The highly-anticipated Strictly Come Dancing is getting ever closer, and as BBC bosses contend with not only the coronavirus pandemic and how they're going to navigate the various rule changes, but they are carefully picking the all-star line-up. As we are only months away from the kick-off, the annual rumour mill has begun once again with reports of celebrities from all over the nation taking part.
And as names continue to roll in, a Love Island star's odds on appearing on the dance-floor are more in her favour now than ever before.
Bookmakers Coral revealed that 2017 show winner Amber Gill, could be set to grace the ballroom this year, pricing her odds at 2-1.
Coral's Harry Aitkenhead said: "Amber's a self confessed Strictly superfan and we think that she could get her opportunity to take to the dance-floor herself in the next series.
"We've slashed the odds on it happening."

The reality show winner appeared on Strictly's sister show It Takes Two last year, as part of the celeb judging panel who gave the low-down on how they thought the contestants were doing.
The dating show winner joined comedian Rufus Hound and presenter Gabby Roslin on the sofa to dissect the celebrities' rehearsal videos.
She was branded "harsh" by Gethin Jones, for her strong words about Saffron Barker, who was partnered with AJ Pritchard in the last series.
She said: "I absolutely love Saffron. I don’t know how she does it. She goes out and give her all, but she just needs to let go a bit more. I feel like I’m being harsh. It's the second week, let her get into her flow."
But Amber was left red-faced when Gethin joked she was the "harshest judge" on the celebrity panel.
At the time, he explained: "Basically, you have this muscle in your foot, right, which is called the plantar fascia. It’s the main muscle in your foot and I’ve torn it."
Additionally, the king of radio is also on the cards, as Virgin Radio Breakfast Show DJ Chris Evans' could be set to take the plunge.
He revealed that he had signed onto the 2019 series, but it was never confirmed whether his signing was official or not as it turned out he was struggling with a knee injury.
He told pro dancer Anton du Beke at the time: "I've got an issue with my left knee. I've got a serious issue with my left knee. Vassos' mate, the super knee doctor, is inspecting my knee before Friday. Honestly it's true!"
