A Supercomputer has been hard at work analysing Strictly Come Dancing data and has predicted a surprising result for this year’s winner.
After scanning the archives and examining the records of past winners and contestants, the Super-brain believes there can be only one clear winner – and it isn’t any of the current “favourites” who are topping the leaderboard.
The Supercomputer has forecasted that EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick will emerge as the 2024 worthy winner – based on past experiences from the BBC One show.
According to the analysis, conducted by The http://BonusCodeBets.co.uk Supercomputer, which accurately selected 33/1 outsider Hamza Yassin to win in 2022, has scanned the characteristics of all previous 21 winners of the show, revealing that the typical ballroom champion for this year will be a 31-year-old male actor.
That means out of this year’s contenders, East-London born Jamie almost perfectly matches a typical winner through his gender, occupation and age (30), reports OK!.
Judging by historical victories, actors have scooped up an impressive seven victories out of 21. Last year’s winner proves this theory with Ellie Leach proving triumphant.
The list also includes the likes of Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher who also dazzled viewers and judges to eventually take the top of winner’s podium.
A spokesperson for http://BonusCodeBets.co.uk remarked: “With 21 years of the Glitterball trophy winners to analyse, the characteristics of a ‘typical winner’ clearly holds weight on who the Supercomputer says will be the victor this year.
“Knowing that history tends to repeat itself, we’re backing Jamie Borthwick to be enjoying a few celebratory pints in the Queen Vic in 12 weeks’ time.”
Currently, former Love Island contestant Tasha Ghouri is leading as the bookies’ favourite to win, with odds shifting from 5/1 to 3/1 after her impressive first live show performance, according to information provided by William Hill.
Before the series start, JLS band member JB Gill was favoured to win; however, his odds have since drifted to 9/2 following his initial performance with professional partner Amy Dowden.
Despite the fabulous dance routines securing them top spot on the leaderboard, a lively debate swirls about those with substantial dancing backgrounds like Tasha and JB joining the competition against total novices.
When appearing on ITV’s Lorraine, JB defended himself by stating, “All I can say is the only dance I did before was a jive. Other than that I have got no understanding of Ballroom or Latin dancing – other than what we did last week and this week with the Cha Cha – and it hurts.”
Strictly will air this evening on BBC1, from 19:15.
