Heading into its 22nd series, Strictly Come Dancing is as popular as ever, and now a much more popular betting market than ever before with many people looking to extract some value from the dancing show that is on each Saturday night.

This year sees an impressive lineup including former X-Factor winner Shayne Ward, TOWIE star Pete Wicks, former professional footballer Paul Merson, JB Gill from boyband JLS, as well as many more.
