Sam ready to put the Champagne on ice

Sam Attwater is now the hot 1/2 favourite with Ladbrokes to win Dancing on Ice.

TV punters keen to notch their first winner of the year have flooded the bookies with bets for Sam leaving them no choice but to slash his odds every week.

Laura Hamilton at 5/1 appears to be the only dancer able to cause an upset as early gambles on Vanilla Ice (now 12/1) and Kerry Katona (now 14/1) appear to have gone astray.

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: “Attwater fans should be celebrating already as the odds suggest he is home and hosed. Hamilton appears to be our only hope and we’re cheering her on every week praying for an upset.”
