The talented child actress played the sinister schoolgirl in the Walford soap.

Over a decade later she boasts 25k followers on Instagram and loves sharing snaps from her glam life.

Molly has a slew of bikini snaps worthy of a Love Island star and revealed she's big into her fitness.

She also loves to share a selfie and posts from her nights out at clubs and festivals.

Molly joined EastEnders aged just seven after auditioning for the role of Tiffany Dean that went to Maisie Smith.

Instead bosses offered her the part of Dotty - changing her age from 11 to seven so she would fit the part.

In 2019, Dotty returned alongside show veteran Dot Cotton but now played by Milly Zero, the 22-year-old who still plays her today.

In 2020 Molly revealed she was held at knifepoint by robbers who stole a car, phone and watch in a terrifying raid at her Essex home.
