Country star Cliona is hot favourite to win at 5/1

CLIONA Hagan is the hot favourite to win Dancing With The Stars as the ladies battle kicks into gear this weekend.

The country singer has odds of 5/1 to nab a victory as she squares off with other female celeb rivals.

Her odds shot up after a flawless display last week which saw her gain a flurry of support from fans and an impressed stance from the judges.

Model Holly Carpenter is the second favourite in the ladies line-up, with odds of 7/1, Boylesports said.

Spokesperson Aoife Heffron added: “Cliona Hagan showed she may already be working with some impressive moves and the entertainer in her definitely shone in the group dance last week, which is undoubtedly what spurred punters to back her into 5/1 from 7/1.

“We will be keeping a close eye on the country star this weekend as she takes to the dance floor for her first performance with professional partner Robert Rowinski.”
