Strictly Come Dancing 2025: Ellie Goldstein Odds-On to Break New Ground
With the official celebrity line-up for Strictly Come Dancing 2025 rumoured to be announced imminently, the betting market has already positioned model Ellie Goldstein as a standout early runner.
At 1/3 odds, she’s favourite to become the first contestant with Down syndrome featured in the full Strictly cast.
Alongside Goldstein, well-known names such as Dani Dyer, Stefan Dennis, and Sir Mo Farah are all priced up in the race to join this year’s Strictly roster.
Goldstein would follow in the footsteps of CBeebies presenter George Webster, who became the first Down syndrome Strictly contestant when appearing on the 2022 Christmas Special.
