Newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy is the early favourite to be first to leave this year's Strictly Come Dancing
The new series of Strictly Come Dancing is almost upon us with the launch show set to air on the BBC this Saturday and UK Betting Sites are offering odds on the show.
As always the standard winner market is here for the new series but bookies are already offering odds on who the first celebrity to leave the series will be this year.
Channel 4 newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy is the early favourite at 5/2 to be the first celebrity to be eliminated on this year's series with the market tight over who will go.
Jody Cundy and Les Dennis follow just behind Guru-Murthy in the betting market with William Hill offering the odds on the first celebrity to leave Strictly.

What the expert says...
Bobby Brazier moves back into favourite to win this year's Strictly
Betting on the Strictly Come Dancing winner has already chopped and changed right around and we'll likely see more change in the market after Saturday's launch show.
The launch show will be where we officially see who each celebrity is partnered up with, although we have already seen various leaks appear, and this should move the market around.
Bobby Brazier was favourite when the celebrities were first announced before drifting slightly, but he is now back into favourite to win this year's Strictly series.
