The 2022 series of Strictly Come Dancing doesn't start for a few weeks, but there's an early favourite with the bookies. Singer Fleur East has been named as the pick to walk away with this year's glitterball trophy.
Bookmakers Ladbrokes are offering odds of 7/2 on The X Factor runner-up winning the series. Her biggest competition is TV presenter Helen Skelton and former Britain’s Got Talent finalist Molly Rainford, according to the betting company – who have placed both their odds at 6/1, reports PA.
This comes after the BBC confirmed the 15 famous faces who will take to the dancefloor when the competition returns in September. There is currently a four-way tie for the next most likely to clinch the crown – with Paralympic swimming gold medallist Ellie Simmonds, Coronation Street actors Will Mellor and Kym Marsh and Kiss radio host Tyler West all placed at 8/1 odds.
