Now though Brazier is back at the top of the betting market at 11/4 to win the show with eagle eyed viewers potentially reading the leaked couple spoilers before putting a bet on.

What the expert says...
Krishnan Guru-Murthy is the 5/2 favourite to be the first celebrity eliminated this season
Channel 4 newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy is the betting favourite to be the first celebrity eliminated from this year's Strictly Come Dancing with odds already offered on who will go first.
Tomorrow night's launch show was pre-recorded earlier this month and the celebrities will likely just have a group dance with early glimpses on how they look in that dance.
The live shows start a week tomorrow and that will be the first time we see the celebrities dance, with the first elimination on the show expected the week after towards the end of the month.
| Strictly Come Dancing 2023 First Elimination | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Krishnan Guru-Murthy
|
5/2 | 28.6% |
| Jody Cundy | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Les Dennis | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Amanda Abbington
|
11/2 | 15.4% |
| Nikita Kanda | 11/2 | 15.4% |
