Comedian Chris McCausland is the 10/11 favourite to win this year's Strictly Come Dancing
This year's Strictly Come Dancing continued at the weekend with Movie Week seeing another bunch of fantastic dances from the celebrities and their professional partners.
Comedian Chris McCausland has now been backed into odds-on to win the show with Betting Sites after he put in another great performance with a dance to the Waynes World theme during Movie Week.
McCausland is the show's first ever blind contestant and viewers and judges have been impressed by his incredible talent despite that in the opening three weeks.
His professional partner Dianne Buswell has been praised for her stunning choreography in the opening three dances and they are now at 10/11 to be the winning pair this year.
Those odds from William Hill now suggest a 52.4% chance that McCausland is crowned the King of the Ballroom and lifts the Glitterball trophy at the end of the series.

Tasha Ghouri follows McCausland in the betting market
Tasha Ghouri sits as second favourite in the latest odds list with the bookies keeping her at 3/1 in the market behind McCausland.
Ghouri has now topped the judges leaderboard in back-to-back weeks after two stunning dances with her 34 points scored at the weekend.
The betting odds still suggest a 25% chance that she wins the show this year with her odds seeing her as the main competitor behind McCausland.
Ghouri was born deaf and is the second deaf contestant to appear on the show after actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, who won Strictly Come Dancing back in 2021.

Toyah Willcox was the latest celebrity eliminated from the show this year
Toyah Willcox became the second celebrity eliminated from this year's Strictly Come Dancing at the weekend after scoring just 15 points for her Samba.
Willcox was up against former footballer Paul Merson in the dance-off with all four judges deciding to save Paul and Karen Hauer in their voting.
Merson is now the odds-on favourite to be voted out next week with the latest market putting him at 4/6 ahead of Nick Knowles.
Knowles missed this week through injury and it's still not confirmed that he'll be back and ready to dance next week.
