I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • Balvinder Sopal is 4/11 favourite to be eliminated ahead of next week’s Strictly final

  • Semi-final sees two dances each including Waltzes, Tangos and a standout Couple’s Choice from Amber Davies

One Elimination Left Before the Grand Final

The Strictly Come Dancing 2025 semi-final arrives this weekend and the pressure is on with just one more celebrity set to leave before the glittering finale. 

Each of the four remaining couples will dance twice on Saturday night, with scores from the judges and public votes combining to decide the final three.

According to the latest odds from bet365, Balvinder Sopal is the overwhelming favourite to be eliminated, despite making show history by surviving a record five dance-offs this series.

Bookmakers continue to offer odds on both the elimination and winner markets for this year's series with just two episodes left.

Balvinder's odds suggest her run may finally come to an end, with Amber Davies next most likely to depart according to the market.

The betting market remains tight at the top, with George Clarke and Karen Carney locked in a two-horse race to win the Glitterball trophy. 

Clarke edges it for now, but Karen’s momentum could shift the odds once again if she nails her semi-final performances.

What the expert says...
Balvinder has defied the odds repeatedly with a run of five dance-off wins, but the semi-final could be one too far. Karen and George both look like winners already but another perfect score from Amber could shake things up this weekend!
