Pete Wicks has been dealt a devastating blow just hours before the quarter-final.
Despite avoiding the dance-off last weekend, the bookmakers believe this week could be the former reality star’s last. However, it is also not looking good for , who avoided elimination last weekend.
Analysing the latest odds, Betway’s Mike Reading said: “Last week, avoided waltzing off the show despite landing at the bottom of the leaderboard. However, the latest odds suggest his luck is running out, as he’s the 8/11 favourite to leave this weekend.
“Unless Pete delivers a show-stopping performance on Saturday night, he’s very likely to be in the dreaded dance-off, and it’s hard to see him pirouetting past his competition. His potential saving grace could be Montell, who is also in the elimination spotlight with odds of 13/8.”
Discussing who could lift the Glitterball Trophy, Mike added: “Meanwhile, looks like he’s gliding effortlessly toward the final, remaining the rock-solid 1/4 favourite to win the show. His main competition Sarah (11/2) and Tasha (6/1) are still in the running to get their hands on the Glitterball Trophy but face an increasingly uphill tango to unseat the comedian and his devoted fanbase.”

I have such a good bond and relationship with and that’s what made me want to do this show, it’s the people, not what I’m doing. I’ve had the best time.

“I could ramble on all day about this one [Michelle]. She’s a new pro and she’s absolutely been the most amazing teacher. We have laughed like you wouldn’t believe. I have nothing but the utmost respect for everyone on the show, so thank you.”
Michelle added: “I just want to say it goes without saying Jamie is an amazing dancer, and he’s improved so much week by week. He’s worked so hard to get to where he is. It’s my first year with a partner and I’ve realised that it’s so much more than just the dancing, it’s the bonds and the friendships that you make. I waited two years for a partner and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”
