Strictly Come Dancing odds: Surprise name in the running for hosting gig
Holly Willoughby could be set for a sensational return to our screens next year, according to the latest Strictly Come Dancing next host odds released by Ladbrokes.
Following Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly's shock exits as Strictly Come Dancing presenters, announced on October 23, the bookies have installed Willoughby as just a 5/1 shot to land one of the roles from next series.

Elsewhere, Fleur East and Zoe Ball are the two favourites, with Janette Manrara, Roman Kemp and Rylan Clark rounding out the top five.
Hannah Waddingham and the aforementioned Willoughby sit just behind, with Alex Scott, Stacey Dooley, Emma Willis, Alesha Dixon and Alison Hammond the only other names priced shorter than 10/1.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: It's all change on the Strictly presenter front, and with a whole host of familiar faces heading the betting, Holly Willoughby has now emerged as a surprise contender for one of the vacancies.
Before are the odds for the 21 favourites to become one of the next Strictly Come Dancing hosts when Winkleman and Daly step aside at the end of the current series.
It's worth noting that we're in the midst of a series of Strictly Come Dancing, with social media influencer George Clarke the clear front-runner to win the 2025 series and walk away with the Glitterball Trophy.
