Sarah Hadland is the latest big mover in the betting odds to win this year's Strictly
English actress Sarah Hadland has now been backed into 5/2 to win this year's Strictly Come Dancing after a stunning dance on Icons Week saw her finish third on the leaderboard.
Judges were impressed by Hadland's Cha-Cha-Cha to Madonna's Like A Prayer on Saturday night's show and gave her a total score of 37 with three 9's and a 10.
Betting sites have now slashed her odds of winning the show into 5/2 with Hadland moving ahead of Tasha Ghouri in the betting market to be crowned winner.
William Hill's latest market sees Hadland's odds cut from 6/1 on Friday to second favourite that she is now with the competition hotting up.

Shayne Ward and Wynne Evans joint favourites to leave Strictly next
Betting odds are already given on next weekend's elimination with Shayne Ward and Wynne Evans the joint favourites at 7/4 to be the next to leave the show.
Ward and his dance partner Nancy Xu have appeared in the dreaded dance-off twice already this series and bookmakers have had him favourite to leave for the past two weekend's.
It's the same again this week but the singer and actor has a new joint favourite alongside him to leave with Opera singer and BBC Radio Wales presenter Wynne also 7/4 to go.

| Shayne Ward | 7/4 | 36.4% |

| Pete Wicks | 9/1 | 10.0% |
Sam Quek was latest celebrity to leave Strictly this weekend
Sunday night's dance-off saw Sam Quek go head-to-head against Montell Douglas with the latter being put through by the judges.
All four judges voted to save Montell and her partner Johannes Radebe for their Waltz to Whitney Houston classic I Will Always Love You.
Montell's appearance in the dance-off came as a shock and she went up against Olympic Hockey star Quek, with judges scoring Quek's American Smooth a 29 on Saturday night.
Taylor Swift's Love Story couldn't give Quek the story she wanted this weekend with the judges ultimately deciding that it was her time to leave the competition.
