MOLLY Rainford proved the ultimate birthday girl in the perfect party dress.
The EastEnders actress, 23, donned a plunging baby blue bodycon dress with cupped detail that flashed her cleavage in glam snaps posted to her Instagram page.
Molly – who starred in last year’s Strictly Come Dancing series – accessorised with a delicate chain necklace and bangles.
She finished off her look with a wavy blow dry and bold copper eyeshadow.
Her shimmering garment made sure the BBC star was the centre of attention for her special day – with the bash lovingly hosted by her Strictly co-star boyfriend Tyler West, 27.
She then posed for a sweet snap with her man before cuddling up with her pals.
In an emotional caption, Molly gushed: “Still buzzing about the party @tylerwestt surprised me with on the weekend! Thank you for getting all my faves together in one room!!
“Can’t believe it’s my birthday tomorrow last year I was dancing my little heart out on Strictly and this year I started my new venture as Anna Knight. Can’t wait to see what Chapter 23 has in store…
“Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this last year, I’m so so grateful.
“I always hope to make my family, friends and supporters proud in everything I do. Lots of love, Molly.”
DJ Tyler sweetly replied with a white love heart and globe Emoji, hinting she is his world.
Molly might not have taken home the Glitterball trophy last year, but she did manage to walk away with something equally as good, after friendship turned to love with fellow contestant Tyler during the Strictly tour.
Her fans and followers were then quick to wish her a happy birthday in the comments section of her Instagram page.
It came shortly after Molly and Tyler enjoyed a double date night with her parents.
Yet just last month, soap star Molly was left heartbroken following the death of a family member.
“Rest peacefully cousin Ben,” she wrote on Instagram, alongside a snap of the pair.
The poignant snap showed a younger Molly smiling alongside her cousin Ben Azevedo, who was in his wheelchair.
Ben had cerebral palsy and epilepsy and was just 38-years-old when he passed away.
Molly is an ambassador for St Elizabeth’s in Hertfordshire, a specialist school and residential centre where Ben had lived.
Molly and Ben were close growing up and he cheered her on when she competed on Britain’s Got Talent, aged 11, back in 2012.
