‘Strictly Come Dancing’ hasn’t even started yet, but already the bookies think they know who is going to win this year’s series.
After Greg Rutherford, Tameka Empson and Lesley Joseph became the last three contestants to be announced for the BBC ballroom competition on Monday (22 August), bookies were able to name their early favourite.
Olympic gymnast Claudia Fragapane looks most likely to walk away with the Glitterball Trophy at this point, with bookmakers William Hill giving her odds of 7/2.
She is closely followed by original ‘Pop Idol’ winner Will Young at 5/1 and former ‘Hollyoaks’ actor Danny Mac at 6/1.
At the bottom of the pile are ‘Birds Of A Feather’ star Lesley Joseph at 50/1 and former MP Ed Balls at 66/1, despite the fact we know that he has some moves up his sleeve.
