Betting remains available on this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing with UK Betting Sites offering odds on who will be the next celebrity to be eliminated.

Guru-Murthy scored a total of 29 points last weekend which saw him finish fourth bottom in the judges leaderboard and it may be that this weekend he sees himself in the bottom two of the voting.
William Hill's latest betting odds put him as the favourite to leave next with Annabel Croft second favourite and last weekend's dance-off winner Angela Rippon at 7/2 third favourite in the market.
