EXCLUSIVE: A former Strictly Come Dancing pro, who was a part of the hit BBC One show for over ten years, has opened up on this year's competition as they predict their winner

While we're only four weeks in, Brendan has already predicted who will take home the Glitterball trophy, spoken about the most entertaining couple and the celebrity who will 'never be in a dance-off', thanks to their undeniable popularity with the public. He became the first-ever winner on the show with partner Natasha Kaplinsky in series one, and during his lengthy Strictly career was partnered with the likes of Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Sarah Manners, Fiona Phillips, Claire King, Kelly Brook, Lisa Snowdon, Jo Wood and Michelle Williams. When it comes to the celebrity who has already won over the public vote, Brendan, speaking in collaboration with Sky Vegas, revealed that comedian Chris McCausland is the one people 'love' - and with such a fandom, could avoid a dance-off throughout the series.
