Cheek to cheek, Mollie and the Holby star

- By Laura Lambert TV and Radio Reporter

SHE is already a favourite to win Strictly Come Dancing this year. And it seems pop singer Mollie King is certainly a hit with at least one person – fellow contestant Joe McFadden.

The 41-year-old Holby City actor and Miss King, 30, put on an energetic display of their best dance moves at the series launch at BBC Broadcasti­ng House on Monday.

Then, away from the television cameras, they seemed to share a more intimate moment, with McFadden leaning his head towards hers and putting an arm around her.

Miss King, of girl group The Saturdays, is currently single having previously been linked to Prince Harry and having a five year on-off relationsh­ip with model David Gandy.

Singer Alexandra Burke will take part in the series despite the death of her mother on Monday. She said Melissa Bell, part of 1980s group Soul II Soul, ‘would have wanted me to carry on’.
