I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • Alex Kingston’s odds cut from 25/1 to 8/1 after topping Saturday’s leaderboard.
  • George Clarke remains 1/1 favourite to win Strictly 2025.
  • Stefan Dennis 4/5 favourite to be eliminated next, with Balvinder Sopal second-favourite at 5/2.

Alex Kingston Shortens to 8/1 After Leaderboard Surge

The Strictly Come Dancing 2025 race just got more interesting, with Alex Kingston now the biggest mover in the betting after topping the leaderboard with a dazzling Saturday night performance.

Her odds to win the show have been slashed from 25/1 to just 8/1 with William Hill, signalling a major shift in market confidence. 

While George Clarke still leads the way as even-money favourite, Kingston’s upward trajectory suggests we may have a new contender emerging.

With judge Shirley Ballas calling Kingston the 'Queen of Rumba' on Saturday night the odds now put her as 4th favourite to win the show.

The shake-up in the winner market also comes as Balvinder Sopal lands in the dreaded dance-off again, placing her among the favourites with UK Betting Sites to be eliminated this coming weekend.

George Clarke continues to impress with his composed style and consistent scores from the judges, but Lewis Cope and Vicky Pattison still hold strong positions.

That said, all eyes are now on Alex Kingston, whose breakout Rumba routine saw a surge in public support.

Strictly Next Elimination Odds

Saturday’s dance-off featured Balvinder Sopal and while she survived, her repeated appearances in the bottom two make her a high-risk contestant. 

Meanwhile Stefan Dennis is now the bookies’ favourite for the next elimination.

Expert Insight

What the expert says...
It’s no surprise to see Alex Kingston's odds drop after a standout week as momentum is everything at this stage of Strictly. George Clarke remains the one to beat, but if Kingston keeps this form, she could easily gatecrash the top of the market. As for the elimination odds, Stefan Dennis looks on borrowed time unless he produces something special.
