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!
Remind yourself who left in week ten as the dance-off returned to Strictly. Plus see how viewers reacted to the series first ‘Instant dance’ challenge.
