According to bookmakers’ predictions, Strictly Come Dancing duo Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal might not make it to the final.

The remaining celebrities are set to hit the dance floor on Saturday night, vying for a spot in the Strictly final.

Despite consistently ranking at the bottom of the leaderboard, Pete has been saved week after week. However, his luck may run out this weekend.

Betway’s Mike Reading shared his thoughts on the betting as we near the semi-final of this year’s competition: “The latest odds suggest this week’s Strictly elimination is a two-horse race between Pete Wicks (4/9) and JB Gill (9/4) to stay in the competition.

“Pete has been at the bottom of the leaderboard for three consecutive weeks, making him the odds-on favourite to leave this Sunday. However, he’s never faced the dreaded dance-off thanks to unwavering public support,” reports the Liverpool Echo.

He further commented: “Pete will need every vote he can muster this weekend as the pressure ramps up with couples performing two dances each. If it comes to a dance-off, it’s tough to see him outshining JB, who topped the leaderboard just last week!

“As for the rest of the field, the odds suggest Tasha Ghouri (10/1), Sarah Hadland (14/1), and Chris McCausland (20/1) are much longer shots to get the boot this weekend, and they are well-placed to reach this year’s final.”

Tasha Ghouri is currently leading the pack on Strictly Come Dancing, with a supercomputer from FruitySlots.com predicting her as the frontrunner to win the Glitterball Trophy.

The analysis, which considers the latest scores, places Tasha and her dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec at the top with an impressive 42.7 percent chance of victory.

Sarah Hadland is not far behind, holding a 21.1 percent chance of triumphing ahead of the semi-final stage.

JLS’s JB Gill, despite topping Saturday night’s leaderboard, is pegged at a 19.9 percent likelihood of winning, ranking him third in the race for this year’s title.

A spokesperson for FruitySlots.com commented: “As the likes of Tasha Ghouri, Sarah Hadland and JB Gill continue to impress week after week, the competition is intensifying with the semi-finals just around the corner. Fan favourites Pete Wicks and Chris McCausland now face a tough challenge, with both at risk of missing out on a spot in the BBC One grand finale.”

They added: “Following Montell Douglas’ exit on Sunday night, our supercomputer predicts that either contestant could be the next to leave. With the Glitterball Trophy now within reach, it’s anyone’s game – who will step up and secure their place in the final?”

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturday at 6.30pm on BBC One.
