Strictly Come Dancings Bobby Brazier dealt blow just days before final

EastEnders star Bobby Brazier has been dealt a Strictly Come Dancing blow just days before the final. The actor and his pro partner Dianne Buswell will take to the floor on Saturday night in the hopes of lifting the Glitterball trophy.

However, despite being the bookies’ favourite for most of the competition, Bobby has now found himself with the highest odds of the three finalists at 16/1. Former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach, who played Faye Windass in the show, now looks almost certain to waltz to victory with odds of just 1/10 from Ladbrokes.

Meanwhile, the third finalist Layton Williams sits in the middle of the betting with odds of 8/1 despite picking up two perfect during the competition.

“Ellie continues to pull away from the chasing during the pack in the race for this year’s Glitterball trophy… we’d be amazed if her name wasn’t on it by close of play this weekend,” Alex Apati told Express.co.uk.

Also working to Ellie’s advantage is the fact that she is the only one of the three finalists who hasn’t been in a dance-off this series. Layton has found himself in the dreaded bottom two once while Bobby has been forced to dance for his place in the competition twice.

Most recently he faced Annabel Croft in last weekend’s dance-off and divided the judges as Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Annabel.

To Bobby and Dianne’s relief though the other three judges opted to keep them in.

For the final all three couples will perform three dances, one chosen by the judges, one chosen by them, and their showdance.

Bobby and Dianne have chosen their Couple’s Choice to This Woman’s Work by Maxwell as their favourite of the series. Their show dance will be to a La La Land Medley and the judges have chosen the Samba to Young Hearts Run Free by Candi Staton.
