Bobby Brazier to Reap the Greatest Rewards
Strictly Come Dancing runner-up Bobby Brazier is set to make £2 million over the coming year. Despite being beaten in the final by actress Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola, Bobby, 20, is expected to have the most success following his profile-boosting appearance on the show. The BBC is eyeing him up to present a travelogue show with his dad Jeff, and he is also likely to receive offers for West End shows, record deals, and ad appearances.
Beeb Bosses Keen to Keep Bobby with the Corporation
Bobby, the son of the late reality star Jade Goody, is considered home-grown talent as he got his big TV break on EastEnders. The BBC is eager to keep him on board and is planning to offer him various projects, including the travelogue show, to entice him to stay. Involving his dad Jeff is seen as a smart move to capitalize on their bond and raised profiles.
Ellie Leach Set to Host Top BBC Show
Meanwhile, Ellie Leach, 22, is predicted to host a top BBC show and become a millionaire by the age of 24. As a former Coronation Street star, she is seen as having the potential to become a huge star on stage and screen. With rumors of a romance with dance partner Vito, Ellie and Vito could become the next power couple, like Gorka and Gemma Atkinson, and make numerous personal appearances and performances.
Ellie's Success on Strictly
Ellie was the favorite to win the final on Saturday, having never been in the bottom two throughout the series and finishing as the highest-scoring woman this year. Despite a scare during one of her dances, she lifted the Glitterball Trophy and expressed her gratitude for the life-changing opportunity and the experience of dancing with Vito every week.
Layton Williams has a Glittering Future
Actor Layton Williams, 29, who was a runner-up with his pro partner Nikita Kuzmin, is also expected to have a successful career ahead of him. Head judge Shirley Ballas was seen consoling the pair after the winner was announced.
