Singer’s All Fired Up to lift DWTS glitterball
EXCLUSIVE UNA Healy is the frontrunner to win the next series of Dancing With The Stars.
Ladbrokes have installed the former Saturdays singer, 42, as the 3/1 favourite to lift the glitterball trophy in 2024.
The bookies are tipping Tiktok star Tadgh Fleming and Pippa O’connor at 5/1, with Daniel O’donnell at 7/1 and rugby legend Johnny Sexton a 20/1 longshot.
RTE is remaining tight-lipped on the line-up for the seventh series of the reality show, but Tipperary star Una is rumoured to be among the contestants.
Nicola Mcgeady of Ladbrokes said: “Excitement around the return of Dancing With The Stars is at fever pitch and if the latest odds are to be believed, Una Healy could well be sashaying her way to victory on the famous ballroom floor.”
The bookies is offering odds on a number of celebrities subject to them going on the show, with nutritionist Roz Pucell at 6/1 and rugby ace Rory Best at 8/1.
This week it emerged that O’donnell, 61, was in the running to jive across the dancefloor with a 7/1 chance of taking home the gong.
The country music star is no stranger to dancing, having taken part in the UK’S Strictly Come Dancing in 2015 where he was the third celebrity to exit the competition.
Other names in the mix include Greg O’shea (8/1), Kathryn Thomas (16/1), Joanne Mcnally (16/1) and Vogue Williams (20/1).
Show boss Larry Bass told us: “There are always names floating around every year and some are right and most are wrong.”
Former newsreader Eileen Dunne and Wild Youth’s David Whelan are also hotly tipped to take part.
If the latest odds are to be believed, Una Healy could well be sashaying her way to victory
