After an emotion-packed first-ever competitive dance from an all-male couple in Strictly Come Dancing that left the professional dancer in the partnership visibly emotional, John Whaite and Johannes Radebe have joined Rose Ayling-Ellis at the top of the betting market as joint favorites.
Presenting a tango to Blue Monday from New Order the couple put in an excellent debut performance which suitably impressed the judges who hold over their scores until next week, when we discover who is booted off the show first.

Tom Fletcher in Isolation
Tom Fletcher has been removed from the betting following both he and his dance partner testing positive for COVID.
Whilst no betting odds are available on his chance at this stage, it is expected that his isolation period will only rule him out of next week's show.
According to the rules, that is permissible and he should return in two weeks time when we expect him to enter the betting once again.
Increased Chances
3 celebrities have seen their odds cut and chances of winning the Glitterball Trophy increased after their debut performances on show one, with AJ Odudu making the biggest gain to now be the 4th favourite in the betting and a 10/1 chance with bookies
John Whaites chance increased 38% in being cut to joint 3/1 favourite with Rose Ayling-Ellis, and Adam peaty has made a bit of a comeback after losing support in the betting before the show started, and his chance increased 29% as his odds were cut to 5/1
| Contestant | Betting Odds | Chance of winning increase |
|---|---|---|
| AJ Odudu | 10/1 | 50% |
| John Whaite | 11/2 | 38% |
| Adam Peaty | 5/1 | 29% |
