Strictly Come Dancing stars Nadiya Bychkova and Tom Dean were the first couple to be eliminated from the competition , leaving many viewers who accused the show of being fixed. As a result, Toyah Willcox and Neil Jones will continue to dance for another week. This upcoming weekend, the celebrities will participate in Movie Week and have another opportunity to impress the judges.
However, TV doctor Dr Punam Krishan might be in danger of being eliminated. In the previous episode, Krishan and Gorka Marquez performed the Foxtrot to "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" by Shania Twain and received a total score of 18 from the judges. Although the couple made it through, bookmakers Betfred have given Krishan odds of 2/1 of being eliminated from the competition.
Krishan shares the same odds as Willcox, who was in the dance-off this weekend. Betfred’s Kayley Cornelius revealed: "After narrowly escaping the dance-off, Toyah Willcox is once again betting market favourite to be next eliminated, priced at 1/2. "While her timing saved her and means she’s allowed to dance another week, she still sits in a worrying place as she's situated at the bottom of the leaderboard and has a long way to go.
"It's clear she’s far behind her peers in terms of skill, so she’ll need to make a major turnaround by next Sunday if she wants to stay competitive." Speaking on Krishan's hopes, she added: "Dr. Punam Krishan shows great potential, but she’s likely to end up in the dance-off next week, placing her.
