We now know the complete lineup for Strictly Come Dancing 2024.
The 22nd series of the nation’s favourite dancing show will kick off with a launch show rumoured to be released on BBC One on Saturday 14th September, but as yet unconfirmed.
What is confirmed is the full lineup of celebs, so we take a look at who the bookies think will get their hands on the coveted Strictly Come Dancing crown.
15 celebrities will take to the famous floor, made up of the usual mix of musicians, presenters, sports stars, actors and comedians.
Strictly Lineup 2024
One of the more controversial names on the Strictly 2024 lineup is ex-Love Islander, Tasha Ghouri, who is a trained dancer. But, having a head start hasn’t always led to victory…
She’s joined by fellow celebs who found fame on reality TV, both via the X Factor, in JLS’ JB Gill and series two winner, Shayne Ward. TOWIE’s Pete Wicks is the final reality star to join.
The sporting contingent is made up of former England and Arsenal man, Paul Merson, triple Olympic gold medallist fresh from Paris, swimmer Tom Dean, as well as fellow golden girl Sam Quek, and runner turned bobsledder turned gladiator, Montell Douglas.
The remaining spots are made up of Eastenders actor, Jamie Borthwick, Miranda co-star, Sarah Hadland, presenter Nick Knowles, comedian Chris McCausland, Morning Live doctor, Punam Krishan, and the lineup is rounded off by singers Toyah Wilcox and Mr Go Compare, Wynne Evans.

Who is the favourite to win Strictly 2024?
Unsurprisingly, it’s Tasha Ghouri who comes in as the bookies' favourite with Betfred placing her at 7/2 to take the crown. Shayne Ward and JB Gill are hot on her heels given their performing backgrounds, with Ward at 6/1 and Gill at 7/1 both with bet365.

Jamie Borthwick slots in between the pair of X Factor finalists, coming in at 5/1 with bet365. But, it’s Sarah Hadland who has taken the second-most bets placed behind Ghouri at 17%. With 18/1 offered again by bet365, could Hadlan be the dark horse?
Wynne Evans finds himself at the bottom of the list at 40/1, only slightly bettered by Punam Krishan at 33/1 and Toyah Wilcox at 25/1. They’ll all be hoping to spring a surprise come the first dance in September.
