The next on the list is former boyband member JB Gill who is 16/1, with Miranda actor Sarah Hadland and model, author and Love Island contestant Tasha Gouri further back at 28/1 and 33/1 respectively.
Lee Astley, spokesperson for BetIdeas, said: “Comedian Chris McCausland continues to shorten in the market to win Strictly Come Dancing’s grand final on Saturday night.
“McCausland was as short as 1/12 yesterday, but support continues to flood in as his odds have been cut into 1/16, an implied probability of 94% to take home the Glitterball Trophy this weekend. The comedian’s grip on the trophy looks firm as JB Gill stands as the nearest contender to McCausland in the market at 16/1, with both Sarah Hadland (28/1) and Tasha Gouri’s (33/1) chances looking even slimmer.”
Last weekend previous fan favourite Pete Wicks was voted off by viewers, despite previously strong public support making up for less impressive dancing ability.
