I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • Zoe Ball 2/1 favourite to replace Claudia Winkleman as Strictly presenter.
  • Janette Manrara and Fleur East follow at 3/1 in the betting.
  • Dani Dyer’s withdrawal sees Lewis Cope 5/2 favourite for Strictly 2025 Glitterball Trophy.

Who Could Replace Claudia Winkleman?

Strictly Come Dancing faces the possibility of a presenting shake-up after reports in the Express suggested Claudia Winkleman may step down from her role alongside Tess Daly.

Bookmakers have already priced up the market, with Zoe Ball emerging as 2/1 favourite. 

Ball previously hosted Strictly spin-off It Takes Two, giving her both the experience and credibility to step seamlessly into the role.

Close behind are current It Takes Two presenters Janette Manrara and Fleur East, both priced at 3/1. 

Manrara’s long history on the show as a professional dancer could give her an edge with viewers, while East’s charisma and presenting experience makes her another strong contender.

What the expert says...
Zoe Ball is a natural fit if Claudia goes, but Strictly loves a surprise and Rylan and Holly Willoughby can’t be ruled out. On the dancefloor, Lewis Cope’s short price shows just how much Dani Dyer’s injury has shaken up the market.

Strictly Winner Market Update

Strictly’s first live show kicks off Saturday night, but the lineup has already been rocked by Dani Dyer’s withdrawal through injury earlier this week. 

Dyer had been among the frontrunners to win the Glitterball Trophy.

Her exit has switched up the market with Lewis Cope remaining favourite at 5/2 and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Vicky Pattison and George Clarke all tied at 5/1. 

Ellie Goldstein sits just behind at 11/2.
