The glitterball trophy feels a little further away for one EastEnders star this weekend, as the pressure mounts on the Strictly Come Dancing dance floor. Balvinder Sopal, who plays Suki Panesar in the BBC soap, finds herself in a familiar and precarious position, leading the betting as the most likely contestant to be eliminated.
Underdogs Defying the Odds
According to the latest odds from bookmakers, Sopal is the clear frontrunner for an exit this Sunday. This is not the first time she has held this unwanted title; she has been the odds-on tip for elimination for approximately a month. Hot on her heels in the predictions is her fellow dance-off survivor, the fabulous drag queen La Voix. Together, this resilient duo has repeatedly managed to sway the judges and the public vote, escaping elimination against the odds. The question on everyone's lips is whether their luck can hold for another week.
The Final Countdown
With the live show imminent, fans are on tenterhooks. The first choreographic clues, revealed just half an hour before the broadcast begins, will be scrutinised for any hint of a misstep or a show-stopping routine. The tension is palpable as the competition enters its later stages, and every point from the judges becomes critical. For Sopal and La Voix, the mission is clear: deliver a performance compelling enough to keep them out of the dreaded dance-off and prove the bookmakers wrong once again.
