Pete Wicks heads into this weekend as the favourite to leave Strictly
Former TOWIE star Pete Wicks is now the odds-on favourite to leave Strictly Come Dancing this weekend after finishing bottom of the judges leaderboard for 3 of the last 4 weeks.
Wicks, despite those bottom place finishes, has still not appeared in the dreaded dance-off but UK betting sites now feel that this weekend will be time for him to do so and ultimately leave.
Montell Douglas follows Wicks in the market and she has previously been in the dance-off three times including last weekend where she beat Eastenders star Jamie Borthwick.
The Gladiator and Olympic Sprinter Douglas has consistently scored well with the judges but viewers haven't warmed to her with the voting seeing her struggle to leave the bottom two.
Bet365's market though sees her winning again in the dance-off with Wicks and Douglas the top two favourites in the odds list.
| Strictly Come Dancing Next Elimination | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Pete Wicks | 4/7 | 63.6% |
| Montell Douglas | 15/8 | 34.8% |
| JB Gill | 6/1 | 14.3% |

Chris McCausland still odds on to win the show this year
Betting odds continue to be offered on who will win Strictly this year with Comedian Chris McCausland remaining the clear favourite in the latest market.
McCausland had been backed in to win the show as early as Week Two and has stayed at the top ever since with the odds now putting him at 1/4 to win Strictly.
Those odds give an implied probability of 80% that McCausland is crowned Strictly winner this year with no real contender in the market.

|---|---|---|
| Chris McCausland | 1/4 | 80.0% |
| Tasha Ghouri | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Sarah Hadland | 6/1 | 14.3% |
