- Lacey Turner leads the Strictly Come Dancing 2026 winner betting at 13/8 with bet365, despite finishing seventh on the week three leaderboard.
- Delta Goodrem posted the highest score of the series so far with 33, yet she is 6/1.
- Melanie Walters became the second celebrity to leave after losing the dance-off to Shaun Wright-Phillips, who is now the 150/1 outsider.
Lacey Turner Holds Firm After A Quieter Saturday
We're three weeks into this year's Strictly Come Dancing, and Lacey Turner is still the name every other celebrity is chasing, while bookmakers have barely moved her price despite a quieter weekend for the EastEnders star.
bet365 have Lacey and Vito Coppola at 13/8 to lift the Glitterball Trophy, which works out at an implied 38.1% chance.
That price stands out when you look at the judges' scoreboard. Lacey and Vito picked up 26 on Saturday, putting them seventh of the fourteen couples who danced, while Delta Goodrem and Kai Widdrington led the way with 33.
Lacey is a household name to millions of soap viewers, and with the public vote deciding who ends up in the dance-off each week, a loyal fanbase can be worth more than a couple of extra points from Shirley Ballas and co.
Strictly Come Dancing 2026 Winner Odds

|---|---|---|
| Lacey Turner | 13/8 | 38.1% |
| Delta Goodrem | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| John Nellis | 15/2 | 11.8% |
| Tabby Stoecker | 15/2 | 11.8% |

| Jaime Winstone | 40/1 | 2.4% |
| Sarah Storey | 80/1 | 1.2% |
| Shaun Wright-Phillips | 150/1 | 0.7% |
There is a sizeable gap between Lacey and everyone else, with no other celebrity shorter than 6/1. John Nellis and Tabby Stoecker are joint third at 15/2, and Dani Dyer is just behind them at 8/1.
Delta Goodrem Sets The Standard On The Leaderboard
If the trophy were handed out purely on scores, Delta would be the one to back. She and Kai opened with 29, followed it with 30, and then produced the best routine of the series so far on Saturday with 33. That gives them 92 across three weeks, eleven points clear of anyone else.
Behind them, the combined table is tightly packed. Lacey and Tabby sit on 81, with Graeme Hall, Bethany Antonia and Cach Mercer all on 80. Lacey’s position is far stronger than her week three score suggests, which goes some way to explaining why the market has not moved against her.
Tabby and Cach are the two on the steepest upward curve. Tabby has gone 22, 28 and 31, while Cach has climbed from 20 to 29 and then 31. Tabby has been backed in to 15/2, but Cach is still available at 14/1 despite matching her score on Saturday.
John Nellis is heading in the other direction. He topped the week one leaderboard with 31, but has since scored 23 and 20, and has slipped to seventh on the combined standings.
Melanie Walters Bows Out After The Dance-Off
Sunday night brought the end of the road for Melanie Walters and Aljaž Škorjanec. The Gavin and Stacey actress was 12/1 when the full line-up was confirmed, but scores of 15, 15 and 17 left her at the bottom of the leaderboard, and she lost the dance-off to Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Shaun survives for another week, but the former England winger is now the outsider of the remaining thirteen at 150/1.
He and Alexis Warr had the lowest score on Saturday with 15, so he will need a big improvement to avoid a return trip to the dance-off.
