Wild Youth frontman David Whelan has been backed into joint-favourite at odds of 3/1 alongside Galway-native Laura Fox, as the countdown to this year’s Dancing With The Stars is well underway.
Singing star, David has seen his odds slashed from 5/1 to 3/1 with BoyleSports to successfully transition from the stage to the sequin-filled dancefloor on this year’s show.
The songster is set to partner Georgian dancer, Salome Chachua, who made the 2022 final with Jordan Conroy.
Laura Fox has been long-time bookies’ favourite since all 11 celebrities were announced and punters continue to fancy the 2FM and Ireland’s Fittest Family host to go all the way at odds of 3/1.
From one RTÉ star to another, Rory Cowan will have his last dance in the public eye as he announced that he’d finish up his role in Fair City this year to enjoy his retirement.
Rory, who is no stranger to the stage with his roles in Mrs Brown’s Boys and a host of pantos, is a 7/1 shot to end his career on a high.
Brian O’Keeffe, spokesperson for BoyleSports said Wild Youth star David Whelan has been the punters’ pick in recent days for this year’s show, and he is now hot on the heels of long-term favourite Laura, as she bids to Fox-Trot her way to victory and lift that Glitterball trophy.”
