BBC Strictly Come Dancing star Shayne Ward suffers huge blow ahead of live show as pro says 'tricky'

Strictly Come Dancing's Shayne Ward is facing a tough time ahead of the latest live show as he's been tipped as the likely next celeb to leave the dance floor. Former Strictly champ Ola Jordan has weighed in, suggesting that Shayne might be making his final bow this weekend.

In collaboration with Mecca Bingo, Ola shared her insights: "This weekend, I think Shayne and Nancy are at risk with their Rumba the Rumba is a tricky dance for the celebrity partners so I would definitely say they're at risk. JB and Lauren could be at risk with their Samba, too.

"I also think it's possibly time for Wynne to be in the bottom two. I don't think it's Pete and Jowita's time yet, their Couple's Choice might be quite good! " She continued: "I think Shayne is at risk this weekend, then it's between JB and Wynne."

Grosvenor Sport, an online betting site, has released the odds for this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing elimination, placing Shayne as the 10/11 front-runner to be voted off. The current odds stand at: Shayne Ward 10/11, Wynne Evans 7/4, JB Gill 4/1, Pete Wicks 8/1, Jamie Borthwick 10/1, Montell Douglas 10/1, Tasha Ghouri 80/1, Chris McCausland 100/1, Sarah Hadland 100/1.

Simon Kew, Grosvenor Sport spokesperson, shared insights on the upcoming dance floor challenge: "The competition heats up a notch this weekend as the remaining nine Strictly couples will battle it out on the dance floor once again. They'll be hoping to make it through to the half-way point of the series, which sees the celebrities perform in the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom.£

He added: "Shayne Ward remains our favourite to leave this weekend. He was 6/4 to be eliminated last weekend but defied the odds but now he's been priced at 10/11. They've got the Rumba this weekend which is a hard dance Shayne has really got to give a stellar performance to stay.

"Shayne sits 5th in the leaderboard, whilst others in the competition find themselves in the danger zone too with Wynne, JB and Pete hot on his dancing heels in the elimination betting. The second favourite to be eliminated is Wynne Evans. He was 7/2 to leave the competition last weekend, but now he's priced up at 7/4, so he could be at risk. Wynne and his dance partner Katya Jones are dancing the American Smooth to Grace Kelly by MIKA. Will we be seeing him in Blackpool?

"Pete Wicks is priced up at 8/1, although it appears evident that he has a big following so he could easily be safe this weekend. He's dancing to Couple's Choice, which fans have argued it's a free pass through to Blackpool. Elsewhere in the elimination market, Jamie and Montell are both priced at 10/1, Tasha 80/1, Chris and Sarah both 100/1."
