The Paralympic cyclist and former Paralympic swimmer is set to take to the BBC dancefloor on Saturday night. He is used to competitions having competed in multiple World Championships, winning 23 world titles. Jody will be wanting to add the Glitterball Trophy to his eight Gold, one Silver and three Bronze medals. However, the Great Britain star's chances have taken a dip. The 44-year-old has been dealt a blow thanks to the latest winning odds. Ladbrokes have placed Jody as 50/1 to win the popular dance show. He is their least likely to win by far, as news reader Krishnan Guru-Murthy has been placed at 40/1. Topping the list is EastEnders star Bobby Brazier, who has a 7/2 chance of winning. Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: "With Strictly back on our screens this weekend, betting is really starting to hot up. Bobby Brazier has emerged as the most popular celebrity in the line-up and he is now the one they all must beat as far as the odds are concerned.' He is closely followed by once favourite TV presenter Angela Scanlon at 5/1. On joining the line-up, Jody said: 'Excited to be welcomed into the Strictly family and throw myself head first into the world of ballroom dancing. So far away from what I'm used to, but I'm looking forward to the challenge and pushing myself way out of my comfort zone, especially as I'm always last onto the dance floor. Can't wait to get stuck in, bring on the glitter and sequins!' Strictly's 15 stars have all been working hard ahead of the launch show this weekend. They are contractually obliged to commit at least 12 hours of their week to training and refining their routines. However, for the professionals it's been rumoured that, depending on what the celebrity needs, it's not uncommon to spend over 12 hours a day pe){kind=link}
