Former Actor Ryan Thomas moves into 5/2 favourite to win this year's Dancing On Ice
Former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas has moved into the betting favourite to win Dancing On Ice after impressing judges and viewers on week one of the show.
UK Betting Sites have now moved Thomas into 5/2 favourite after topping the leaderboard on Sunday night's show with 26.5 awarded by the judges.
This has seen his odds shorten from 5/1 that he was before the show kicked off to the 5/2 favourite that he is now where he sits above second favourite Greg Rutherford.
William Hill's latest betting odds give an implied probability of 28% that Thomas wins this series of Dancing On Ice but there's still a long way until the business end of the show.
| Dancing On Ice 2024 Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Ryan Thomas | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Greg Rutherford | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Amber Davies | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Miles Nazaire | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Lou Sanders | 13/2 | 13.3% |
What the expert says..
Ricky Hatton finished bottom of the leaderboard on the first show of the series
Ricky Hatton went into Sunday's Dancing On Ice as the clear favourite to be the first celebrity to be eliminated and that won't have changed after his performance.
Hatton finished bottom of the judges leaderboard with a total of 12.5 scored by the judges for his dance to Bill Conti's 'Gonna Fly Now'.
The former boxer spoke to OLBG about his preparation for Dancing On Ice saying he was enjoying his rehearsal time, which you can read in full below.

Former favourites Amber Davies and Miles Nazaire drift out to joint third in the market
Amber Davies and Miles Nazaire had been going back and forth at the top of the betting market in the weeks leading up to Dancing On Ice getting underway.
Now the series has kicked off though, both of the celebrities odds have since drifted in the odds with Davies finishing second in the leaderboard behind Thomas on Sunday.
Nazaire has yet to dance yet with the opening two weeks splitting the 12 celebrities first dances so we may well see a change in the market next weekend.
