Shaun Wright-Phillips is expected to be eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, missing out on Halloween week, according to former professional Ola Jordan and bookmaker Coral.
This week's show has no theme, but next Saturday's episode falls on October 31, meaning all performances are expected to have a spooky feel. Last week, contestants including EastEnders star Lacey Turner and Love Island star Cach Mercer took part in Icons Week.
Ola Jordan's Prediction
Ola Jordan has shared her expectation that the former Manchester City and England footballer will not only find himself in the dance-off again but that his time on the show will finally end. Shaun is set to perform a Jive with partner Alexis Warr to "Faith" by Stevie Wonder ft. Ariana Grande.
Speaking to Mecca Bingo, Ola said: "I think Shaun will be at risk this weekend. He's dancing the Jive, and I just don't see him being saved again."
She added: "I think we'll see someone completely new in the bottom two alongside him. I just don't think Jaime will be there, and with Bethany dancing the Argentine Tango, I can't see her being in the bottom two either, in my opinion."
Bookies' Odds
The bookies agree with Ola, as Shaun Wright-Phillips is the odds-on favourite at 4-6 with Coral to be the fourth contestant eliminated this weekend. Bethany Antonia is 5-2 to lose the dance-off, while Will Best is 6-1 to depart the show.
In the outright market for the Glitterball Trophy, Lacey Turner remains the favourite at 7-4. Tabby Stoecker is second best in the betting at 3-1, while the returning Delta Goodrem is 7-2.
Coral's Comment
Coral's John Hill said: "Shaun Wright-Phillips has been the favourite ahead of each of the three eliminations on Strictly so far in the series, but he has made a mockery of our odds. Once again, the former footballer is the odds-on favourite to depart, but will it be another own goal for the bookmaker this weekend?"
Strictly Come Dancing continues tonight at 6.30pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
