BBC Star Molly Rainford Has a Famous Father – And It’s Not Who You’d Expect
Fans of EastEnders were surprised to learn that Molly Rainford — who plays Anna Knight on the BBC soap — has a well-known father outside of the entertainment industry. While many know her from her Strictly Come Dancing finals appearance and as a finalist on Britain’s Got Talent, her roots run deep in another high-profile world: professional football.
Molly’s Father Is Ex-Footballer Dave Rainford
Molly’s dad is Dave Rainford, a former midfielder who played for Colchester United, Chelmsford City, and other clubs before retiring in 2014. He later moved into a senior role at the Premier League, currently serving as Head of Education & Academy Player Care.
