Strictly Come Dancing 2016 – Launch Show Discussion/Poll

The launch show may not contain any surprises for anyone who has read the Launch Show Spoiler but there still will a be a lot to talk about I’m sure both during and after the launch show airs. And what better place to do it than here at the home of the Strictly Spoiler.

You can join the discussion right here in the comments section and tell me what you think or over on Facebook or Twitter. Don’t forget to head on over to Facebook if you want to enter the first competition of the 2016 series. See the Facebook page for details.

A poll will open once all the pairings have been revealed on the Launch Show. Will Young is currently your early favourite but now you know the partnerships has that changed? You can let me know by voting in the poll when it opens.

As always if you could give this post some love using the buttons for all popular social networks and google+ above and below. It really does help me out and helps spread the word about The Strictly Spoiler.

I also need to let you know that at some point in the next two weeks the site will temporarily go down for maintenance as I move the site to a new host to allow me to keep it up during peak periods once the results spoilers start to roll in. Don’t worry if you can’t get on I haven’t gone anywhere and the BBC haven’t silenced me! Once the site has moved the web address will remain the same so you don’t need to update your bookmarks!

Strictly Come Dancing 2016 – Betting Update

With the line up now complete it’s time to take a look at the betting with Coral and see who the early favourites are.

Outright Winner (Each Way 1/5 odds a place 1,2,3)

Claudia Fragapane – 7/2
Will Young – 4/1
Danny Mac – 6/1
Laura Whitmore – 7/1
Louise Redknapp – 10/1
Daisy Lowe – 10/1
Ore Oduba – 11/1
Greg Rutherford – 14/1
Robert Rinder – 16/1
Melvin Odoom – 20/1
Naga Munchetty – 20/1
Anastacia Newkirk – 25/1
Tameka Empson – 33/1
Lesley Joseph – 100/1
Ed Balls – 100/1

Claudia is the early favourite with punters hoping she will follow in the footsteps of fellow gymnast Louis Smith who won the series in 2012. Will Young who was the early favourite until Claudia was announced isn’t far behind her with the punters. At the other end of the book Lesley Joseph and Ed Balls are the outsiders both on 100-1. At the age of 70 it’s hard to see how Lesley will last more than a few weeks but older contestants have surprised us before so you never know and her popularity may keep her in longer than her 100-1 price would suggest. Ed spectacularly lost his seat last year and is widely expected to lose his place on Strictly sooner rather than later.
