Outsiders Michelle and Alex Backed For Strictly Comeback

The chances of two dark horses are being gambled in the Strictly Come Dancing betting after the judges overlooked the favourites when handing out the highest scores of the week after the Halloween-themed dances.

American TV star Michelle Visage has gained a new army of supporters after a strong week in which her foxtrot to The Addams Family theme threatened to put the frighteners on the frontrunners.

Michelle was handed the highest score of the week with three of the four judges awarding her a 10 and she has seen her odds of winning close into 16/1 from 20/1.

Former Arsenal defender turned TV pundit Alex Scott is also back in favour with Strictly punters as she teamed up with substitute-pro Kevin Clifton and danced her way to her highest score of the series so far for her performance to ‘Ghostbusters.’

Her stronger showings over the past fortnight have seen her odds clipped into 18/1 from 28/1.

Kelvin Fletcher tangoed his way to another high score as he danced to the Billie Eilish hit ‘Bad Guy,’ and he remains a good guy in the eye of punters whose consistent support makes him the 4/5 odds-on favourite to skip off with the Glitterball trophy come the end of the series.
