Angela Rippon is the clear favourite to leave Strictly Come Dancing this weekend
Journalist and television presenter Angela Rippon is now the heavy favourite with UK Betting Sites to be the next celebrity eliminated on this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The 79-year-old has been in back-to-back dance-offs on the show and it may well be third time unlucky this weekend as the show heads to the famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
Betting odds now put Rippon as the clear favourite to leave the show next with her odds currently at 1/3 ahead of Annabel Croft and Angela Scanlon in the betting market.
William Hill's latest odds give an implied probability of 75% that it is Rippon who is the next celebrity that is voted off by the public and the judges at Blackpool this weekend.
| Strictly Come Dancing Next Elimination | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Angela Rippon | 1/3 | 75.0% |
| Annabel Croft | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Angela Scanlon | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Bobby Brazier | 16/1 | 5.9% |
