Strictly Come Dancing Odds: Lewis Spooks Rivals With Perfect Halloween Score
We're only just into November, but the Strictly Come Dancing judges have already awarded their first perfect score of the series.
Lewis Cope has been backed on betting sites after he spooked his rivals in Halloween Week with a 40 out of 40 score.
Strictly fans had to wait until Week 10 last year to see the first perfect score of the season, but the Latin and ballroom show die-hards were given a treat, rather than a trick, last Saturday night.
Karen Carney narrowly missed out on a 40-point score by two points, and there were also strong Halloween Week performances from Alex Kingston, Amber Davies and La Voix.
However, Ellie Goldstein finished one place off the bottom of the leaderboard, with 27 points, and she went home after losing out to EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal in the dreaded dance-off.
Cope Creeps Closer To Clarke
Former Emmerdale actor Lewis has been nowhere near the dance-off this series, and doesn't look like being in one anytime soon if his Halloween Week performance was anything to go by.
Lewis and his pro dance partner Katya Jones scored 10 out of 10 from all four judges for their Couple's Choice dance to Radiohead's Creep.
Following his Halloween exploits, Cope has crept closer to frontrunner George Clarke in the outright market on entertainment betting sites.
Lewis is 9/4 with William Hill for Glitterball Trophy glory, from 9/2 last week.
George was odds-on at one stage of the competition, but he drifted to 11/10 last week and is now 6/4 with William Hill for Strictly victory after amassing 29 points last time out.
Alex was the big market mover last week, after she was cut from 14/1 to 11/2 to win the series, and the Doctor Who actress' price continues to tumble.
Kingston is just 5/1 with Bet365 to be this year's Strictly queen following a steamy Saturday night salsa, and she is as short as 7/2 with some UK bookmakers.
Amber Punters See Red
Former Love Island star Amber is doing everything she possibly can to impress Strictly punters - but nothing is working.
Last Saturday night, she scored 35 points for her Viennese waltz to Everybody Loves an Outlaw's I See Red, but she remains a massive 33/1 across the betting apps boards to win this year's Strictly.
Vicky Pattison has been putting in solid displays, but she drifted for the second consecutive week.
The former Geordie Shore star is now 11/1 to lift the Glitterball aloft in December, from a best price of 8/1 last week.
But ex-England Lioness Karen has had a resurgence.
Following her 38-point Argentine tango on Saturday night, she is just 9/1 with some UK bookmakers.
However, Carney is a best-priced 16/1 to triumph this year.
Bye Bye Bal?
Balvinder won her third dance-off in a row on Sunday night, but can she sustain such form?
It looks unlikely, and the UK bookmakers agree, because the Albert Square actress is 4/6 favourite with Bet365 to be eliminated next.
If she does end up in the next dance-off, she may have a Gladiator to contend with.
That's because Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, who finished bottom of the leaderboard last time out, is 11/4 second favourite to depart in Week Seven.
Strictly Come Dancing 2025 Odds: Next Elimination:
Contestant | Odds | Bookmaker |
Balvinder Sopal | 4/6 | |
Harry Aikines-Aryeetey | 11/4 | |
La Voix | 7/1 | |
Amber Davies | 12/1 | |
Karen Carney | 16/1 | |
Alex Kingston | 33/1 | |
Vicky Pattison | 50/1 | |
George Clarke | 66/1 | |
Lewis Cope | 100/1 |
(Odds correct at the time of publish: 1.45pm - 3/11/2025)
Drag queen La Voix finished joint-third in the leaderboard with 35 points thanks to her pulsating paso doble.
It was her highest score of the series by seven points, but she is third favourite to go home next.
La Voix is 6/1 with Bet365, followed by 11/1 chance Amber.
It would be hugely unjust if Amber went, considering how great her performances have been throughout the series, but it wouldn't be a massive surprise if the public put her in the bottom two for a second time this series.
