Comedian Chris McCausland tops the betting market to win Strictly Come Dancing
Betting odds remain available on this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing with comedian Chris McCausland still the odds-on favourite with UK betting sites to lift the famous Glitterball trophy at the end of the series.
McCausland and his professional partner Dianne Buswell performed an emotional Couple's Choice on Saturday night which gave the story of the comedian's life as a blind man in the pre-dance VT.
The Scouser was seen placing his hands over Buswell's eyes before the room faded to black to imitate what McCausland sees when he dances on the show.
This performance was scored 33 out of a possible 40 by the judges but has kept him at the top of the betting market to win the show this year.
William Hill's latest betting odds suggest a 66% chance of him being crowned winner of Strictly with the market tightening up in recent weeks.
