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 9/2 shot to land one of the roles from next series.
