Lacey Turner is back as the Strictly Come Dancing 2026 favourite, shortening to 5/4 after topping the Halloween Week leaderboard.
Lacey Turner has returned to the top of the Strictly Come Dancing 2026 winner betting after producing the highest score of Halloween Week, with the EastEnders actress now the clear favourite to lift the Glitterball Trophy.
The competition has reached its final 10 celebrities following the departure of Emmerdale actor Lawrence Robb, who became the fifth contestant to leave on Sunday, 1 November. Turner's impressive Charleston earned her 36 points and helped her shorten to 5/4 with bet365. However, Olympic skeleton champion Tabby Stoecker remains close behind at 15/8, setting up an intriguing battle at the top of the market.
With several weeks still to go before the final, the latest Strictly Come Dancing odds suggest there is plenty of room for further movement.

Odds last updated on 4th November 2026.
Lacey Turner has reclaimed her position as favourite after topping the Halloween Week leaderboard with 36 points for her Charleston. The EastEnders actress has shortened from 7/4 to 5/4. Turner is partnered with Vito Coppola, who won the competition with Ellie Leach in 2023, giving her an experienced professional as the contest enters its later stages.
Tabby Stoecker is second favourite at 15/8 after briefly leading the market in October. The Olympic skeleton champion scored 37 points in Week Five, receiving the first 10s of the series. Halloween Week was less successful, however, as her Quickstep earned just 25 points and saw her odds drift from 13/8 to 15/8. Despite that setback, she remains a serious contender.
Delta Goodrem is third in the betting at 7/1 after returning from a broken rib. She scored 33 for her Viennese Waltz during Halloween Week and will be hoping to build on that performance with partner Kai Widdrington.
John Nellis is priced at 10/1 after scoring 35 for his Tango, while Dani Dyer is available at 12/1 following a 32-point Viennese Waltz with Nikita Kuzmin. All three remain in contention as the competition approaches its later stages.
Who Has Been Eliminated From Strictly Come Dancing 2026?
Five celebrities have now left the competition.
The eliminated contestants are:
- Chris Appleton – eliminated with professional partner Amy Dowden.
- Melanie Walters – eliminated with Aljaž Škorjanec.
- Dame Sarah Storey – eliminated with Julian Caillon.
- Shaun Wright-Phillips – eliminated with Alexis Warr.
- Lawrence Robb – eliminated with Jowita Przystał.
Robb's departure came after the show's first-ever triple dance-off, with three couples performing again before the judges decided who would leave.
The remaining 10 celebrities will now compete for a place in the later stages of the series, with every performance carrying greater importance.
When Is Strictly Come Dancing 2026 On?
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One on Saturday, 7 November 2026, at 6.30pm, with the results show scheduled for Sunday, 8 November at 7.10pm.
The competition is expected to continue towards its December final, with the remaining celebrities hoping to impress the judges and secure enough public votes to stay in the running.
For now, Lacey Turner leads the betting at 5/4, but Tabby Stoecker remains close behind at 15/8. With Delta Goodrem, John Nellis and Dani Dyer also in contention, the race for the Glitterball Trophy is far from settled.
