Hamza Yassin is the 1/2 favourite to win this year's Strictly ahead of the final
Hamza Yassin remains favourite to win this year's Strictly Come Dancing according to the latest bookie odds ahead of this weekend's final.
Yassin has long been favourite for the show ever since the early weeks after impressing both judges and viewers for his natural ability on the Strictly dancefloor.
William Hill have kept Yassin favourite and shortened his odds from the 8/13 he was last week to 1/2 now, giving him a 66% chance of winning.
| Strictly Come Dancing Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Hamza Yassin | 1/2 | 66.7% |
| Helen Skelton | 13/8 | 38.1% |
| Molly Rainford | 25/1 | 3.8% |
| Fleur East | 40/1 | 2.4% |
Long-time third favourite Will Mellor was eliminated this past weekend after appearing in the dance-off for the first time against Fleur East.
Unfortunately for Mellor, he saved one of his worst performances for the semi-final with judges criticising his Paso.
Helen Skelton remains second favourite at 13/8 according to the latest odds
Helen Skelton has been the biggest market mover in recent weeks with her odds to win the show slowly closing in week-by-week.
It's been suggested that Saturday's final will be a head-to-head battle between Skelton and Yassin but anything can happen in the votes.
Skelton has drifted slightly in the past week's odds and we've seen her implied probability dropping from 42% to 38%.

Molly Rainford and Fleur East are the outsiders for this year's Strictly
Bookies have made Molly Rainford and Fleur East the rank outsiders to win this year's Strictly as we head into the final of the show.
At odds of 25/1 and 40/1 respectively, it seems unlikely that either will win it although with the final fully voted for by the public it may well come down to fine margins.
Both Rainford and East have appeared in the Dance-Off four times each in the show with 8 of the 12 week's featuring one of the two dancing for survival.
Neither Yassin or Skelton have been in the Dance-Off at any point this season.
