Favourite to leave Strictly Come Dancing 2023 this weekend revealed

Can you see this happening?

The routines for Strictly Come Dancing 2023’s Movie Week are in the can… but which celebrity’s end credits are set to roll, according to the betting odds?

Les Dennis was the first famous face to leave the Strictly ballroom last weekend. He and pro partner Nancy Xu lost out in the dance off in what fans reckoned was the “right decision”.

However, despite being tipped to be a leading contender for elimination, the bookies didn’t actually price Les up as the most likely to go first.

Strictly 2023 betting odds: Week 3

Instead, DJ Nikita Kanda was considered the favourite to be the first to depart.

She and her pro partner Gorka Marquez were indeed in the bottom two, along with Les and Nancy.

And while Nikita survived to dance another day, the bookies still don’t believe she will get much further in the competition.

Who is the favourite to be the second celebrity to leave Strictly 2023?

That’s because, at 5/6, Nikita is rated most likely by BitcoinCasinos.com to leave at this Movie Week stage.

Jody Cundy, meanwhile, is considered to be the 3/1 second favourite to go. He dances with pro Jowita Przystal, who was victorious in 2022 alongside Hamza Yassin.
