All Eyes On Scarlett
Former Gogglebox star and I’m A Celeb winner Scarlett Moffatt is no stranger to prime-time success, and her combination of charm, personality, and a strong partner in Vito Coppola has made her a firm favourite in the market.
Moffat was a semi-pro dancer growing up, competing in various events, so should be comfortable on the Strictly dancefloor.
This plays a big part in why the experts have placed her as the evens favourite to be crowned champion.
Boyzone’s Brian McFadden is second favourite at 2/1, while Melanie Blatt and rising star Jodie Ounsley, known from Gladiators as "Fury", sit close behind on 5/2.
Nicholas Bailey, best known as Dr. Anthony Trueman from EastEnders, and comedian Babatunde Aléshé round out the field, both given a 3/1.
