Molly, 21, looked her glamorous self as she stood close to Vito, 30, and she appeared to put her arm around the dancer and puckered her lips in another snap while standing beside him.
Vito, who is partnered with Fleur East on this year’s series, and Molly, were seen engaging in conversation with others at the festive bash.
Despite the pair, who are both single, appearing close, an insider has told HOAR: “Molly is an affectionate person and as she’s said in multiple interviews – she doesn’t have time or capacity for dating right now.”
BBC and Molly’s representatives had no comment when contacted.
Molly has reached the quarter finals of the hit BBC show with pro partner Carlos Gu.
But in a bid to keep their dance the main focus, it’s been revealed that the young singer has been put on a dating ban by Carlos.
Despite being previously romantically linked to her celebrity co-star Tyler West, Molly has insisted that she has her eyes firmly fixed on winning.
In order to secure the Glitterball trophy, the former Britain’s Got Talent star revealed her pro partner banned her from dating.
Dancer Carlos, 28, who joined the cast of Strictly this year, warned her to steer clear of distractions during the tense competition.
The CBBC star told The Mirror that she “doesn’t have any time for romance” in between training and rehearsals for the show.
“Carlos told me, ‘You can’t be skipping any rehearsals to go on dates’,” Molly explained. “So I don’t have time for romance.”
Squashing rumours she could be interested in Tyler, 26, she added: “Tyler is a lovely boy. We all get on really well, but we are just training and working hard.”
