Jaime Winstone and her dance partner Carlos Gu could be eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing this weekend after injury forced them to miss a live show, meaning they would lose the chance to dance at Blackpool Tower.
Heading into week eight of the series, the pair were absent from last weekend's show due to injury and were given a bye to this week's episode. Their position follows an appearance in the triple dance-off during Halloween week, which saw Jaime take to the floor alongside actor Lawrence Robb and actress Bethany Antonia.
Odds Favour Elimination
Jaime and Carlos have been given odds of 10/11 to be eliminated this weekend, while at the opposite end of the market, actress Lacey Turner remains the firm favourite and is odds-on at 5/6 to claim this year's Glitterball Trophy.
Speaking on the latest markets, Betway's Lewis Knowles said: "It's great to have Jaime back performing after missing last week's show through injury, but the market is suggesting it could be a brief comeback as she's odds-on at 10/11 to be voted off the show this weekend. Graeme Hall is another who, according to the market, could be set for an anxious weekend, but the odds are suggesting he might just survive one more week, reports the Daily Star."
"At the other end of the market, Lacey and Tabby are once again locked in a fierce battle in the outright betting, but the EastEnders actress has shortened up once again this week, and she's now 5/6 to lift this year's Glitterball Trophy."
Injury Statement
Graeme Hall and Will Best face odds of 11/4 and 7/1 respectively of being eliminated this weekend. Jaime was advised to sit out last weekend's live show owing to an injury, with the programme's executives confirming she had been instructed by medical professionals to rest.
Jaime released her own statement at the time, revealing: "I am absolutely devastated not to be dancing this weekend due to a torn abdominal muscle. I am in considerable pain, and my doctors have advised complete rest to give my body the best possible chance to heal."
"As frustrating as it is, I have to put my health first and follow their advice to step away from dancing this week. I love every moment of dancing and performing with Carlos, and I am praying for a speedy recovery so that I can continue this magical journey."
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturday at 6.25pm on BBC One.
