Love Island winner Amber Gill is the latest showbiz name tipped to join the Strictly Come Dancing line-up for the upcoming series.
The former beauty therapist, 23, won the ITV2 dating show last summer – but is she about to scoop up the glitterball trophy?
Bookies have revealed that they’ve seen a rush in Strictly bets on the ITV2 dating show star.
The influencer is said to be at odds of 10-11, ahead of the unveiling of the confirmed line-up.
Coral’s Harry Aitkenhead said: “There was no Love Island this summer but we think we’ll be seeing plenty of last year’s winner on our screens this autumn.

“We make Amber odds on to be a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.”
Just months after winning the Love Island prize with Greg O’Shea, Amber was left heartbroken after the Irish hunk reportedly dumped her by text.
Maybe she’ll find love on Strictly, as the show is known for stirring romances between celebs and the professional dancers.
It was revealed last week that Strictly bosses are concerned that stars will swerve the dancing show for pantomime roles instead.

According to reports, celebs may want to avoid quarantining with their partners for three months.
However, producers are insisting they won’t force celebs and pros to isolate together, and instead plan to create a “bubble” system with regular testing.
A source told The Sun: “Lockdown has hit many celebrities very, very hard in the pocket.
“Like everyone else many of them haven’t been working at all. So, as lockdown lifts and work offers come in, they need to balance the opportunities with how much of their time it will take up.”

They continued: “Many are also holding out for the chance to do panto if the theatres are reopened.
“That’s a massive, massive earner for many celebs. If you appear in Strictly it’s possible to combine the two but not easy.
“That’s especially the case with the new rules around social distancing which means actors and actresses need to be careful about how many other people they mix with.”
After winning Love Island, Amber was in the running to appear on Dancing On Ice.
However, she didn’t land a place on the line-up – as bosses reportedly favoured Maura Higgins.
