SportsCasting spokesman Andy Newton, said: “With the Strictly class of 2024 line-up starting to take shape the oddsmakers have been beavering away pricing up the betting.

“Jamie, who plays Jay in the hit soap, caught the eye of show bosses after scoring a perfect 40 in one of their festive dances. With that experience under his belt looks like a cracking bet at 4/1 to win the 20th anniversary of the show.”
In addition, he said: “Just ahead of Borthwick in the betting is Love Islander Tasha Ghouri at 4/1. But at slightly bigger prices, former hockey star Sam ‘Quek-step’ could go well at 10/1, while singers JB Gill and Shayne Ward, who are both 7/1, could easily have the X Factor on the dancefloor too.”
