Lacey Turner is the Strictly Come Dancing favourite after topping the Halloween Week leaderboard, while Bethany Antonia is odds-on to go next.
Strictly Come Dancing has reached the halfway point with 10 celebrities left, and the betting has a clearer shape than it did a week ago. Lacey Turner is favourite to lift the Glitterball after topping the Halloween Week leaderboard, while Bethany Antonia is odds-on to be the next celebrity voted off.
The picture is complicated by an injury. Jaime Winstone has a torn abdominal muscle and has been given a bye, so she cannot be eliminated this weekend. Nine couples will dance on Saturday.
Strictly Odds
Odds are subject to fluctuation and correct as of 14:44 GMT, Friday 6 November. See the full Strictly Come Dancing winner market on Oddschecker.
Who Is the Favourite to Win Strictly?
Lacey is 6/4 at best, about a 40% chance, and as short as 6/5. She accounts for 46% of the bets on Oddschecker, well ahead of everyone else. That support follows her Halloween Charleston to Crazy Stupid Love, which scored 36 and put her top of the leaderboard for the first time.
Tabby Stoecker is second favourite at 15/8, about 35%. She has 22% of the bets. That is close enough that she remains a genuine rival, even after a difficult Halloween Week. She scored 25 for her quickstep, joint bottom with Graeme Hall, but the public vote kept both of them out of the dance-off.
Delta Goodrem is third favourite at a best price of 7/1. Dani Dyer is 16/1, but she is the third-most backed selection with 17% of the bets, ahead of Delta on 5%. John Nellis, who scored 35 for his tango, is also 16/1.
Strictly Next Elimination Odds
Odds are subject to fluctuation and correct as of 14:43 GMT, Friday 6 November. See the full Strictly next elimination market on Oddschecker.
Bethany is 4/7 to go, about a 64% chance, and 1/2 with several other firms. She was already 1/2 with bet365 on Tuesday. She survived Sunday’s dance-off, but it was her second of the series, and the market thinks her luck is running out.
Jaime does not have a sportsbook price. That fits the bye: with Carlos Gu sitting the week out, she cannot leave tomorrow night.
The betting share tells a slightly different story from the prices. Bethany and Delta have 33% of the elimination bets each. Delta is as long as 66/1, so a large slice of the money is going on an upset rather than the favourite. Will Best, Dani and Tabby have 11% each.
Who Left Strictly After Halloween Week?
Lawrence Robb and Jowita Przystał became the fifth couple to leave, after the first triple dance-off in the show’s history. Bethany and Nancy Xu, Jaime and Carlos, and Lawrence and Jowita all had to dance again. The judges voted to eliminate rather than to save, and Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood all chose Lawrence. Motsi Mabuse said she would have done the same.
Lawrence scored 26 for his tango to Ghostbusters. The bottom three were the three lowest-scoring celebrities the public did not save. Tabby and Graeme, who also scored 25, stayed up.
The first four out were Chris Appleton, Melanie Walters, Dame Sarah Storey and Shaun Wright-Phillips.
When Is Strictly On This Weekend?
The live show is on Saturday 7 November at 6.40pm on BBC One and iPlayer, with the results show on Sunday at 7.10pm. There is no theme this week. Blackpool is on 21 November.
