Strictly Come Dancing fans are fearing for one star’s future on the show following a setback.

One star Amber Davies could be the next celebrity to waltz off the dancefloor this weekend if the bookmakers odds are anything to go by. Each week, bookmakers forecast who the next person will be to leave the BBC dance show.

But it’s not just Amber, as EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal has also found herself in a tight spot. EastEnders star Balvinder has been the bookies favourite to leave the show for a number of weeks, however she still manages to impress the judges in the dance off.

According to bookmakers Betway, Balvinder faces odds of 250/1 to leave the show while Amber is not far behind with odds of 33/1. This means the one of the Strictly hopefuls, who have done their best week on week to work their way up the leaderboard, will not make it to the final.

However, a strong contender for the iconic Strictly final is none other than Karen Carney, followed by George Clarke and Lewis Cope. Last weekend, ER star Alex Kingston and her professional dance partner Johannes Redebe said an emotional farewell after being eliminated from the competition.

This came after the judges voted for Balvinder to stay following the dreaded dance off. With her arms wrapped around Johannes’ waist, Alex appeared disappointed to be going home, but remained proud of her achievements.

Both stars resumed their favourite dance with Alex returning to her Cha Cha routine and Balvinder reprising their jive, which earned them high marks in previous weeks.

On finding out that she was to be eliminated from the BBC show, host Tess Daly asked Alex about her time on Strictly. And in response, Alex said: “I had never in my wildest dreams imagined that I would last this long. It’s been just the most incredible journey for me.”

She added: “I feel quite proud of myself because I’ve loved the process, I mean 100%, you can tell by my smile. Everyone always says that their dance partner is a friend for life, but JoJo really will be.”

Alex and Johannes had formed a strong bond during their time on the show together. Speaking about their friendship, the professional dancer said: “I’ve never grinned as much as I have in the last few weeks. Thank you, Alex, for being a trooper. “

She added: “I will hold on to the memories. As far as the dancing goes, I think we’ve achieved what we wanted to achieve. These memories are just the beginning for us; we can say that we are very much a Strictly family.”

This weekend the stars will be performing for Musicals week, with each person hoping they have done enough in training to secure a place in the semi-finals.
