Who do you think will be the ultimate champion of Strictly Come Dancing? As a fan of the BBC's beloved dance competition, I have been pondering this question for quite some time. But, believe it or not, I may have found a clue that reveals the winner's identity within the show's opening moments.
After some serious number-crunching, fellow Reddit user MorningMist13 has come to the conclusion that a celebrity's position in the title credits may determine their fate on the show. Using data from all 21 completed seasons, they have discovered that the star placed in the sixth spot has the highest chances of winning. This position has produced three previous winners and six finalists, making it the most successful spot for a celebrity to be in. So, according to their calculations, footballer Paul Merson, who is paired with Karen Hauer, is the front-runner for the Strictly Come Dancing 2024 crown.

However, MorningMist13 has also discovered that position 13 has the worst odds of winning. No celebrity in this spot has ever won the show, only one has reached the final, and two have been eliminated first. Unfortunately, this year's unlucky number 13 belongs to Sarah Hadland and her pro partner Vito Coppola. But, as we've seen in the past, anything can happen on the Strictly dancefloor, and Sarah is determined to prove the opening credits wrong.
In other news, Toyah Willcox, who was eliminated from the competition on Sunday, made a surprising comment about fellow contestant Chris McCausland during an interview on It Takes Two. When asked for any tips or advice for the remaining celebrities, the 80s singer jokingly pointed to the camera and said, "if you don't want to do a dance-off, get rid of Chris!" While some fans were outraged by this apparent dig, Chris has since defended Toyah and expressed his love and admiration for her.
As we approach the halfway point of the competition, it's still anyone's game in Strictly Come Dancing 2024. So, make sure to tune in on Saturday at 6:20 pm on BBC One and iPlayer to see who will continue on in the quest for the Glitterball Trophy.
