One Strictly Come Dancing star could end up missing out on the semi-final as they’re dealt a heartbreaking blow.
This weekend, another celebrity will be eliminated from the competition, and it’s not looking good for one celebrity couple.
While Balvinder Sopal is the bookies’ favourite to leave the competition this weekend, it looks like it is also bad news for Alex Kingston and Amber Davies, as they could also miss out on winning the Glitterball Trophy.
According to exclusive odds provided by Betway, Balvinder has odds of 250/1 of leaving this weekend, while Alex Kingston has 33/1, and Amber has odds of 20/1 of leaving before the semi-final, which takes place in two weeks’ time.
However, the top three frontrunners predicted to make the final are George Clarke, Karen Carney and Lewis Cope.
Last weekend, hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly announced that no elimination would take place after La Voix was forced to withdraw from the competition.

It was a surprising moment for the rest of the celebrities, but it meant none of them were at risk of being eliminated from the show.
La Voix and her dance partner, Aljaz Skorjanec, appeared on Saturday’s show to speak about their decision to withdraw.
La Voix broke down as she said, “I came into the show as a minority, as a redhead and you’ve all embraced me wonderfully.
“I cannot thank you enough… this is not how I wanted my journey to end,’ before joking: ‘At least it gives someone else in this competition a chance to win.”

Aljaz added,: “I’ve been lucky this year. I’ve made two friends for life. On Saturdays/ Sundays, we all laugh with La Voix, and from Monday to Friday, I had the best time with Chris.
“I haven’t done a single crunch in the past six months, but I’ve got my six pack back, it’s amazing.
“Like Motsi said, “We all need it”. The world needs more of you. Strictly needed it, you made my life a joy.. You are so beautiful in what you do.”
Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday on BBC One.
