Bets on for Gary Lineker and Nigel Farage to appear on Strictly
Farage and Lineker among potential Strictly Come Dancing contenders…
Gary Lineker is among the leading candidates to appear on the next series of Strictly Come Dancing, according to William Hill. After announcing he will be stepping down from Match of the Day this year, Lineker is a 6/1 chance to take to the ballroom later this year.
Singer Nicola Roberts is the 11/4 market leader, ahead of Jill Scott (7/2) and Tommy Fury (9/2). Also in the betting are Reform UK leader, and GB News regular, Nigel Farage (8/1), former World Darts Champion Phil Taylor (9/1) and Brooklyn Beckham (10/1).
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps:
“The Strictly Come Dancing rumour mill is already beginning to turn and Gary Lineker’s name has been thrown into the hat to appear on the next series. With his Match of the Day duties coming to an end, we make Lineker a 6/1 chance to swap the green room for the ballroom later this year.
“Others in the running are Nicola Roberts, whom we make the 11/4 favourite, as well as football royalty from the women’s game in Jill Scott (7/2). Tommy Fury is in contention at 9/2, while Nigel Farage’s inclusion would certainly cause a stir at 8/1!”
