back? (Image: BBC)

It comes as fans are already beginning to speculate who might be on the show when it returns
later this year.

The show has seen many soap-stars grace the Strictly dance floor over the years and this year
looks to be no different.

Jack P Shepherd, who plays David Platt in Coronation Street, is currently amongst the favourites
of bookmakers to sign-up this year.

The Corrie favourite is at 4/5 odds to take part in this year’s edition according to Coral - could he
be the latest star from the cobbles to put on his dancing shoes?

Harry Aitkenhead of Coral said: “Soap stars are always hugely popular on Strictly and we think
another Weatherfield resident could be strutting their stuff on the dancefloor this winter.

“Jack seems absolutely perfect for the show and we make him odds on to be a contestant in the
next series," said Coral's Harry Aitkenhead.

Another star who looks to be making a return to the upcoming series is Jamie Laing, who was
forced to pull out of last year’s competition after sustaining a foot injury in the first group number
of the series.

The Made In Chelsea star was due to be partnered with Oti Mabuse, who later went onto win the
competition with Kelvin Fletcher.

However, it seems as though Jamie is ready to take to the floor once more but will he be on this
year's line-up?
