Strictly fans predict new winner as Ranvir Singh overtakes original favourites

Strictly Come Dancing viewers have made a dramatic turn on who they think they will win the series, after Saturday's surprising episode.

Maisie Smith and HRVY have been tipped to battle it out for the Glitterball Trophy since before the BBC show began in October.

But now a "dark horse" could be about to change all that, with fans tipping big things for one contestant.

Good Morning Britain star Ranvir Singh is hotly tipped to go straight for the final, if not the trophy, after her latest incredible performance.

Improving week on week, she left the judges speechless and got the highest score of the series so far this weekend.

She and professional dance partner Giovanni Pernice performed a Foxtrot to Dreamgirls classic Love You I Do.

Ranvir could barely talk as the judges gave their feedback, before dropping some incredible scores.

As host Claudia Winkleman told the pair they had topped the series, they were both in disbelief.

Now, fans are seeing Ranvir's full potential, and they think she could win the whole show.

Taking to Twitter after Saturday night, many guessed predictions of Maisie and HRVY, or anyone else, winning could be wrong - and that Ranvir might be about to steal the show.

One viewer said: "Ranvir and Giovanni are my favourite dancers and I hope Ranvir wins cos she seems like such a lovely person too."

Another agreed: "Ranvir is a dark horse. Hope she wins."

A third tweeted: "I would actually be so here for a Ranvir win this series? She’s so consistent and she has proven she can really deliver a character role. She was amazing!"

Meanwhile, a fourth added: "Thank you Ranvir! Ranvir to win."

This was echoed by another viewer who tweeted: "Ranvir and Giovanni are who I want to win."

Backing this, another fan said: "Ranvir's in it to win it isn't she?"

Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday November 14 at 7.10pm with the results show on Sunday 15 November at 7.25pm on BBC One.
