MOLLY Rainford is giving fellow East-Ender Bobby Brazier secret dance lessons ahead of his stint on Strictly.
Molly, 22, who took part in the BBC ballroom show last year, made her Albert Square debut in June alongside Colin Salmon, Harriet Thorpe and Francesca Henry.
And in an exclusive interview, she says she is tipping the 20-year-old actor for Strictly Come Dancing glory-now that she's taught him the correct frame for ballroom dancing.
Molly, who finished sixth with her pro partner Carlos Gu last year, said: "I had no idea Bobby was going for Strictly but when I found out, straight away I was showing him the frame.
"I joked to him, 'How about we practise together and then you say I taught you everything you know'. So that's what's happening though of course his pro partner may say different.
"My advice to him was just to enjoy it and take it all in, and to expect it to be tougher than you thought.
"The work that goes in is much more than I expected... the routine you perform on Saturday definitely doesn't look like that on Monday.
"So I said to him, 'You will have to take it a bit seriously at times. If you want Shirley to notice the technique, you have to give it some welly?
"But I'm sure he will work hard because he'll want to get things right. He has the drive for it.
"He can come across as very laid-back but on set at EastEnders, he's so focused and wants to get the scenes right.
"I'm going to have major FOMO (fear of missing out) watching him perform though.
"The show is so hard physically, but even with all the ice baths in the world, I would still do it every year if I could."
Bobby, the son of late reality TV star Jade Goody and TV presenter Jeff Brazier, and Molly are set to become even closer now their on-screen characters have coupled up. This week, fans saw Bobby's character Freddie Slater seduce Molly's Anna Knight.
