Carlos joined Strictly Come Dancing in the twentieth season last year. The thirty-year-old Chinese dancer and choreographer began dancing with his professional partner, Susan Sun and participated in various dance competitions internationally and in China before entering Strictly.
It is how Carlos started the new chapter of his life. He was paired with Molly Rainford in the twentieth season and Angela Scanlon in the twenty-first. The Chinese National Champion specializes in ballroom, contemporary, and ballet dance.
Carlos gets ready to show the power of dancing to anyone who mocks it. For instance, he challenged the Strictly host Claudia Winkleman to bring her back to Rumba moves when she stated that Rumba was just standing. He is close friends with Nancy Xu YouJie, the thirty-two-year-old Chinese dancer and one of the choreographers on Strictly.
Carlos Gu Partner
Carlos Gu was linked to her previous Strictly Come Dancing partner, Molly Rainford. They claimed to be just friends, but viewers could not buy what they were selling. Viewers assumed they were more than just friends, but the duo did not respond to the rumors. Moreover, Carlos does not share his dating life publicly.
Meanwhile, Molly informed Express.co.uk that Carlos put a ban on her dating during the show. He reportedly did it so that she could only focus on the show. He did not know whether they would win, but he followed the recipe to approach the Glitterball, and they made it to the final.
Carlos has been in the show for two seasons, and Molly was his first partner. Thus, she supported him as much as she could, which must have brought them together. Meanwhile, she confessed that her father prevented her from loving anyone on the set to focus on her career.
Molly, however, was twenty-one and not looking for anyone on Strictly. Her parents wanted her to focus on her career, and she followed their instructions. Ironically, some viewers romantically linked her to her fellow choreographer Nikita Kuzmin, and romance could be seen in their eyes.
Molly knew viewers were interested in gossiping about the personal lives of the Strictly dancers, but she clarified that she was only friends with everyone.
Molly Rainford
Molly Anne Rainford, 23, is the daughter of the former English footballer Dave Rainford. She joined Strictly Come Dancing Season 20 in 2022 and made it to the finals. The English actress, singer, and television personality is also known for Britain’s Got Talent, Friday Download, Nova Jones, and EastEnders.
Currently, Molly plays Anna Knight on EastEnders and Nova Jones, the main character in the series with the same name. She participated in Britain’s Got Talent in 2012 at eleven and finished in sixth place.
Children were her target audience because they loved her as Nova Jones. Moreover, she wanted them to learn who Nova was behind the curtain. Thus, she threw herself into new things. She did not feel pressured because she reportedly remained authentic.
Molly is reportedly in a relationship with her fellow Strictly contestant and Kiss FM presenter Tyler West, 27. They were strangers while joining the show but found love with time instead of the Glitterball. They purchased a flat in East London and will begin in 2024 by moving in together.
Tyler asked Molly on a date while rehearsing together in January 2023, and they both felt something for each other.
Angela Scanlon
Carlos was paired with the Irish television presenter, broadcaster, and author Angela Scanlon in Strictly Season 21 but could survive only till the tenth week. She traveled to Australia, New York, and South East Asia after completing her graduation.
Angela, 39, and Carlos appeared in Strictly It Takes Two after getting eliminated and stated that they felt robbed due to the decision. She felt lucky to be the dance partner of a passionate person like Carlos. Thus, she could not control her tears while warning him not to tip her over the edge.
Meanwhile, Carlos agreed they had a physical connection, and their souls were bonded deeply. However, he was glad he enjoyed every moment with her during their journey on Strictly. She appreciated those ups and downs and the glorious moments spent with other contestants.
Angela also cried when her elimination was announced on the stage, and Carlos had to give her time to wipe her tears when she asked for a hug.
