The full line up for Strictly Come Dancing 2024 has been announced (Image: BBC) Max Bowden on how he thinks Jamie Borthwick will do on Strictly Strictly Come Dancing only announced the final additions to the line up yesterday (August 13) but with all 15 contestants now in place two controversial participants are standing out as possible winners. Love Island 's Tasha Ghouri and EastEnders Jamie Borthwick have both caught the eye of bookies in the early odds. Both have proved contentious choices for this year's show.
Tasha is a trained professional dancer whose announcement led to people on Instagram asking her whether her previous experience is an "unfair advantage". Addressing the controversy on Kiss FM she said: "I've not danced for quite a few years - since Love Island, my career is so different. It's such a different dance style, I may actually not be good at it, like ballet - I'm not good at ballet.
I'm trained in commercial street style. It's going to be very hard but I'm excited for a challenge." Meanwhile J amie's addition to the line up raised a few eyebrows as he won the Christmas special last year paired with Nancy Xu performing the Quickstep and transforming the dancefloor to a pub, in a special nod to EastEnders .
As a result, some viewers slammed his inclusion in the series as he became the latest 2024 star to be hit with a “fix” row . Tasha is currently the bookies favourite with odds of 4/1 while Jamie only trails narrowly behind at 5/1 according to SportsC.
