Saturday night telly is the best comfort blanket, and whether you love it or hate it, Strictly Come Dancing is definitely a popular choice on the box.
The 19th series has seen stars like McFly’s Tom Fletcher bust a move and Peep Show’s Robert Webb dress up as a frog.
But which star is going to earn the big bucks after appearing on the show? A study by OLBG has unearthed what each contestant is likely to make per sponsored Instagram post.

The figures show that Tom Fletcher will bag the most cash, with a singular Instagram post earning him £8,866.
That means across the entire year, he’d have the potential to earn £425k just for a few selfies.
The second highest amount would go to TikTok star and chef Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Tilly, who could earn £204k yearly.
Third place goes to Olympian swimmer Adam Peaty, a single sponsored Instagram post could earn him £2.4k or £116k yearly.
But what about the winner? Well, OLBG has calculated that too.
AJ Odudu has been named most likely to win the series with odds jumping from 12/1 to 5/2 after two solid performances as she becomes the new favourite.
He should probably watch out for Tom Fletcher though, who is back after catching coronavirus with odds 18/1 for winning the series.
The odds and probabilities for the stars winning the trophy are:
- AJ Odudu: Odds - 5/2 Probability - 29%
- John Whaite: Odds - 3/1 Probability - 25%
- Rose Ayling-Ellis: Odds - 7/2 Probability - 22%
- Adam Peaty: Odds - 9/1 Probability - 10%
- Rhys Stephenson: Odds - 16/1 Probability - 6%
- Tom Fletcher: Odds - 18/1 Probability - 5%
