Helen Flanagan favourite to appear on Strictly Come Dancing

The actress who played Rosie Webster in ITV’s Coronation Street is one of the names bookies are taking bets on for the forthcoming series…

The Strictly Come Dancing speculation is coming thick and fast with less than four months to go until the Class of 2025 step foot on the dancefloor. Here, ATV Today Entertainment look at who is set to take part this year. Thanks to Gambling.com Entertainment expert, James Leyfield who has created an updated market on who could take part in Strictly 2025.

Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has made no secret of her desire to return to the cobbles recently, and she has also set her sights on Strictly Come Dancing. She is 5/6 favourite to be part of this year’s BBC One series.

Another star who could be in contention for a Strictly appearance is celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. Gordon is a 7/2 chance to take part in this year’s celebrity ballroom battle, just shorter than 4/1 chance Craig Rowe.

Thomas Skinner is just 11/10 to swap chowing down on Christmas dinners for breakfast – as he does every December – for the Cha-Cha-Cha later this year. Another Tom could also be taking part – in the shape of Queen Camilla’s son, Tom Parker Bowles. He is just 13/8 to appear in Strictly 2025, while former Made in Chelsea star Toff is sandwiched in between the Toms at 6/4.

Others in contention for a go at the dancefloor include ex-EastEnders actress Shona McGarty (2/1) and former rugby union star Danny Cipriani (5/2).
