Tony Adams is the bookies favourite to be the first celebrity voted off this year's Strictly
Former footballer Tony Adams is the bookies favourite to be the first celebrity voted off Strictly Come Dancing this year.
Adams put in a disastrous performance in Week One and finished bottom of the leaderboard with 15 points.
William Hill have made him the 5/4 favourite to be voted off first this series, with Adams fully expected to at least be in the dance off.
| Strictly first elimination | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Tony Adams | 5/4 | 44.4% |
| Kaye Adams | 15/8 | 34.8% |
| Matt Goss | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| James Bye | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Kaye Adams is second favourite to go this week and it seems like a two horse race on who will leave judging by the betting odds.
Singer Matt Goss and Eastenders Actor James Bye wrap up the betting market on who will go first.
Will Mellor is the 6/4 favourite to win the show after an impressive first week
Will Mellor is the 6/4 favourite to win Strictly after an impressive first week saw him top the scoreboard alongside Hamza Yassin.
Manchester actor Mellor got a joint top score of 34 with Yassin also getting 34 from the judges in the first show.
Paddy Power make Mellor the 6/4 favourite, coming in from the 11/2 that he was on Friday before the first celebrity dances.
| Strictly Come Dancing Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Will Mellor | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Helen Skelton | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Fleur East | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Kym Marsh | 9/1 | 10.0% |
| Tyler West | 9/1 | 10.0% |
Hamza Yassin is 12/1 to win the show despite also getting 34 points alongside Will Mellor with bookmakers not shortening his odds further.
Next weekend's show will see the first dancer leave, with Tony Adams favourite to go after his poor showing in Week One.
Motsi Mabuse is expected to give the first 10 of the series according to the betting odds
Motsi Mabuse remains the 7/4 favourite to be the first judge to award 10 points on this year's Strictly.
Motsi gave the first 10 of last year's series to Rhys Stephenson and Nancy Xu and bookies make her the outright favourite to do the same this year.
The first 10 came in Week Three so we may see it happen within the next two shows especially after last week's impressive first show.
| First Judge to give 10 points | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Motsi Mabuse | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| Anton du Beke | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Shirley Ballas | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Craig Revel Horwood | 6/1 | 14.3% |
