Tight Market To Leave This Week
Both winner and next elimination odds are now up on UK Betting Sites ahead of another big weekend of Strictly Come Dancing.
Two names are tight for top spot in the market to be the next couple sent home, with Shaun Wright-Phillips and Melanie Walters currently neck-and-neck to go next.
Chris Appleton was the first celebrity eliminated on this year's Strictly, with Jaime Winstone in the dance-off against him on last weekend's episode.
Bet365 put her out at 5/1 to go this weekend, with a bounce expected according to those odds.
Here's how the next elimination market currently reads:
Strictly Next Elimination | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
Shaun Wright-Phillips | 33.3% | |
Melanie Walters | 30.8% | |
Sarah Storey | 25.0% | |
Jaime Winstone | 16.7% | |
Bethany Antonia | 4.3% | |
Lawrence Robb | 4.3% |
Lacey Turner Continues To Lead The Winner Market
While the next elimination market tightens up at the top, the race to win the Glitterball tells a rather different story, with one name pulling clear of the field.
EastEnders actress Lacey Turner is now clear favourite in the winner market, with bookies expecting her to be a dominant force this series.
Strictly Winner Odds | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
Lacey Turner | 40.0% | |
John Nellis | 15.4% | |
Dani Dyer | 11.8% | |
Delta Goodrem | 11.8% | |
Graeme Hall | 7.7% | |
Cach Mercer | 7.7% | |
Tabby Stoecker | 7.7% | |
Will Best | 7.7% | |
Lawrence Robb | 6.7% | |
Bethany Antonia | 2.8% | |
Jaime Winstone | 1.5% | |
Sarah Storey | 1.0% | |
Melanie Walters | 0.8% | |
Shaun Wright-Phillips | 0.8% |
Dani Dyer and Delta Goodrem share third spot at 15/2, while a genuine logjam has formed at 12/1, with Graeme Hall, Cach Mercer, Tabby Stoecker and Will Best all available at the same price.
Shaun Wright-Phillips and Melanie Walters, this week's joint market leaders to leave, are also the two longest prices to win the whole competition at 125/1 apiece.
This Week's Dances Confirmed
All 14 couples have revealed their dances and songs for this week via It Takes Two, giving punters plenty to weigh up before the odds move again.
Here's the full rundown:
• Bethany Antonia & Nancy – American Smooth, Love Song by Sarah Bareilles
• Dani Dyer & Nikita – Tango, Show Me Love by Robin S
• Tabby Stoecker & Mark – Argentine Tango
• Jaime Winstone & Carlos – Viennese Waltz, Never Tear Us Apart by INXS
• Delta Goodrem & Kai – Salsa, Ain't Nobody by Chaka Khan
• Graeme Hall & Lauren – Jive
• John Nellis & Katya – Cha Cha Cha, Rock Your Body by Justin Timberlake
• Lacey Turner & Vito – Samba, Bamboleo by Gypsy Kings
• Melanie Walters & Aljaz – Charleston, Ooh Ahh Just A Little Bit by Gina G
• Sarah Storey & Julian – Paso Doble, California Dreamin' by Sia
• Will Best & Dianne – Waltz, With You I'm Born Again by Billy Preston & Syreeta Wright
• Cach Mercer & Maddie – Commercial/Street, Beware.. The South London Lover Boy by Raye
• Lawrence Robb & Jowita – Rumba, Back To Friends by Sombr
• Shaun Wright-Phillips & Alexis – Quickstep, I'm A Believer by The Monkees
With both market leaders, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Melanie Walters, facing routines that have historically been tricky for even strong dancers (the Quickstep and the Charleston respectively), it's easy to see why the betting sites have them positioned where they are this week.
