Nikita Kanda is the favourite to be the next celebrity to be eliminated on Strictly Come Dancing this week
Lights, Camera, Action... It's movie week on Strictly Come Dancing this week and Nikita Kanda is the favourite with bookmakers to be the Box Office flop and be eliminated from the show.
Kanda featured in the bottom two last week after another poor performance but ultimately won the Dance-Off against Les Dennis who became the first celebrity voted out.
It's likely that she'll be in the bottom two once more this week with the latest betting odds putting her at odds-on to be the next celebrity who is voted off from Strictly this year.
William Hill's betting market suggests that there's a 66% chance of Kanda being the next celebrity to leave with Jody Cundy the second favourite in the odds at 3/1.
| Strictly Come Dancing Next Elimination | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Nikita Kanda
|
1/2 | 66.7% |
| Jody Cundy

3/1 | 25.0% |

Nigel Harman moved into favourite earlier this week after impressive start to show
Bookies are also giving odds on who will win the show this year with Casualty actor Nigel Harman moving into favourite after an impressive first couple of dances in the Strictly ballroom.
Bobby Brazier had been favourite ever since the celebs were first announced and his odds shortened after the opening week but back-to-back strong showings from Harman saw him eclipse Brazier as favourite.
William Hill have moved Harman into 15/8 with the latest betting odds suggesting there's a 34% chance of him winning this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing.
| Strictly Come Dancing Winner 2023 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Nigel Harman | 15/8 | 34.8% |
| Bobby Brazier
|
7/2 | 22.2% |
| Angela Scanlon | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| Layton Williams
