Shayne Ward starts the week as the favourite to be the next eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing
Strictly Come Dancing enters a fresh new week and betting sites are already offering odds on who will be the next celebrity eliminated from the show on Saturday night.
Shayne Ward and his partner Nancy Xu were placed in the dreaded dance-off for the second time this series at the weekend after a tough Paso Doble.
Ward performed his dance to In The Hall Of The Mountain King by Grieg and scored 31 points out of a possible 40 despite judges giving harsh comments about the choreography.
Viewers of the show ultimately didn't vote for Shayne after that dance which saw him then go up against Punam Krishan and Gorka Marquez in Sunday evening's dance-off.
Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all voted to save Ward but Bet365's latest market now suggests that Ward will leave the show this weekend.
| Strictly Come Dancing Next Elimination | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Shayne Ward | 15/8 | 34.8% |
| Sam Quek | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| JB Gill | 10/3 | 23.1% |
| Wynne Evans | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Montell Douglas | 10/1 | 9.1% |

Punam Krishan became the latest celebrity eliminated at the weekend
After heading into the weekend as the favourite to leave the show it was no big surprise to see Punam Krishan the latest celebrity eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing.
Dr Punam finished joint-bottom of the judges leaderboard with 26 points alongside Chris McCausland but found herself in the dance-off while Chris sailed through.
Despite leaving the show this week Krishan will be extremely proud of the journey she has made on Strictly with her Bollywood-inspired Couples Choice still one of the iconic dances of the series so far.

Chris McCausland still favourite to win the show this year
Despite finishing joint-bottom of the judges leaderboard this past weekend, Chris McCausland remains the odds-on favourite to win this year's Strictly.
Bookies shortened his odds to just 1/3 on Friday after a massive few weeks saw him soar in popularity with viewers at home.
McCausland is Strictly's first-ever blind contestant and he and partner Dianne Buswell have impressed everyone with their choreography so far this series.
The Scouse comedian's low finish on the judges leaderboard at the weekend saw his odds drift ever so slightly to 1/2 but he's still clear favourite to win the show.
| Strictly Come Dancing 2024 Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Chris McCausland | 1/2 | 66.7% |
| Tasha Ghouri | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Sarah Hadland | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Jamie Borthwick | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Montell Douglas | 25/1 | 3.8% |
