DIY SOS Presenter Nick Knowles is the 5/2 favourite to be the first celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing
This year's series of Strictly Come Dancing is almost upon us and UK Betting Sites are now offering odds on who will be the first celebrity to leave the show this year with an early favourite in the market.
Presenter Nick Knowles leads the betting market at 5/2 to be the first celebrity voted off with the show expected to be a highly competitive series for 2024 with a whole host of impressive celebrities taking part.
DIY SOS host Knowles has dancing feet in his family with his three sisters all professional dancers and he'll be looking to hopefully take tips from them ahead of being on Strictly.
Paddy Power's latest betting odds though say he's the favourite to be the first celebrity who is voted off with the latest market giving an implied probability of 28.6% that he is the first out this year.

What the expert says...
Tasha Ghouri and Jamie Borthwick are 5/1 joint favourites to win show
Further betting odds are also available with bookies making former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and Eastenders actor Jamie Borthwick the 5/1 joint favourites to win the show this year.
Ghouri is the second deaf contestant to appear on the show after actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, who won Strictly Come Dancing back in 2021, and she'll be wanting a similar performance.
Borthwick won the Christmas edition of Strictly just last year and he'll be hoping to use that experience to help him win the main show this time around.

Johannes Radebe is the favourite to be the winning professional on this year's Strictly
All eyes are on the Strictly professionals this year after a summer of controversy around the pros on the show saw two leave due to allegations made about their conduct.
There are leaders in the market to win the show though as a pro, with Johannes Radebe the 6/1 favourite to be the winner for the first time in his Strictly career.
Radebe has not yet won Strictly in his five series on the show with his best placing coming back on series 19 where he came second with chef John Whaite.
The odds say there's a 14.3% chance that he wins the show though this year with last year's winning professional Vito Coppola just behind in the market.
