It's Strictly Come Dancing eve with the first live show of the 2023 series taking place on Saturday night and UK Betting Sites are offering odds on which celebrity will win the famous show this year.
Eastenders actor and model Bobby Brazier has been towards the top of the betting market since the line-up was announced and he remains a firm favourite going into the first live show of the series.

What the expert says...
Nikita Kanda is the new favourite to be the first celebrity eliminated from the show this year
Bookies are also offering odds on who the first celebrity will be to be eliminated from the show this year and there's a new favourite in this market with Nikita Kanda going above Krishnan Guru-Murthy in the odds.
As always there will be no elimination on the show in the first weekend so the couples will be able to breathe a sigh of relief if there is any form of mix-up in their first dance.
After the couples were announced though Kanda has moved from 11/2 to the favourite to be the first celebrity to be eliminated with bookies not impressed by her partnership.

|---|---|---|
| Nikita Kanda
|
2/1 | 33.3% |
| Krishnan Guru-Murthy
|
11/4 | 26.7% |
| Jody Cundy | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Les Dennis
|

| Amanda Abbington

8/1 | 11.1% |
