Angela Rayner set for huge reality show stint after | UK News

A spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps said: “Angela Rayner’s resignation has sparked rumours around what could be next for the former Deputy Prime Minister and we think that if she doesn’t opt for the microphone and start a podcast, she could be in line for a major TV appearance.

Starting up a new political podcast is her likeliest option at 5/2, but we make it a 4/1 chance that she features on next year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing.”

He added: “We’ve already seen Reform chief Nigel Farage in the jungle and Rayner might be next at 5/1 to seem on I’m A Celeb next yr, with her other ITV option being to host This Morning, which is a 10/1 probability.

“If she is to remain in politics then a defection to Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s new left-wing party is 8/1.”

The bookmaker has even priced up more unusual options, including 10/1 for Rayner to front a Dry Robe advert and 25/1 to present a TV travel series about train journeys before the end of 2027.

Rayner’s emotional live TV moment earlier this year sparked sympathy across the political spectrum, and her profile has only grown since stepping back from frontline politics.

Her mix of working-class grit and high-profile political clashes has already made her one of Labour’s most recognisable figures — and now her name is being linked with some of the country’s biggest entertainment shows.

While her immediate future remains uncertain, one thing is clear: Angela Rayner is now being seen as both a political heavyweight and a potential prime-time star.

Whether she ends up dancing the cha-cha, braving the jungle, or internet hosting on the couch, the percentages counsel her next transfer can be watched very carefully.
