Strictly Come Dancing contestant George Clarke has shared his insider view on who might triumph in the intense 2025 competition, describing the current series as fiercely contested.
Clarke's Top Picks for the Glitterball
Speaking exclusively to The Independent on Saturday 08 November 2025, Clarke confessed he finds it nearly impossible to choose a single winner. He characterised the competition as "insanely competitive", suggesting that any of the remaining celebrities had a genuine shot at victory.
However, when pressed for a definitive answer, the star revealed his personal favourites. George Clarke would back either Vicky Pattison or Alex Kingston to lift the coveted Glitterball Trophy when the series concludes.
A Light-Hearted Crossover Comment
In a humorous aside that delighted fans, Clarke joked about the potential for a unique television crossover stemming from his chosen finalists. He quipped about the entertaining prospect of a Doctor Who and Geordie Shore fusion, referencing Alex Kingston's iconic role in the sci-fi series and Vicky Pattison's fame from the reality show.
This witty remark highlighted the diverse backgrounds of the contestants and the unique chemistry that defines the Strictly ballroom.
Professional Partner Weighs In
Echoing the sentiment of a tough competition, Clarke's professional dance partner, Alexis Warr, also found it challenging to name a potential champion. Warr emphasised the exceptionally high talent level among all contestants this year, making predictions a difficult task even for those directly involved in the show.
With the competition heating up, all eyes will be on the ballroom to see if Clarke's prediction proves accurate.
