Following the Strictly 2024 launch, Jamie Borthwick has been tipped to win.
Former Corrie star Shayne Ward was recently named as the bookie’s favourite to win.
The X Factor winner upon announcing he was joining the line-up stated he was “buzzing to see all of the sparkles and magic that is Strictly in real life”.
He added: “I’m no stranger to live TV, but dancing Latin and Ballroom in front of millions is a whole new level. No promises on my dancing ability, but I will give it my best shot!”
Now, according to a Supercomputer, another soap star could take home the Glitterball.
Shayne Ward is already a Strictly favourite
According to Betway, Shayne was the current favorite to take home the Glitterball trophy with his odds of winning standing at 7/2 before the launch show.
JLS star JB Gill and former Love Island contestant Tasha Ghouri are in second place with a joint 4/1.
Despite winning the Strictly Christmas special last year, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick comes in at third place with 11/2.
It’s bad news for DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles and opera singer Wynne Evans, however, as the pair are at the very bottom with 33/1.
Jamie Borthwick predicted as Strictly winner
Despite Shayne being a Strictly favourite, a Supercomputer has since suggested that it could be Jamie lifting the Glitterball trophy.
The BonusCodeBets.co.uk Supercomputer, which correctly selected 33/1 outsider Hamza Yassin to win in 2022, has revealed that the typical ballroom champion is a 31-year-old male actor.
Evidently, Jamie, 30, matches the winning description.
A spokesperson for BonusCodeBets.co.uk said: “With 21 years of the Glitterball trophy winners to analyse, the characteristics of a ‘typical winner’ clearly holds weight on who the Supercomputer says will be the victor this year.
“Knowing that history tends to repeat itself, we’re backing Jamie Borthwick to be enjoying a few celebratory pints in the Queen Vic in 12 weeks’ time.”
