Strictly Come Dancing Odds: Wynne Evans Looks Likely To Bow Out In Blackpool

For many Strictly Come Dancing contestants, reaching Blackpool means their series goal has been met. 

The BBC Latin and ballroom show heads up to the Blackpool Tower Ballroom and its iconic sprung dancefloor each year, for one week only. 

Eight celebrities will perform in the seaside town on Saturday night, but only one is odds-on on betting sites to leave the competition on Sunday night. 

Wynne’s Last Dance?  

For Wynne Evans, Blackpool Week could be bittersweet. While he will perform in the iconic ballroom, he is 8/11 favourite to go home the following day. 

Wynne was in last week’s dreaded dance-off for the first time, when he defeated fellow singer Shayne Ward, but punters think he might bow out at Blackpool this time around. 

However, there is a glimmer of hope as his price has grown very slightly to 8/11 with Betfred, from 4/6. 

Despite that, he is still 4/6 with most UK bookmakers, and Wynne’s best hope looks to be if Pete Wicks goes home instead.

Chris’ Nearest Competition Drifts 

In the outright market, Chris McCausland remains odds-on favourite with the bookies despite his dance partner, Dianne Buswell, suffering from a mystery illness this week. 

The comedian – the show’s first-ever blind contestant – is 4/9 with BetVictor, but is now shorter with other UK bookmakers. 

His nearest competition, Sarah Hadland, has grown in price slightly in the last couple of days. 

The Miranda actress is now 7/2 with Boylesports, from 3/1, while third favourite Tasha Ghouri is out to 16/1 from 14/1. 

Who Will Win Strictly Come Dancing 2024 Odds 

For now, it looks likely that the trio will end up in the final three in next month’s finale, but EastEnders star Jamie looks most likely to crash the party.

The Albert Square star is 28/1 for Strictly victory, while JB is into 35/1, from a best price of 40/1 in midweek, to land an unlikely Glitterball Trophy triumph.

Top Marks Tasha 

While JB is getting shorter on betting apps to win this year’s Strictly, it still looks to be a tall order. 

However, one market he might triumph in is to be the first contestant of the series to score a perfect score. 

Ahead of Week 9, the class of 2024 are yet to secure 40 points out of 40. 

There have been five scores of 39 points, with no-nonsense judge Craig Revel Horwood awarding nine, rather than 10 points, on each occasion. 

Strictly Come Dancing 2024: Who Will Score The First 40 Points Odds

She will perform a paso doble on Saturday night, the same routine that Layton Williams danced last year when he scored the first 40 points of the season. 

However, JB isn’t far behind in the market at Evens. 

He will perform a quickstep, which Layton achieved top marks for in last year’s finale.
