Molly Rainford beams as she heads to a Strictly rehearsal in peach shorts and a bundled coat

Molly Rainford appeared in good spirits on Friday morning as she stepped out of her London hotel for Strictly Come Dancing Rehearsals.

The singer, 21, donned peach shorts while keeping warm in an oversized jumper and jacket for the outing, preparing to hit the dance floor on Saturday night,

It comes just hours after MailOnline revealed the star is dating Strictly pro Nikita Kuzman, and the pair seemed in love as they headed to Thursday’s National Television Awards.

She kept warm in a borg material jacket for the outing and added a pair of chunky black and white Converse sneakers to the look.

Molly had her blonde locks left to fall freely while adding an ultra-dewy makeup palette to the look.

Beaming and talking into her phone, the BGT star was holding a pair of costume shirts for Saturday’s show as she headed to the dress rehearsal.

Molly enjoyed new single Nikita, 24, at the National Television Awards afterparty the night before.

The couple couldn’t take their eyes off each other as they flirted with each other until the wee hours.

Their blossoming romance comes a week after it was revealed that Nikita, who teams up with Paralympic swimmer Ellie Simmonds, 27, had split from his girlfriend of five years, fellow dancer Nicole Wirt.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Molly and Nikita couldn’t take their eyes off each other all night.

“They didn’t mind who they could see flirting and chatting – and Molly had a big smile on her face.

“The chemistry between them was clear and they even waited for them both to get safely into the taxi at the end of the night – but it looked like they were making arrangements to continue the afterparty together.”

Nikita and Molly were seen leaving the NTA’s afterparty, held at Wembley’s Brent Civic Center, together, resisting the urge to hold hands as they left the venue.

MailOnline has approached Strictly and Molly’s representatives for comment.

Last week it was revealed that Nikita was separated from dancer girlfriend Nicole, who lives mainly in Germany.

A source said that Nikita was eager to “focus” on this series Strictly and that the couple’s long-distance relationship was no longer working for them.

Nikita is competing for the Strictly Glitter Ball trophy this year with swimmer Ellie, while CBBC presenter Molly already tops the leaderboard alongside her professional partner Carlos Gu.

In the latest BBC series, Nikita was rumored to be in a relationship with his famous partner Tilly Ramsay, 20, but the couple are just good friends.

Nikita’s Strictly partner, Paralympic star Ellie, has been hailed for “shattering prejudice about what a dancer can be” by the midget community after her performances on the Saturday night show.

Ellie has said she has never let her disability stop her from doing anything and she is so “proud” to continue Strictly’s portrayal of disabled celebrities after the triumphant victory of deaf actress Rose Ayling-Ellis last year.

She told OK! magazine: ‘Dwarfism has never stopped me from doing anything.

“Strictly is a prime time show and in September, leading up to Christmas, everyone is watching it, so it’s so important that they’re inclusive. When I was a kid, I can’t remember seeing anyone with a disability on TV.

“It shows if I can do it – and I’ve seen people like Rose change the world of disability and inclusivity – then people watching at home can adapt it to them too.”
