Strictly Come Dancing's most glittering romance has reached a stunning new milestone, as radio DJ Tyler West got down on one knee to propose to his partner and fellow 2022 finalist, Molly Rainford.
The loved-up pair, who found love while competing on the hit BBC show, announced their engagement in a wave of joyous social media posts on Thursday, sending fans into a frenzy.
A Sunset Proposal in Ibiza
The magical moment unfolded against a picture-perfect Ibizan sunset. Tyler, 28, masterminded the romantic surprise, choosing a clifftop setting with panoramic sea views to ask the all-important question.
Molly, 23, shared a series of beautiful photographs and an emotional video capturing the raw, happy tears and overwhelming emotion of the occasion. The clip shows the couple locked in a heartfelt embrace after she said 'yes', with her dazzling new ring taking centre stage.
Breaking the 'Strictly Curse'
Their engagement firmly cements their status as one of Strictly's ultimate success stories, famously beating the so-called 'Strictly curse'. Instead of a curse, their time on the show was the beginning of a real-life fairytale.
Both contestants reached the final of the 2022 series, with Molly finishing as runner-up alongside professional dancer Carlos Gu, and Tyler and his partner Dianne Buswell landing in fourth place.
Flood of Congratulations
The news has been met with an outpouring of love from their Strictly family. Fellow contestants, professional dancers, and hosts quickly flooded the comments sections of their posts to share their congratulations.
This engagement proves that for some, the ballroom is just the beginning of a lifelong dance together. Fans eagerly await to see what steps the newly-engaged couple will take next.
