Soccer AM legend Helen Chamberlain tipped to join Strictly Come Dancing line up
HELEN CHAMBERLAIN could be set for a stint on Strictly Come Dancing.
That’s according to bookmakers Ladbrokes, who’ve priced the original co-presenter of the cult Sky Sports show at just 4/1 to take to the dance floor later this year.

BBC’s Strictly will return for its 21st series later this year with fans of the show already discussing which celebrities will feature.
And odds of Chamberlain’s participation arrive shortly after news that Soccer AM will be cancelled after nearly 30 years on the air.
Soccer AM first arrived on our screens back in 1995 with Russ Williams and Chamberlain appointed as the original hosts.
Tim Lovejoy replaced Williams just two years into the show’s run with Chamberlain hosting for 22 years until announcing her departure in 2017.
The morning programme will air its last episode on Saturday 27 May, the day before the end of the Premier League season.

A spokesperson for Sky said: “Soccer AM has played an important role in our coverage of football for the past three decades, and we continually adapt to the evolving needs of our customers.
“We now go into a period of consultation to discuss the proposed changes with our people. We are unable to provide more detail while these consultations are underway.”
A source told The Sun: “It was a complete bombshell. Morale is at an all-time low, they are raging. It’s going to be an interesting watch over the next few weeks.”
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Soccer AM has finally been shown the red card.
“But the odds suggest Strictly chiefs might make a move for an original face of the hit Saturday morning show in the shape of Helen Chamberlain.”
