Will is best known for being the winner of the first series of Pop Idol which was a precursor to The X Factor in 2002 and having a successful music career following his win including 4 UK number one albums and singles. Will will be hoping for a long career on Strictly and that he doesn’t “Leave Right Now” in the Dance Off!

Coral have opened the book on Will to win at 6/1 making him the clear favourite among the confirmed contestants (price correct at time of writing), prices could change as contestants are confirmed as the book includes rumoured contestants this year rather than just confirmed ones.
