Daniels bets on himself to win 'Strictly'

Phil Daniels has bet £50 on himself to win Strictly Come Dancing, say reports.

The ex-EastEnders actor got odds of 20/1 on him triumphing in the reality show, reports The Mirror.

Daniels, who played Kevin Wicks on the BBC soap, will partner last year's runner-up Flavia Cacace.

The actor has previously raced the London Marathon and is a trained knifethrower.
