Rachael Blackmore Joins Strictly Betting Market After Career Change

Following her recent retirement from professional horse racing, Rachael Blackmore has been added to the betting for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing line-up with Betting Sites pricing her at 3/1 to swap the saddle for sequins in 2025.

The trailblazing jockey would become the first from the sport to feature on the hit BBC show and adds another curveball to what’s already shaping up to be an unpredictable cast.

William Hill's latest market implies a 25% probability that Blackmore will be swapping the racecourse for the ballroom later this year.

BBC will be wanting to get some massive names involved this year with viewing figures down during last year's series.

What the expert says...
Blackmore’s entry into the Strictly market makes perfect sense post-retirement. She’s well known, respected, and would bring a fresh story to the dancefloor.

Market Movers and Fan Favourites

Nicola Roberts has held firm at the top of the betting since earlier this year and remains the 11/4 favourite, while Tommy Fury and Jill Scott are both familiar faces in the reality and sports world and continue to attract speculative support.

Also in the mix are Hannah Waddingham, tipped for a big TV year, and Gary Lineker although him leaving the BBC this week may have stopped any chances of that happening.

We should start to see the line-up released around August with the show kicking off in September usually.
