Former medico multi-millionaire Geoffrey Edelsten has wagered $1 million on his bride Brynne to win Channel 7 reality dance-off Dancing With the Stars.

Tom Waterhouse has taken up the novel bet that has since seen Brynne's odds narrowed from $51 to $11.

"When I framed my opening celebrity winner market with Brynne as my outsider I had no idea she was a great dancer," news.com.au quoted Waterhouse as saying.

Waterhouse claims Geoffrey is confident his buxom party-girl wife will receive excellent scores from the judges and will leave the Australian public wowed.

Brynne, a fitness instructor from California first shot to fame two years ago on the Brownlow Medal red carpet when she showed public affection for the disgraced doctor Edelsten.

In November 2009, she joined the ranks of trophy wives when Edelsten married her in a lavish ceremony in Melbourne.

Famous for saying "you are only as strong as the tables you dance on, the drinks you mix and the friends you roll with", Brynne is contesting with My Kitchen Rules co-host Manu Feildel, Seven News presenter Samantha Armytage and Home & Away hunk Dan Ewing.
