Bookies give odds on different politicians appearing on Strictly Come Dancing this year

With announcements imminent on who will be in the 2024 cast of Strictly Come Dancing, UK Betting Sites continue to offer odds on who could be a part of the massive BBC show this year.

Ladbrokes betting market solely focuses on current and former politicians being on the show this year with the latest odds putting retired politician Michael Gove as the 5/1 favourite to appear.

Gove could well be swapping the Conservative Party for the Strictly Ballroom this summer with previous appearances by Politicians on the show throwing up some iconic moments.

Not many are bigger than Ed Balls, with the former Labour MP making it as far as Week 10 on the show with his dance to 'Gangnam Style' often shown in highlight reels of iconic moments on television.

Now though we could have another politician follow in his footsteps with an appearance on the show as Gove is followed in the market by big names such as Nadine Dorries and Penny Mordaunt.

Reports are already hinting at some celebrities who will star in the show

Earlier this week we saw various news sources across the UK start to report on potential stars who will appear on Strictly this year with The Sun saying former Arsenal player Paul Merson has signed up.

The Sky Sports pundit has reportedly signed a six-figure deal to head onto the Strictly ballroom this year as he looks to transfer his quick football feet to dancing.

Former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri has also reportedly signed up which may prove controversial due to her previous experience as a professional dancer.

Ghouri also once was said to have dated under-fire Giovanni Pernice, who has left the show following a series of incidents in Strictly's 'abuse' scandal.

Ellie Leach won last year's series of Strictly Come Dancing

Former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach was crowned winner of last year's series of Strictly Come Dancing after one of the most competitive finals in the show's history.

Leach was a long-time favourite as the show went on with bookies shortening her odds week-by-week following a journey that saw her become an amateur to a fantastic dancer.

The actress was partnered alongside Vito Coppola and won the final ahead of Bobby Brazier and Layton Williams, with Leach expected to return in the opening show this year for a performance.
