Kevin Kilbane Backed To Skate His Way To Success

Kevin Kilbane has become the latest contestant to be on the receiving end of a gamble for the next series of Dancing On Ice with his odds tumbling into 16/1 from 33/1 on Wednesday morning.

The ex-Premier League footballer was one of the first contestants to reveal they would be taking part, but he told us that his limited time on the ice makes it “a serious challenge.”

However punters’ confidence in the football pundit seems to be growing with his outside odds now more than halved.

English magician and presenter Ben Hanlin has also been a popular choice with his price slashed into 7/1 from 12/1 following a hive of activity on Tuesday evening. Michael Barrymore has also been trimmed to strike it lucky on the ice with his odds cut into 25/1 from 50/1.

They all have to beat a new favourite however in Perri Kiely, a member of dance group Diversity who were victorious in Britain’s Got Talent back in 2009. The Essex star has seen a massive amount of support over the past few days which has made him the 13/8 front runner from 9/4 having been as big as 11/2 a week ago.
