Molly, who is currently on EastEnders, told Fabulous Magazine that Tyler asked her out on a date after the tour finished.
“I suppose it developed towards the end of the tour because we’d spent so much time together and we were really good friends," she revealed.
“The tour was so much fun. We were just doing everything together and it just progressed from there really.”
