Strictly Come Dancing star Bobby Brazier has been hit with bad news ahead of this weekend's final of the BBC dancing competition as bookies predict he's set to lose out on the Glitterball Trophy to another rival contestant.
The EastEnders actor had been the favourite to win the show for weeks and has scored consistently high scores alongside professional dance partner Dianne Buswell thanks to his impressive footwork and entertaining stage presence.
However, after finding himself in the Bottom Two alongside Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe on Sunday, the 20-year-old's chances of becoming a Strictly winner seem to be dwindling.
The one not to watch is said to be 22-year-old Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola who have now been tipped for victory after a knockout season, the Mirror reports.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "All the signs are pointing towards a comfortable night for Ellie this weekend... she's headed the betting for some time now, and anything other than a win for the Corrie star would be considered a major upset at this point."
The odds for Ellie Leach are currently sitting at 1/10, while it's 8/1 for Layton William and Nikita Kuzmin.
According to the bookies, Bobby Brazier is least likely to win with odds of 16/1.
Not everyone believes that the 20-year-old will be unsuccessful this weekend but many Strictly fans have accused the judges of showing favouritism towards Bobby after he received a 38 for his Quickstep routine to Mack the Knife on Saturday.
