Strictly Come Dancing winner: who is the favourite to win series 23? BBC show gets new frontrunner

Strictly Come Dancing now has a new favourite to win! See how the odds have changed! 💃🕺🚨

Strictly Come Dancing has a new favourite to win, at least according to the bookies. The longtime frontrunner has been dethroned heading into this weekend’s quarter-final.

Just five couples remain in the competition at this point, as the finish line draws near. Yet another star was sent home at the weekend, as the dance-off returned following a brief break.

The Glitterball Trophy is almost within reach for the remaining celebrities. However, the odds have seen a big shake-up recently - and the long-time favourite has now been dethroned.

Oddschecker has released the latest odds, ahead of week 11. It features a new name at the top of the tree.

But who is the new favourite? Here’s all you need to know!
