BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Sarah Hadland told she'll be forced to miss final

Sarah Hadland has been dealt a brutal blow as it emerged she may MISS the BBC Strictly Come Dancing final. BBC Miranda star Sarah was handed a brutal blow just hours before the BBC Strictly quarter-final as worrying data emerges.

The actress has continued to stun the judges and viewers at home with her performances and remains among the favourites to win the series. But Hadland and pro partner Vito Coppola are at risk of being knocked out this week, data shows.

Lee Astley, spokesperson for Lucky Block, said: “This year’s Strictly winner appeared to be a foregone conclusion with Chris McCausland miles ahead in the betting, but Tasha Ghouri’s stunning perfect 40 in Saturday’s show has made her a serious contender late on in the series.

“Tasha is 9/2 from 10/1 and now occupies second place in the betting, with McCausland’s price easing from 1/5 to 2/7. At the other end of the scale, Pete Wicks once again survived by the skin of his teeth but seems highly likely to depart the show this weekend, trading at 4/7 to be the next contestant eliminated.”

Research from SlotsCalendar has now revealed which dances are the safest - and not so - to perform during this stage of the competition. The data reveals that the Waltz has been responsible for just one of the last 71 eliminations, dating back to 2018, making it statistically one of the safety routines to perform in the show.

Of the dances set to be performed in Musicals Week this weekend, Sarah's Charleston has been responsible for 12.68% of eliminations (9) in the same period, making it the second riskiest dance behind the Samba. Viorel Stan, said: “Despite being touted as a firm favourite to be eliminated in this weekend’s quarter-final, our research has seemingly given Pete Wicks yet another lifeline in this year’s edition of Strictly. Data collected since 2018 has found the Waltz – Pete’s chosen routine this weekend – is one of the safest dances in the programme, contributing to just a single elimination in the last seven series.

"Instead, it’s Sarah Hadland who has thrown caution to the wind by performing the Charleston, which has led to a whopping nine eliminations in the same timeframe. Montell Douglas also takes a risk with the Rumba, responsible for five eliminations, while JB Gill’s Viennese Waltz has brought about just two exits."
