First Elimination: Tom Skinner Bows Out
Tom Skinner became the first celebrity to be eliminated from the series after a tough opening fortnight.
Despite his enthusiasm, the entrepreneur’s 13-point score left him bottom of the leaderboard and the judges unanimously voted to save Chris and Nadiya in the show’s first dance-off.
Skinner’s exit, combined with Clarke’s continued dominance, has added fresh clarity to the early winner betting market.
As Week 3 approaches, all eyes will be on whether Clarke can maintain his near-perfect start.
With his odds shortening again, bookmakers clearly believe he’s on course to become one of the most dominant favourites in recent Strictly history.
