There is just seven contestants left on the current series and betting on Strictly Come Dancing has become a weekly past-time for many, predicting who will be next to be voted off the show having danced their last dance.
Things are hotting up, but they are also getting tight at the bottom. This week's next elimination betting odds have appeared and it is not looking like good news for either Tilly Ramsay or Dan Walker.
Bookmakers suggest 80% probability that we will see Dan Walker and Tilly Ramsay dance-off for survival this week. Tilly Ramsay just the 11/8 favourite to be the next to leave.

It could be suggested that Dan Walker's significant social following and fan base has been instrumental in some of the public voting to date, but right now, there are no two contestant with more social following fans than Tilly Ramsay and a distant third favourite for the chop, Tom Fletcher.
Dan Walker has been criticised as being 'wooden' for weeks, but what will the judges think in show 9?
Tilly Ramsay has survived a dance-off previously, but if Tom Fletcher were to finish in the bottom two and dance for survival it would a first for the McFly star
