The gloves are off and the Saturday night TV ratings war is about to begin. The X Factor has already set its stall on ITV and this Saturday night will see Strictly Come Dancing launch its challenge for this year, by unveiling the celebrities that will take part. Bookmakers Paddy Power have accordingly launched their Strictly Come Dancing Betting Market and seem confident about those who will be leading the pack.
The right mix of characters is essential for the success of the programme and the BBC have secured a real coup this year with their line up. Viewers are sure to tune in to see Ann Widdecombe glide across the ballroom floor, in the same way as John Sargent became a box office success, and all time favourite Felicity Kendal is also sure to be a huge draw.

Scott Maslen from Eastenders and Gavin Henson, rugby player and ex husband of Charlotte Church are sure to pull in the female viewers and magician Paul Daniels, never a stranger to controversy, will add the pantomime element to proceedings that will make host Bruce Forsyth feel entirely at home. Unsurprisingly the bookies have Kara Pointon and Matt Baker leading the field. Ex Blue Peter presenter Matt has built on his fanbase with his recent hosting of the BBC's One Show and as an accomplished gymnast is sure to have the timing, balance and fitness to do well in the competition.
Kara Tointon, best known for her role as Dawn in Eastenders appeared in a Strictly one off and wowed the audience with her figure and her moves, so it is no surprise that she is favourite at the moment, but the series is so long and the challenges so varied that those who begin as favourite rarely manage to hold on to that position to the end. Technical prowess is always rewarded by the public as is eye candy, but good humour and enthusiasm often secures even more votes as became apparent in last year's final when Chris Hollins trumped sharp mover Ricky Whittle and won the show
