Strictly’s John Whaite on who could win this year’s dancing competition

Strictly Come Dancing runner-up John Whaite has offered his thoughts on who might get their hands on this year’s trophy.

The baker, who won the third series of the Great British Bake Off, was part of the first ever male same-sex pairing on the show with professional dancer Johannes Radebe.

“I am excited about them, I think Angela Rippon is going to be amazing,” Whaite said of the upcoming series.

“Layton [Williams]... That kid is a star, darling. I can’t wait to see what he does... I’ll be watching every week.”
