Ellie Taylor is now the 7/4 favourite to leave Strictly this week
Bookmakers have made Ellie Taylor the new favourite to leave Strictly this weekend at 7/4, coming in from the 11/4 odds she was at the start of the week.
Kym Marsh has been the favourite to leave the show but has drifted slightly in the market to second favourite behind Taylor.
William Hill make Ellie Simmonds the third favourite just ahead of Fleur East who appeared in the Dance-Off once again last weekend.
| Strictly Next Elimination | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Ellie Taylor | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| Kym Marsh | 10/3 | 23.1% |
| Ellie Simmonds | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Fleur East | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Tony Adams | 6/1 | 14.3% |
Fleur East is now 5/1 to be voted out next and it could well happen with the public seemingly not liking her dancing according to the two dance-off appearances.
Hamza Yassin remains the betting favourite to win the show
Hamza Yassin remains odds on to win Strictly Come Dancing after another strong performance on the show last weekend.
His 33 points scored this past weekend put him joint fourth in the leaderboard but he's still the heavy favourite to win the series.
Yassin is 4/7 to win the show, just a fortnight after the Scottish wildlife cameraman was 9/4 to win Strictly.
| Strictly Come Dancing Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Hamza Yassin | 1/2 | 66.7% |
| Helen Skelton
|
9/2 | 16.7% |
| Will Mellor | 9/1 | 11.8% |
| Tyler West
|
10/1 | 9.1% |
| Tony Adams | 20/1 | 4.8% |
Will Mellor has continued to drift in the betting market after previously being favourite to win the show in its early stages.
Bookies now give Mellor a 10% chance of winning Strictly this year with Yassin's chances at 66% according to the odds.
