Strictly Come Dancing’s Amber Davies could face a devastating exit before the BBC show’s final.
Each week, bookmakers have been forecasting which celebrity will be the next to leave the dance floor, and it appears both Amber and Balvinder Sopal are in the danger zone.
Despite being the bookies’ favourite to exit for several weeks, Balvinder has so far managed to avoid elimination. However, this weekend could see her luck run out.
According to exclusive odds from Betway, Balvinder is once again the most likely to depart this weekend, with odds standing at 250/1.
Love Island’s Amber is not far behind, with odds of 33/1, suggesting that both stars may not make it to the final of the popular BBC series, reports the Mirror.

Karen Carney is currently leading the pack as the favourite to win, closely followed by George Clarke in second place.
Lewis Cope is also vying for a spot in the final, hoping to clinch the coveted Glitterball Trophy.
Last weekend saw Alex Kingston and Johannes Radebe bow out of the competition after a dance-off against Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon.
Both pairs reprised their routines; Alex and Johannes danced their Cha Cha to Anita Ward’s ‘Ring My Bell’, while Balvinder and Julian performed their Jive to Maxine Nightingale’s ‘Right Back Where We Started From’.

The judges were split on who to send home, but ultimately, it was announced that Alex’s Strictly journey had come to an end.
When Tess inquired about her experience on the show, Alex responded, “I had never in my wildest dreams imagined that I would last this long. It’s been just the most incredible journey for me.
“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.”

In response to Tess’s question about their fantastic partnership, Johannes added, “I’ve never grinned as much as I have in the last few weeks. Thank you, Alex, for being a trooper. 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 remaining celebrities will participate in Musicals Week, each vying for a spot in the semi-final.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturday at 6.30pm on BBC One.
