BBC Strictly Come Dancing favourite dealt crushing blow hours before live show

After last weekend's dance-off on Strictly Come Dancing, the odds have been shaken up once again for the BBC competition. According to the bookies, Chris Robshaw has become the most likely to be eliminated, with his odds shortening to Evens (1/1). He's just ahead of Neighbours actor Stefan Dennis at 11/10 and EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal, who has the same odds as the Aussie actor.

However, the pressure is on for Stefan to pull out all the stops when he performs the Charleston to Dance Monkey by Tones and I with his professional partner Dianne Buswell. Speaking on behalf of Megaway Slots provider Spin Genie, a rep told Express.co.uk: "After last weekend's dance-off, which left Strictly fans reeling as favourite Balvinder landed in the bottom two alongside Ross King, it's clear that no celebrity is truly safe.

"That could spell trouble for Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis and his fan-favourite professional partner Dianne Buswell heading into this week's competition."

They said Stefan will need to prove he's back to his best after pulling out of the competition last week due to illness.

They added: "If he fails to impress, his Strictly journey could be in real danger of ending sooner than expected - and the odds certainly reflect that. He's currently priced at 11/10 to be next eliminated, sitting just behind Chris Robshaw, who has shortened slightly to Evens (1/1), and level with Balvinder Sopal."

Chris was heavily tipped by the bookies to face the dreaded dance-off last weekend, but he seems to have some loyal fans.

"If his streak of luck continues, Stefan may well meet his match if he finds himself up against Balvinder - and that showdown could mark the end of his time on the dancefloor," they concluded.

Strictly Come Dancing airs tomorrow evening on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
