The judges delivered their verdicts with Craig, Motsi and Anton choosing to save Tasha, meaning this week it was time for Gladiator Montell and her pro-partner Johannes to head home. According to the latest odds there is a contestant who is overwhelmingly the favourite to win the series.
According to Betway, Chris McCausland sits as the favourite. He has had consistent high scores from the judges and a solid audience backing. Sarah Hadland, the current second favourite at 11/2, landed in the top three spots both times, proving she’s absolutely capable of competing.
Latest odds on who is going to win Strictly Come Dancing according to Betaway:
1. Chris McCausland - 1.2
2. Sarah Hadland - 6.5
3. Tasha Ghouri - 10
4. JB Gill - 26

Strictly Come Dancing fans are currently up in arms after details of Pete Wicks' semi-final routines have been disclosed. The BBC programme's official Instagram page shared the dances that Pete and his dance partner Jowita will be performing.
One fan remarked: "Another week and Pete has still avoided the jive ahahahahah the show is fixed mate." Another chimed in: "Why does Pete get to avoid doing a Jive and a Charleston? Those are 2 really difficult dances that everyone else has had to do...seems unfair."
