What the expert says...
Betting Insight
The markets reflect Skinner’s growing profile in both entertainment and politics.
His 2/1 price to stand in the next General Election hints that bookies see genuine potential for a move into politics, while 7/2 on him winning a Reform UK seat suggests longer odds on electoral success.
In the ballroom, Skinner is 33/1 to win Strictly 2025, making him one of the outsiders for the Glitterball Trophy.
However, his personality and public appeal could see him defy the odds if he builds momentum with the voting audience.
Meanwhile, novelty markets such as 150/1 to win Strictly and become Mayor of London show Ladbrokes are having fun with Skinner’s unpredictable career trajectory.
