CROUCHY GETS BOOKED… FOR THE BALLROOM: PETER CROUCH AND REF MARK CLATTENBURG ODDS-ON TO STAR IN STRICTLY

Off the back of their new-found bromance in the latest Paddy Power ad, Peter Crouch and Mark Clattenburg look set to swap the boot room for the ballroom, priced as low as 1/3 for either to appear on Strictly Come Dancing by 2025.

The two appeared as the leading men in scenes inspired by American Beauty and Dirty Dancingas part of the bookmakers’ latest campaign to celebrate the start of the new Premier League season, and having wowed punters with their expert moves and onscreen dynamic, Crouch and Clattenburg are 8/1 to jointly host their own sports show by 2025.

The pair are 50/1 to get their bottoms soggy and host The Great British Bake Off together with Crouchy currently 6/4 to become the next A League of Their Own team captain.

For those that think the former ref and England target man would talk more sense than the current government, the duo are a lengthy 5000/1 to become PM and chancellor.

If you don’t quite think Clattenburg is parched enough, he is a sneaky 3/1 to be announced as the newest member of the upcoming series of The Peter Crouch Podcast, taking a seat beside Crouchy, Chris Stark and Statman Dave.

A spokesperson for Paddy Power said: “Crouchy and Clatts could be bigger than Mel and Sue, Ant and Dec or Phil and Holly combined, with Oscar-worthy acting skills and on-screen chemistry to rival Ross and Rachel.

“Political office for the pair might be a step to far, but Leicester won the league at a similar price – and if there’s anyone that no bar is too high for, it’s got to be the big man, Crouchy himself!”

Paddy Power’s recent ad featuring Mark Clattenburg and Peter Crouch can currently be watched on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
