Ramprakash: 'Strictly final so close'

Former Strictly Come Dancing champion Mark Ramprakash has said that this Saturday's final is impossible to predict.

The cricketer, who won the contest with Karen Hardy in 2006, said that Lisa Snowdon, Rachel Stevens and Tom Chambers have all improved greatly as the competition has progressed.

"They're so hard to separate," he told Claudia Winkleman on Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two. "I was amazed with Lisa. Rachel's come so good, she looks like another Alesha [Dixon, last year's champion]."

However, Ramprakash singled out Chambers as his bet to take the crown, saying that the Holby City actor has done well for a dancing novice.

He added: "They're all of such a high standard. They have taken it to another level."
