After Len Goodman, former head judge on BBC One's flagship show Strictly Come Dancing, admitted that he misses his old stomping ground, bookmakers have halved the odds of him returning to the panel for next year’s series.
A spokesperson for Paddy Power commented: “Len may think Shirley is doing a ‘wonderful job’ but it’s looking increasingly likely that he’ll waltz in and steal her spot on the judging panel.”
The current joint favourites to win the dancing competition, at 2/1, are Holby City actor Joe McFadden and TV personality and radio presenter Debbie McGee.
