The Top Contenders
So, who are the front-runners in the competition? Let's take a look at the odds provided by Ladbrokes:
Ellie and Vito – 1/9
Actress Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola are being tipped to win Strictly Come Dancing 2023. The Coronation Street star and her pro partner have impressed the judges every week and were the first to go through to the final. Will their chemistry on and off the dance floor lead them to victory?
Layton and Nikita – 8/1
Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin have also caught the attention of both the judges and the audience. With two perfect scores under their belt, they have a real shot at Glitterball glory. If they win, they will make history as the first same-sex couple to be crowned champions.
Bobby and Dianne – 12/1
Actor and model Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell are predicted by the bookies to place third. Despite finding themselves in the dance-off on multiple occasions, they have proven to be popular with both the judges and viewers. Can they defy the odds and come out on top?
