Davood Ghadami is punter’s pick for Strictly exit

Davood Ghadami is the most popular pick with Ladbrokes customers to leave Strictly Come Dancing this week.

Our traders have the Eastenders star at 8/1, making him the third-most likely contestant to be eliminated. It’d be a shock to see Davood go at this stage, but that hasn’t stopped the punters from lumping on.

Simon Rimmer is the second-most popular selection. The TV presenter is the clear favourite to be chopped at 8/13, with Ruth Langsford second-favourite at 100/30.

Alexandra Burke is still leading the way to the Glitter Ball trophy. She’s the 9/4 favourite to win Strictly this year, just ahead of Aston Merrygold at 11/4.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Simon is hanging on to his place in the competition by a thread but punters are expecting him to keep hold of his spot for yet another week, with Davood set to become the fifth star to leave the competition.”
