EastEnders star Molly Rainford opens up about the possibility of joining I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, and her hilarious take on the jungle experience! Would she ever join the show, or is it just too terrifying? Plus, find out why her love triangle storyline on the soap is heating up! 🔥

EastEnders star Molly Rainford has become one of the rising stars of Walford, with her portrayal of Anna Knight making waves since her debut in the summer of 2023. As the daughter of George Knight and Rose Sawyer (Cindy Beale’s new identity), Anna has quickly captured the hearts of fans, particularly with her dramatic love triangle involving Bobby Beale and Freddie Slater.

Despite her growing fame and popularity, Molly, 24, isn’t ready to step into the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle anytime soon. In an exclusive interview with Heat magazine, the actress revealed that the very idea of facing creepy crawlies and jungle challenges is enough to terrify her. She joked, “I’ve thought about I’m A Celebrity, but the idea of being in the jungle is terrifying for me. Maybe in the future, but not anytime soon. I think I’d need to be hypnotised first.” It seems the jungle’s notorious challenges might be a step too far for this rising star!

While I’m A Celebrity remains off the table for now, Molly’s career continues to rise. She recently took part in Strictly Come Dancing, where she made it to the final alongside her professional dance partner Carlos Gu. Their chemistry on the dance floor didn’t just win her a spot in the final—it also led to a blossoming romance. Molly and her boyfriend, presenter Tyler West, 29, have been living together since January 2024, after meeting on the show. “We’ve been together for two years now, so I can definitely say that I am very happy that we both signed up! Things are going great, and we’ve been living together for about a year now,” Molly said.

The couple, who share a London flat, even keep their salsa dancing skills sharp at home, continuing to enjoy their shared love for dance. “It’s like a little safe haven for us,” Molly added, reflecting on how moving in together has made their bond even stronger.

Back in Walford, Molly is setting her sights on an ambitious future for Anna Knight. “One of my goals is for Anna to become one of those classic characters EastEnders is known for,” she shared. Given her solid fanbase and strong performances, it’s clear that Anna’s future on the soap is bright, with many more twists and turns to come.

Fans can look forward to more drama as Anna continues to navigate her tangled love life while trying to carve out her own path in the Knight family saga. But in the meantime, don’t expect to see her in the I’m A Celebrity jungle anytime soon—unless she’s hypnotised first!
