Nigel Harman remains the clear favourite to win this year's Strictly Come Dancing
Another week of Strictly Come Dancing is now done with celebrities having their third dance on the show and betting is one again available with UK Betting Sites around who will win this year.
Actor Nigel Harman went into this weekend's show as 7/4 favourite to win and he stays at the top of the market with his odds drifting ever so slightly to 2/1 to grab the glitter ball.

William Hill though have kept Harman as the favourite to win Strictly this year but his odds now say there's a 33% chance that he wins the show this year.

What the expert says...
Bobby Brazier stays second favourite in the market after stunning samba
Eastenders actor Bobby Brazier stays in the second spot in the betting market to win Strictly after a cracking samba on Saturday's show saw judges give him a total score of 32.
Brazier's samba to Candi Staton's 'Young Hearts Run Free' saw big support by the judges with all four of them giving him and partner Dianne Buswell a score of 8.
Brazier now has a 25% chance of winning Strictly Come Dancing this year and if he carries on the way that he's started the series then there's a decent chance of him doing so.

Nikita Kanda was the second celebrity eliminated from Strictly this year
Prior to this week, Nikita Kanda faced off against Les Dennis in the first dance-off in the 2023 series of Strictly Come Dancing and that was repeated again at the weekend.
Kanda scored a total of 21 points to finish second bottom above Jody and Jowita but it was Zara McDermott and Graziano that she faced in the dance-off this weekend.
All judges voted to save Zara and Graziano in the dance-off seeing Nikita Kanda leave the show and she was the favourite with bookies to go before Saturday's show kicked off.
Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Jody Cundy are now both outsiders to win Strictly at 200/1 and 250/1 respectively so they may well be the new favourites to be next eliminated.
