Who Will Likely Leave at the Start of the Series?
Unfortunately, some of the above contestants are likely to have two left feet, which may stop them from walking away with the Glitterball Trophy this year.
At present, Nick Knowles is the favorite to leave the competition early in the series, as he might be more used to sanding floors than dancing on them.
However, he may have a little bit of rhythm hiding under his Hi-Viz, as his three sisters are professional dancers, meaning he could be a dark horse.
Paul Merson is known for his footwork on the pitch, but it may not extend to the dancefloor. As he’s quite a character on Sky Sports, he could provide much comedic value at the very least.
Dr Punam Krishan may have spent more time reading textbooks and treating patients than dancing. As a practicing NHS GP, she might not have the time or energy to give the show her all and could leave the competition early. However, she is more than capable of handling the pressure of the Strictly Come Dancing schedule and fame.
Most people know Wynne Evans is a great singer from the Go Compare adverts, but is he a great dancer? Audiences will need to tune in to see if he’s light on his feet and capable of tackling challenging dance forms, such as the Quickstep, Tango, Foxtrot, and Samba.
Toyah Willcox knows how to bust a move, and her TikToks are proof. For this reason, you can expect she will give it her all when joining the show this September. However, her competitive desire to win the show may prevent the audience from warming to the 66-year-old singer/actress, which might force her to leave the show earlier than she hopes.
Pete Wicks will check another box on his reality TV resume when appearing on Strictly Come Dancing this year. While his best friend Sam Thompson, the current King of the Jungle, will undoubtedly be cheering him on at the sidelines, it’s unclear if Wicks has the talent to lift the Glitterball Trophy or if the only way is Essex for him.
