Strictly Come Dancing 2017 odds

1. Aston Merrygold – the most likely winner?

The handsome X-Factor alumni, Aston Merrygold was announced as a contestant on the 11th of August, causing a mild uproar among the show’s fans. The 29-year-old singer is well-known for his energetic dance routines, which granted him a place in the judge’s panel of Got to Dance. You might think it’s unfair to cast him on Strictly Come Dancing, but that didn’t stop bookmakers to award him with the best odds.

2. Mollie King – there’s always place for some glamour!

The next ‘The Saturdays’ band member after Frankie Bridge to appear on Strictly Come Dancing is Mollie King. The gorgeous and talented King has high expectations to come up to, as her bandmate made it to the final in 2014. Besides being one of the fan favorites, she has been given plenty of trust by bookmakers as well.

3. Alexandra Burke – last but definitely not least.

Alexandra Burke was the final contestant to be announced for the 2017’s season of Strictly Come Dancing. It will be interesting to see show’s ratings will end up, in comparison with X-Factor, the show that made Alexandra Burke famous, which will run in the same time slot. “I am very nervous as I am a singer not a dancer, but I am going to give this my absolute everything and try my best to make everyone proud,” she said to the Mirror.
