<\/p>\nSTRICTLY star Tyler West has revealed the hardest part of watching his girlfriend Molly Rainford on EastEnders – saying it "breaks his heart."<\/p>\n
The radio DJ, who found love with the CBBC presenter back in March after meeting on the BBC dance competition, also admitted that the Strictly "curse" was actually a "blessing" for him.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Tyler, 27, said his relationship is moving in the right direction, with the pair planning to move in together. <\/p>\n
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Tyler said: "Molly's smashing it on EastEnders – I watch it every morning, I'm actually one step ahead of the game and I watch it on iPlayer.<\/p>\n
"It's juicy but I tell you what, I don't like seeing Molly cry, it breaks my heart.<\/p>\n
"I can't differentiate between Molly and Anna, so I'm like 'please don't cry now, please don't cry'.<\/p>\n

"It's hard to watch sometimes but she's doing amazing."<\/p>\n
Opening up about his blossoming romance, Tyler said he was thankful that his Strictly experience brought him and Molly together.<\/p>\n
"I think when you first meet someone you know, I think that was the case," he told us.<\/p>\n
"But we were so caught up dancing and so intense, we said 'alright, let's just keep it chill for a second'.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "For me it wasn't a Strictly curse, it was a Strictly blessing. I can't relate to any of that. I didn't see it on our series."<\/p>\n Tyler gushed over his soap star actress girlfriend, he continued: "It's the best thing, you can see by the smile on my face."<\/p>\n When asked if they plan to take the next stage in their relationship and move in together, Tyler replied: "I think everything and more."<\/p>\n It's been a year since Tyler's and Molly appeared on Strictly, so there is no one better couple to give advice for the new contestants.<\/p>\n "A lot of ice baths, a lot of rest and recovery and just put a smile on your face because it will show," Tyler said.<\/p>\n "There are so many cameras in that studio. It's being thrown in the deep end but I promise you, it's the best thing that can happen – just embrace it all and it just ends up being the best experience, they'll love it.<\/p>\n "I'll be supporting everyone on the show, the pro dancers are absolutely incredible, it's just going to be weird sitting on the other side of the camera."<\/p>\n While Molly said: "I'm going to get major FOMO, I'm excited to support and watch Carlos.<\/p>\n "I'll be supporting Bobby Brazier and Carlos – I'm going to be so torn.<\/p>\n "Secretly I'll be team Carlos [Gu] as he's my partner, I feel like I'm dancing with whoever he's dancing with."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Molly told The Sun that it can be strange to do kissing scenes with co-stars while having a boyfriend in real life.<\/p>\n She said: "It is strange to do but it's so nice to be with Tyler, someone who is in this industry and understands that it's a job and that's all it is. <\/p>\n "They've all met, so that's good and they all know each other.<\/p>\n "Ty's been amazing, it's not too early to move in together but we're just seeing how things go."<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/TM-comp-Mike-Yarwood-2.jpg\")
