Strictly Come Dancing's Molly Rainford issues defiant update as chances of winning 'ruled out'

Molly Rainford is on a mission to show everyone what she's capable of and vows to 'bring the passion' as she goes into this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing semi final as the outsider to win, with bookies ruling out her chances of even making next week's final.

Other than her Couple's Choice routine to the Grange Hill theme tune for the BBC 100th birthday special, Molly has been a consistent high scorer alongside pro partner Carlos Gu in the new series of Strictly, with the couple delivering some amazing performances over the weeks, after making a fine impression in week one.

Unfortunately for Molly, the youngest of this year's contestants and best known to TV viewers for playing CBBC icon Nova Jones, too often the vote has not reflected the leaderboard and she and Carlos have now found themselves in the bottom two four times, including at the end of last week's Musicals Week, when they landed in danger even after scoring a tremendous 38 out of 40 for their Chicago themed Charleston. They had to battle it out in the dance-off alongside Kym Marsh and Graziano Di Prima to survive, with fans angry on Molly's behalf that she was in the bottom again.
