Strictly's Molly Rainford apologises to pro partner Carlos Gu after result upset

Molly Rainford has issued an apology to Strictly Come Dancing pro partner Carlos Gu for 'letting him down,' after a shock result saw the couple plunged into the dance-off for the first time at the weekend.

Prior to Saturday night's BBC 100th Birthday special, CBBC star Molly, famous for playing Nova Jones, had been one of the new series' most consistent high scorers, having received great marks for the Strictly judges from the get-go. Her and Carlos' week routine saw the couple perform a Couple's Choice to the theme tune from Grange Hill.

Dressed as school kids in the Grange Hill uniform, Molly and Carlos went through their steps in a set mocked up to look like a school canteen, however, while it looked like they were having lots of fun in the bathroom, the judges weren't brimming over with enthusiasm with their reactions.
