JLS singer JB Gill is the favourite to win Strictly Come Dancing this year, but it's not looking good for Nick Knowles as the DIY SOS host has seen his odds tumble
JLS star JB Gill is currently leading the pack as the favourite to win this year's Strictly Come Dancing , following the unveiling of the couples during the launch show. However, things aren't looking too bright for Nick Knowles, as the DIY SOS presenter has seen his chances of winning plummet.
Former boy band member JB was already the bookie's choice to win the coveted Glitterball this year even before the celebrities were matched up with their professional partners. But after he was paired with returning Amy Dowden - who was awarded an MBE this year for her services to fundraising and raising awareness of Crohn's disease - JB's odds of victory were shortened still further.
Love Island's Tasha Ghouri, paired with Aljaz Skorjanec - who is returning to the show after a two-year break - is the second favourite according to bookmakers at 11/2. Former X Factor winner Shayne Ward, set to dance with Nancy Xu, is third favourite at 6/1.
