Purely in possible money making terms -
At the moment he is 20/1. We haven't seen him dance but looking at his lack of experience, personality and his own comments, it doesn't seem as though dancing will come naturally. 20/1 may be as low as he goes.
However:-
He's fairly young, fit, incredibly determined and will work like hell. He's also riding the wave of the olympics (probably more so than Claudia who is less well known and didn't win a medal) and seems to twang a few ovaries.
If (and it's a big if admittedly) he has some rhythm and at least a bit of latent ability, he has the potential for the dreaded j word. Combine that with young, fit, very popular male with plenty of goodwill behind him and he might be worth a fiver.
If either of his first couple of dances look vaguely decent, his odds will fall sharpish. Makes sense to someone wanting to take a punt to get some money on early before that happens.
