One Strictly Come Dancing star faces the axe this weekend as they’re handed a crushing blow.
Another celebrity will get the boot from the competition this weekend, and the outlook appears bleak for one particular couple.
While Balvinder Sopal tops the bookmakers’ list as favourite to exit the show this weekend, the prospects look equally dire for Alex Kingston and Amber Davies, who could also wave goodbye to their Glitterball Trophy dreams.
Exclusive odds from Betway reveal Balvinder faces 250/1 odds of departing this weekend, whilst Alex Kingston sits at 33/1, and Amber has 20/1 odds of making her exit before the semi-final in a fortnight’s time.
However, the trio tipped to make it through to the final are George Clarke, Karen Carney and Lewis Cope, according to Wales Online.

Last weekend, hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly revealed that there would be no elimination following La Voix’s forced withdrawal from the competition.
The remaining celebrities were left stunned by the unexpected development, though it meant they were all safe from the chop for another week.
La Voix appeared alongside dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec on Saturday’s programme to explain their departure decision.
The performer became emotional as she revealed, “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.
