Josie Gibson emerges as front-runner to host Dancing on Ice 2024, according to bookmakers

In the wake of her recent success in the jungle, Josie Gibson is emerging as the odds-on favourite to take over the hosting duties on the upcoming Dancing on Ice series. Bookmaker William Hill has Gibson backed at 1/2 to co-present the show alongside Stephen Mulhern.

Gibson's popularity soared during her stint on “I'm A Celebrity” earlier this month, winning over a considerable fan base. While the current host, Holly Willoughby, hasn't been officially ruled out, she sits as the second favourite with odds at 6/4 for a potential return to the show. Rochelle Humes follows closely behind at 5/1.

William Hill's spokesperson, Lee Phelps, commented on the buzz surrounding Josie Gibson, stating, "The Big Brother winner was a popular contestant on I'm A Celebrity this year and leads the betting at 1/2 to present the series alongside Stephen Mulhern."

Despite the front-runners, the field remains open, with other contenders listed as Christine Lampard at 5/1 and Alison Hammond at 9/1. The bookmaker also offers an option for an alternative host, represented by "BAR" at 16/1.
