and is likely to say yes to everything.
‘She’s waited patiently for success, and success has come for her. She’ll be travelling a lot. The six of Coins tells us Molly will be a very wealthy lady as a result.’
