Boyzone singer Ronan Keating is the latest name to be linked with this year's edition of Strictly Come Dancing.
The BBC ballroom contest is returning for a shorter series than normal this October, with the celebrity lineup now thought to be finalised and on the verge of being announced.
According to bookmakers Coral, 43-year-old Keating has seen his odds shorten significantly in recent days and is now being tipped at 2/1 to appear.
"The journey on Strictly can be a rollercoaster for the contestants but our betting suggests Ronan Keating may be set to give it a go this year," a spokesman told The Mirror.
"Keating is unlikely to have any stage fright and could be one of the contestants who has the calibre to go all the way on the show."
Despite the stasis of the coronavirus lockdown, Keating has enjoyed a busy 2020 so far, welcoming his fifth child and releasing his 11th solo studio album.
