However, ahead of the show's long-awaited start date, TV legend Les, 69, has already been dealt a huge blow as bookies are predicting that he could be the first contestant booted out of the new series as the likes of EastEnders star Bobby Brazier and Love Island's Zara McDermott top the poll. Speaking to The Mirror, Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Bobby Brazier has stormed into favourite spot in this year's Strictly betting after a flurry of interest from punters. Les Dennis will take to the dancefloor as the rank outsider to go all the way, if he's up there come the end of the series, I'll give you the money myself." Former Coronation Street star Les is ranked at a Les Dennis 33/1 chance of winning the show, while EastEnders star Bobby, comes in at 7/2. Les has been in showbiz for over 50 years, including famously hosting Family Fortunes for 16 years. His TV career includes roles in Extras, Brookside, Death in Paradise and Midsomer Murders and two years in Coronation Street. After the news was revealed on Good Morning Britain last week, Les said: 'I'm thrilled to be doing this iconic wonderful show as I approach my 70th birthday. In my career I've always gone for challenges outside my comfort zone and this is the ultimate one! Can't wait.' Before he was announced, a source told Mail Online: "The viewers are going to love Les. He is a TV icon and now he will be dancing on one of the most popular shows around. He might be about to turn 70 but he is a showman and he will be great entertainment for those watching at home. There is genuine excitement about Les taki){kind=link}
