Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “With the Strictly couples being announced on Saturday night, the contestants had their first taste of the dancefloor and former sprinter Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and media personality Vicky Pattison seem to have already struck a chord with punters.
“Aikines-Aryeetey has been a major mover in our outright market since the opening night of the 2025 series, shortening significantly into 6/1 from 14/1, while Pattison has also proved popular, coming into 7/1 from 10/1, with both contestants being paired with professionals that know the way to the Strictly final.
“Lewis Cope remains the 11/4 favourite, followed by Ellie Goldstein at 9/2, but it’s certainly all to play for ahead of the first dance week.”
