Celebrity MasterChef champion Riyadh Khalaf tipped for Strictly Come Dancing

Celebrity MasterChef winner Riyadh Khalaf is tipped to be among the stars lined up for Strictly Come Dancing 2020.

The 29-year-old YouTube sensation, who was crowned the winner of Celebrity MasterChef 2020 yesterday, could shortly be swapping the kitchen for the ballroom if the rumours are true.

Betting company Ladbrokes has since set the odds of Riyadh appearing on the BBC show at 4/1.

A spokesperson for Ladbrokes said: "Riyadh could be about to swap one salsa for another with a Strictly stint on the cards for the Masterchef champ."

A representative for Riyadh has been contacted by MirrorOnline for comment.

After serving up a flawless menu yesterday, Riyadh managed to beat athletes Sir Matthew Pinsent and Sam Quek to the top MasterChef spot.

The vlogger was over the moon to win the coveted title on a show he had watched since he was younger.

"I am absolutely in shock," he said. "I can’t believe it, it’s an incredible feeling," Riyadh said.

"This show I have been watching since I was in school and to have gone from being a fan of the show to winning the thing - this is without a doubt the biggest achievement of my life."

Riyadh is the latest in a long line of celebrities that have been rumoured for a Strictly Come Dancing appearance.

Although no official announcements have been made about the upcoming season, several celebs have expressed an interest in putting on their dancing shoes.
