In 2023, three actors/actresses made it to the final, with the eventual winner of the Strictly Come Dancing series 21 being Ellie Leach, who was most known for her role in Coronation Street.
Heading into its 22nd series, Strictly Come Dancing is as popular as ever, and now a much more popular betting market than ever before with many people looking to extract some value from the dancing show that is on each Saturday night.
This year sees an impressive lineup including former X-Factor winner Shayne Ward, TOWIE star Pete Wicks, former professional footballer Paul Merson, JB Gill from boyband JLS, as well as many more.

No promotions have been specifically designed for Strictly Come Dancing 2024, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t claim free bets by placing a wager on the dancing show.
For example, with Betfred you are able to bet £10 on any sportsbook market, which includes Strictly Come Dancing odds, provided the selection is at 1/1 (2.0) or better.
