Jordan Banjo’s close call with a snake

Jordan Banjo has given his verdict on who’s going to win this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, and he’s convinced actor pal Adam Thomas will be the one to lift the Glitterball Trophy.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the Diversity star opened up about the new series of the BBC favourite.

When asked who he’s putting his money on, he replied: “Adam Thomas is my boy!

“He’s going to smash it. He’s got to be one of the nicest people ever, I love Adam. I really hope he does well.”

Adam has been partnered with Luba Mashtuk and was delighted with the match.

The 35-year-old also seems to have his sights set on winning, having recently admitted he’s keeping an eye on the one he deems his “biggest competition”.

When asked who he feels the biggest competition is, Adam replied: “Everyone. I feel like the standard is so high this year!

“My competition I think is Zara. I think we are both on the same level so far anyways, so the only one I am going to try and beat is Zara.”

With the actor and former Love Island star seemingly starting off at the same level, viewers in the coming weeks could be keeping their eyes peeled on their individual dancefloor moves to compare the two.

But could Jordan be correct in assuming the soap actor could go all the way?

Jordan is currently working with Tesco as part of its Golden Grants.

Shoppers have a golden hour to win a share of half a million pounds for their local school or a community group that supports children this Saturday (September 23).

The company’s Stronger Starts campaign are offering shoppers in 100 Tesco stores a lucky dip to find a gold version of Tesco’s famous blue voting token between 12 noon and 1pm.

The dancer explained: “Everyone is struggling at the moment and unfortunately, kids don’t really have much choice in being in that situation.

“Something like Stronger Starts gives them that chance to literally have that – a stronger start.”

He added: “Right now, £5,000 can make a massive difference to a school or community project and help them give children a stronger start in life, so get down to your local store and try and find that golden token!”

Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 6.15pm on BBC One.
