Pete Wicks and JB Gill are the top two favourites to be eliminated from Strictly this week
Betting odds continue to be offered on this year's Strictly Come Dancing with UK betting sites now making two celebrities well clear of the rest to be the next to leave.
Pete Wicks heads into another weekend as the odds-on favourite to leave Strictly after another weekend went by with the former TOWIE star finishing bottom of the judges leaderboard.
Despite this though he has still not featured in the dreaded dance-off but betting sites suggest that this weekend will finally be the one where we see him land in the bottom two.
Wicks is now 8/15 to leave with Bet365 and those odds give an implied probability of 65.2% that he is eliminated, with JLS star JB Gill following just behind in the betting market at 12/5.
| Strictly Come Dancing Next Elimination | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Pete Wicks | 8/15 | 65.2% |
| JB Gill | 12/5 | 29.4% |
| Tasha Ghouri | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Sarah Hadland | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Chris McCausland | 18/1 | 5.3% |

Chris McCausland now shortest price he has been the show
Earlier this week, OLBG reported that Chris McCausland had shortened down to just 1/5 to win Strictly after he had another strong performance on the ballroom.
McCausland is Strictly's first ever blind contestant and he has impressed both judges and viewers throughout the series with his superb dances.
Throughout the show we've seen his odds tumble week-by-week and now at the Semi-Final stage he is as short as 1/5 to lift the famous Glitterball trophy.
