A supercomputer has made its prediction for the upcoming season of Dancing on Ice, and it looks like Ryan Thomas may be taking home the prestigious trophy. The BonusCodeBets.co.uk Supercomputer, known for correctly predicting last year’s Strictly Come Dancing winner, has analyzed the statistics of previous Dancing on Ice champions and determined that a 30-year-old male actor, paired with an English dance partner, has the highest chance of winning.
Despite being slightly older than the average winner, Thomas’s background as a male actor could work in his favor. His dance partner, Amani Fancy, is also English and has experience working with actors, having won the German edition of Dancing on Ice in 2019 with actor Eric Stehfest.
Actors have historically performed well on the show, with six of them claiming the top spot in the past 15 years. However, Thomas is aiming to become the first actor to win since former Eastenders star Joe Swash in 2020. Currently priced at 8/1, bookies have made Thomas the third most likely to win, with Made in Chelsea’s Miles Nazaire as the pre-show favorite. It’s worth noting that only one reality star has won the competition before – Jake Quickenden in 2018.
In addition to actors, three British sporting heroes – Greg Rutherford, Ricky Hatton, and Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards – will be competing for the title. They hope to follow in the footsteps of last year’s winner Nile Wilson and become only the fourth sportsperson to win the series.
Amber Davies, the 2017 Love Island winner who has been pursuing an acting career, will also be vying for the trophy. However, since the show relaunched in 2018, no female celebrity has won, with the last female victor being Beth Tweddle in 2013.
A spokesperson for BonusCodeBets.co.uk believes that Ryan Thomas has a great chance of winning, given his previous popularity with the British public when he won Celebrity Big Brother in 2018. The spokesperson also highlighted the presence of sporting royalty among the contestants, with Ricky Hatton, Greg Rutherford, and Eddie the Eagle aiming to add the Dancing on Ice trophy to their already impressive collections.
The new season of Dancing on Ice is sure to be filled with excitement and fierce competition as these celebrities showcase their skating skills. Who will ultimately take home the crown? We’ll have to wait and see!
