The bookmakers have already been sharing their predictions about which celebrity could win Strictly Come Dancing this year – with Layton Williams and Bobby Brazier tipped as the clear frontrunners.
However, they have also been sharing their thoughts on which professional dancer will be lifting the Glitterball Trophy this year.
According to the team at OLBG, Giovanni Pernice is the current favourite to win with odds standing at 8/1.
This would make it the second time for Giovanni as he won the 2021 series with Rose Ayling-West.
Although, the Italian dancer’s co-star Gorka Marquez has been dealt a crushing blow as he is the least favourite to win the show with odds of 14/1.

A BonusCodeBets spokesperson shared: “TV legend Les Dennis became the latest name to be added to the star-studded Strictly Come Dancing line-up but the bookies haven’t handed him the best chance of winning by making him 33/1 to go all the way and seal a memorable victory.
“Bobby Brazier is the 4/1 favourite to win with Layton Williams hot on his heels at 5/1.”
