- Rose Ayling-Ellis returns as Bookmakers Favourite in Strictly
- 500/1 Shot Judi Love saved by Judges in the dance-off again
- John Whaite and AJ Odudu given top 3 berth in the betting by Bookmakers
After week 4 and the predictable exit of Greg Wise, Rose Ayling-Ellis has returned to the favourite's position to win the Glitterball this series.
She has been betting sites favourite on a couple of occasions but has recently been replaced at the top of the betting by John Whaite and AJ Odudu, but her week 4 performance has put her and partner Giovanni Pernice back at the head of the betting.

Love Judi
There has once again been an outpouring of disbelief that Judi Love was in the bottom three after Dan Walker's wooden performance this week, but the Judges saved Judi and sent home Greg instead so she lives to dance another day.
She remains the complete outsider to win show, however, and we await to see the next elimination betting in the week once the dances are announced. She is likely to end up in the dance off once again though.
Ugo Return but not in top 3
Ugo Monye missed this week after injury and subsequent surgery, so we await news on his recovery and participation next week. He remains alongside Judi in the outsider's position at 150/1 to win in the Strictly Come dancing betting
And whilst there has been movement at the top of the betting, the top 3 celebrities, Rose Ayling Ellis, John Whaite and AJ Odudu are all well clear in the betting of Tom Fletcher at 20/1
