Chris McCausland is now as short as 1/12 to win Strictly Come Dancing
Comedian Chris McCausland is now as short as 1/12 with UK betting sites to win this year's Strictly Come Dancing after yet another week goes by with him sailing through the competition.
McCausland is Strictly's first ever blind contestant and viewers have watched his journey throughout the process as he and professional partner Diane Buswell come to grips with a brand-new Strictly process.
Support for the comedian has followed throughout the show with his odds tumbling down week-by-week and now as we enter final week he is the shortest price we have seen so far.
Bet365's latest betting market has McCausland as the 1/12 favourite to win the show this Saturday night with those odds giving an implied probability of 92.3% that he is crowned champion of the ballroom this weekend.
The famous glitterball trophy is set to be awarded on Saturday with no real contenders in the market for the crown and it looks nailed on for McCausland to win the show according to the betting odds.
| Strictly Come Dancing 2024 Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Chris McCausland | 1/12 | 83.3% |
| JB Gill | 12/1 | 13.3% |
| Sarah Hadland | 20/1 | 7.7% |
| Tasha Ghouri | 33/1 | 3.8% |
JLS star JB Gill is second favourite in the betting odds
JLS star JB Gill sits as second favourite in the betting market to win Strictly this year but his odds are out to 12/1 ahead of Saturday night's final.
JB has moved above both Sarah Hadland and Tasha Ghouri as second favourite after a stunning 40 at the weekend saw him get a handshake from judge Craig Revel Horwood.
Ghouri was once again in the dance-off despite also being given a 40 on Saturday night which may show that viewers have not warmed to her as much as other contestants.
Pete Wicks was the final celebrity eliminated on Strictly
After multiple weeks of finishing bottom of the judges leaderboard, former TOWIE star Pete Wicks finally saw himself appear in the dreaded dance-off on Saturday night after again getting the lowest scores.
This was ultimately the end of Wicks' time on Strictly as he went up against Tasha in the dance-off in what was a non-contest in terms of their talent.
Viewers saw Pete become the final celebrity eliminated from Strictly on Sunday evening with Saturday's final seeing the remaining 4 celebs battle against each other for the Glitterball trophy.
