Dan Walker second favourite for this years show
BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker is one of the latest contestants to be announced for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing. With the latest stars of the show still slowly being drip-fed as the BBC normally do, there are still 3 more to be announced throughout the week. At 7/1, bookmakers are expecting him to hit the ground running in the show.
Bookmakers will still be stung by 80/1 winner Bill Bailey last year and won’t want a repeat of that this time around, but that success shows that Strictly truly is anyone’s game.
Dragon’s Den’s Sara Davies still remains a 20/1 outsider for the show, with newcomer Tilly Ramsey yet to be priced up by bookmakers.
| Contestant | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Tom Fletcher | 6/1 | 14.29% |
| Dan Walker | 7/1 | 12.49% |
| Robert Webb | 12/1 | 7.69% |
| AJ Odudu | 12/1 | 7.69% |
| Rhys Stephenson | 12/1 | 7.69% |
| John Thwaite | 14/1 | 6.67% |
| Sara Davies | 20/1 | 4.76% |
Popular Eastenders Actress Nini Wadia thrown into the SCD Mix
Nina Wadia has become the 11th and latest contestant reveal for this seasons Strictly Come Dancing competition, as fans of the how begin to question if the BBC are scraping the barrel with choices.
That's no reflection on Nina herself, and these claims are often tabled before most reality shows on TV these days.

It looks like a great line up to me as we await the full line up to be completed and the betting odds to be in place. There is sure to be lots of movement in who the bookmakers make the favourite to win prior to the show starting.
Tom Fletcher Still Favourite with Bookmakers
McFly’s Tom Fletcher remains the 5/1 favourite for the show, with bandmate Harry Judd winning back in 2011. Fletcher’s wife Giovanna also won the latest series of I’m A Celebrity, so winning reality shows is something that those around him are used to.
That could suggest that McFly fans are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to voting on these types of programs and it’s no surprise therefore that the Bookmakers instantly installed him as favourite.
