Chris McCausland shortens further to win this year's Strictly Come Dancing after continuing to impress
Another week of Strictly Come Dancing goes by and another week starts with Chris McCausland as the favourite to win with Betting Sites after another dance sees him get massive praise from the judges and viewers at home.
McCausland performed a Salsa to Men at Work’s ‘Down Under’ alongside his Australian professional dancer Dianne Buswell and she’ll have felt comfortable and right at home alongside her celebrity partner during the dance.
The Liverpool comedian is Strictly Come Dancing’s first ever blind contestant and his dancing rhythm and fantastic footwork have shocked viewers and the judging panel with how good he has performed on the show so far.
William Hill have shortened his odds into favourite for a number of weeks now and he remains that way after Week 4 with his latest odds sitting at 8/11 to be crowned winner and lift the famous glitterball trophy.
Those latest odds imply a 57.9% chance that he wins the show this year and Buswell finally winning the show as the professional dancer in her eight series on Strictly, with her previous best placing in second with Joe Sugg in 2018 and Bobby Brazier last year.
| Strictly Come Dancing 2024 Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Chris McCausland | 8/11 | 57.9% |
| Tasha Ghouri | 11/4 | 26.7% |
| Sarah Hadland | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| JB Gill | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Pete Wicks | 20/1 | 4.8% |

Tasha Ghouri scored first 10s of the season
Tasha Ghouri remains second favourite behind McCausland after she received the first 10 of the season for her magnificent Charleston to Anne Marie and Shania Twain song Unhealthy.
All three of Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke gave Tasha full marks with a 10 out of 10 after she showed just how good of a dancer she is with another stunning performance.
Ghouri is arguably the best dancer on the show this series with her previous week’s performances seeing her top the judges leaderboard on Week 2, 3 and at the weekend for Week 4.
Even Craig Revel-Horwood was impressed at Ghouri’s Charleston with her professional partner Aljaž Škorjanec giving the couple a 9 and it will be no surprise to see her get a perfect 40 for one of her dances in the coming weeks.
Nick Knowles was latest celebrity eliminated from Strictly
Nick Knowles was the latest celebrity eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing this series after he lost the dance-off on Sunday’s show against former X Factor winner Shayne Ward.
DIY SOS Presenter Knowles had missed Week 3 with a knee injury following an arm injury earlier in the series and this eventually saw him land in the Dance-Off at the weekend after a performance in which you could tell he was struggling.
His Charleston noticeably saw him struggle to do some of the moves due to his knee injury and ultimately was the reason why he is out of the show now after losing to Shayne Ward.
