Kelvin Fletcher Tightens Grip On Strictly Favouritism

It’s the quarter-finals stage of Strictly Come Dancing with Kelvin Fletcher the clear favourite at 1/3 from 4/9 with BoyleSports following his Street dance routine on Saturday that earned him 38 points.

The ex-Emmerdale actor will be dancing the American Smooth in the next round to Gaston from Beauty and the Beast with his odds set to be cut even further if his moves are as smooth as previous weeks.

It was the first time in a dance off for Karim Zeroual and his professional partner Amy Dowden at the weekend after the pair found themselves in the bottom two. They were saved, with Saffron Barker the latest celebrity to leave the show but Karim has drifted out to 11/2 from 3/1 to lift the Glitterball.

Emma Barton only managed to secure 29 points for her Quickstep, but the EastEnders star is gathering momentum in the market with her odds trimmed into 8/1 from 12/1 to dance her way to success.

Kelvin Fletcher has been the favourite for most of the competition, but he is now the shortest he has ever been after the latest performances.
