Camilla Dallerup has revealed she's pinning her hopes on boxer Joe Calzaghe to be crowned the next 'Strictly Come Dancing' king.

The pro dancer, who won the show's sixth season with Tom Chambers, said at the Inside Soap Awards: "I know that Joe Calzaghe perhaps didn't have a first good week but my money is still on him to win.

"I just think there is something so endearing about a man who is a world champion, a real tough guy, being so nervous they can hardly move on the dance floor, and actually so want to dance and please the audience, and I can see a bit of a Darren Gough journey coming on."

Ex-'Hollyoaks' star Chris Fountain is supporting his former co-stars, Ali Bastian and Ricky Whittle.

"I have to watch it because Ricky's on there and Ali's on there," he said.

"They're both like joint favourites now, I think. But I have been giving Ricky some abuse about his costumes, only because he did it to me when I did 'Dancing On Ice', so you've kind of got to do it. I said, 'You're doing really well mate but those shirts are horrendous, you've gotta sort it out'."

He added: "I'm voting for them both. When it gets to the final, I'll have to man up and choose which one I want but at the moment I'm sending each of them a little vote."
