Get ready to dance! Strictly Come Dancing is returning for its 21st season on September 23, and according to the MyBettingSites.co.uk Supercomputer, actor Adam Thomas might just be the one to lift this year’s Glitterball trophy. The Supercomputer, which accurately predicted last year’s winner, has analyzed the traits of previous champions and found that a 34-year-old male actor is the typical ballroom champion.
This year’s lineup includes Manchester-born actor Adam Thomas, who perfectly fits the bill of a potential winner with his gender, age, and occupation. TV presenters have also had great success on the show, with Ore Oduba and Natasha Kaplinsky among the previous winners. Sportspeople, such as Olympian Louis Smith and ex-cricketers Mark Ramprakash and Darren Gough, have also claimed victory in the past.
However, 20-year-old actor and model Bobby Brazier could make history as the youngest-ever winner if he takes home the crown. Despite his talent, his age puts him 14 years below the typical winning age. On the other end of the spectrum, TV presenter and former newsreader Angela Rippon could become the oldest winner in Strictly history at the age of 78, surpassing comedian Bill Bailey’s triumph at 55 in 2020.
Reality TV stars have had a tough time on the show, but Zara McDermott hopes to break that trend and become the first winner from her profession. A spokesperson for MyBettingSites.co.uk commented on the Supercomputer’s predictions, saying, “After successfully predicting last year’s winner, we had to bring back the Supercomputer for 2023.”
So, who should you bet on? While bookmakers favor Bobby Brazier at 7/2, considering the historical data of previous winners might lead you to actor Adam Thomas, who offers great value at 26/1. It’s time to place your bets and get ready for another thrilling season of Strictly Come Dancing!
