Holly Valance and McFly's Harry Judd are joint early favourites to triumph in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The pair were among the 14 famous faces confirmed to take part in the ninth series of the BBC competition. Also taking part are ex-EastEnders star Anita Dobson, former MP Edwina Currie and actor Jason Donovan.
Reacting to the lineup announcement, bookies William Hill made actress-turned-popstar Valance and Judd the 4/1 favourites to pick up the glitter ball at the end of the series.
The duo are closely followed by Daybreak's Dan Lobb at 5/1 and ex-Neighbours star Donovan at 11/2.
"The lineup has the usual mix of the good, the bad and the ugly and this year's show looks like it has the potential to keep the nation hooked once again," a spokesman said.
Meanwhile, Hills - who hope that up to £1m will be bet during the upcoming series, have named Currie and astrologer Russell Grant 50/1 outsiders.
Strictly Come Dancing kicks off with the red carpet show this Saturday at 6.10pm on BBC One.
