Shaun Wright-Phillips is the 8/11 favourite to be eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, with Delta Goodrem back after her injury.
Shaun Wright-Phillips is the 8/11 favourite to be the next celebrity eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing, with Week 5 on BBC One on Saturday night.
Twelve couples remain after Dame Sarah Storey left in Icons Week, following Chris Appleton and Melanie Walters out of the competition. Delta Goodrem is back after a rib injury forced her to take a bye last week, and Lacey Turner is still the favourite to win the Glitterball.
The live show starts at 6.30pm on Saturday 24 October, with the results on Sunday. The two couples with the lowest combined judges' scores and public votes go into the dance-off, and the judges decide who stays.

Who Is Favourite to Leave Strictly This Week?
Shaun Wright-Phillips is the 8/11 favourite with Betfair Sportsbook, Sky Bet and Paddy Power, an implied chance of about 58%. Betfred is shortest at 4/6. The former England winger has scored 15, 25, 15 and 28, the lowest average of the 12 couples left at 20.8.
He was bottom of the leaderboard in Week 3 and survived the dance-off against Melanie Walters. He responded with 28 for his James Brown Couple's Choice in Icons Week, his best score so far. The judges praised the improvement, but some viewers felt he had been overmarked, and the market still has him as the most likely to go.
Bethany Antonia is second favourite at 3/1 (25%). She has been remarkably consistent, scoring 26, 27, 27 and 27, but that has left her in the bottom half of the leaderboard most weeks. She was in last week's dance-off and the judges saved her unanimously over Dame Sarah Storey. A second dance-off in a row would leave her relying on the judges again.
Who Else Is at Risk on Strictly?
Will Best is third favourite at 15/2. His scores have climbed every week, from 18 to 19, 25 and then 31 for his Icons Week Jive, which put him third on the leaderboard. Bookmakers still have him as the third most likely to leave, which suggests they're not convinced his public vote matches his progress.
Jaime Winstone and Dani Dyer are both 12/1. Jaime was joint top last week with 34 for her Paso Doble, but she was in the Movie Week dance-off after scoring 21. Dani was second from bottom in Icons Week with 25 for her Rumba.
Delta Goodrem is 66/1 to go on her return. She averaged 30.7 across her first three dances, the best in the field, and she returns with a Rumba. History is a slight worry: Strictly Scoreboard found seven of the nine celebrities to come back from a bye before her left within two weeks.
Strictly Come Dancing 2026 Winner Odds
Lacey Turner is the favourite to win Strictly at 15/8 with bet365 (about 35%). The EastEnders actress hasn't topped the leaderboard yet, but she has scored between 26 and 29 every week. Tabby Stoecker is 7/2, and Delta Goodrem is 4/1 on her return. John Nellis is 11/1, and Cach Mercer is 14/1 after sharing top spot in Icons Week.
How Does the Strictly Elimination Work?
The judges' scores from Saturday are combined with the public vote. The two couples with the lowest totals dance again on Sunday's results show, and the judges vote on who to save.
The market has this as a straight fight between Shaun and Bethany, who are the only two couples at shorter than 7/1. Shaun's Icons Week score gave him a lift, so the price to watch is whether he can back it up on Saturday or drops back to the bottom of the leaderboard.
