With just two more weeks until Elstree Studios hosts the grand final, there’s a new favourite to win Strictly Come Dancing.
Although former Coronation Street actress Natalie Gumede has been the front-runner for most of the series, singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor is now the 9/4 pick to claim the glitter ball trophy, according to odds comparison site easyodds.com.
Gumede is now 5/2 second favourite, ahead of BBC Breakfast presenter Susanna Reid (7/2) and model Abbey Clancy (4/1).
The only male celebrity left in the competition, actor Patrick Robinson, is also the outsider to win the competition at 33/1 – and the favourite to be the next contestant eliminated at odds of 8/13.
