King predicts Whittle will win Strictly

Actress Claire King has predicted that 'Hollyoaks' star Ricky Whittle will win the upcoming series of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The former 'Emmerdale' actress told Bang Showbiz: "I think this year the guy from 'Hollyoaks, Ricky, will win."

"They're all going for Joe Calzaghe, but if I could pick anyone, I'd hope Richard Dunwoody wins, because I have a racing background."

King also joked about participation on the show, saying: "You know - I still hold the record as the only woman who has never cried on the show."
