Overview
- Betway’s latest market, cited by the Mirror and Daily Star, places Balvinder Sopal as the frontrunner to leave with odds of 250/1, with Amber Davies also under pressure at 33/1.
- The same Betway odds have Karen Carney as the current favourite for the Glitterball, with George Clarke second and Lewis Cope still strongly fancied to make the final.
- A GB News update using Grosvenor Sport pricing makes Sopal the favourite for elimination at 1/5, with Davies the second likeliest at 11/2, while George Clarke moves into 9/1 and Lewis Cope shortens to 14/1.
- Former Strictly professional Ola Jordan, speaking for Mecca Bingo, predicts Sopal will go and suggests she could face a stronger dancer in the bottom two, while characterising support for Karen Carney as being pushed, a claim presented as her opinion.
- The quarter-final returns on Saturday for Musicals Week on BBC One, following last weekend’s exit of Alex Kingston and Johannes Radebe after a dance-off with Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon.
