Strictly Come Dancing's Molly Rainford to launch music career with Justin Bieber's label

Strictly Come Dancing star Molly Rainford is launching her pop career with the help of Justin Bieber's label.

The talented actress and singer, 22, is releasing a single called My Heart's A Broken Record via Positiva - the subsidiary of Justin's label Universal.

She had been working on her music career while competing on Strictly Come Dancing last year.

Molly collaborated with producer Alex Kirsch for the summer anthem.

"Alex lives around the corner from me – Essex is full of talent!" the star, who lives with her mum and dad, exclusively told Mirror.

"We met up and jammed through some stuff then got into the studio during Strictly. It’s really feelgood and super fun for the summer."

She continued: "I haven’t released my own music before, so it’s nice to have a bit more of me out there. My idols are Beyoncé and Rihanna – they’re multitalented entrepreneurs and boss women. That’s what I want to be like.

"In terms of writing, I’d love to write with Ed Sheeran. I saw him on a red carpet once and I got really starstruck. I wanted to ask him for a photo but I couldn’t! He’s super humble."

Molly has been keeping busy with her career as it was recently reported that the BBC are looking to sign her on EastEnders.

She proved to be a huge hit on the flagship show where she strutted her stuff with professional dancer Carlos Gu with the couple finishing as runners-up behind winner Hamza Yassin.

Molly, who starred as the lead role in CBBC's Nova Jones, is being lined up to join Walford as part of a brand new family that will move into the Queen Vic following the supposed death of Danny Dyer's EastEnders landlord Mick.

A TV insider said: “Molly joins a long line of former finalists who’ve gone on to bigger things than the competitors who’ve ultimately triumphed."

“But anyone who saw her on Strictly could see the entertainment world was her oyster," they told The Sun.

Meanwhile, Molly recently confirmed her relationship with Strictly co-star Tyler West.

After rumours swirled about their romance, the pair confirmed they are dating in a sweet TikTok video.
