Strictly's Dan Walker tipped to leave next despite never being in bottom two

Strictly Come Dancing 's Dan Walker could be waving goodbye to the hit dance show as another celeb gets eliminated this weekend.

However, the news presenter hasn't yet been in the bottom two.

According to Betfair, Dan has odds of 50/1 of winning the show, which means he is least likely and could be in danger this weekend.

Last week saw the iconic Halloween Week where contestants got dressed up for their performances.

Most were looking scarier than usual but Dan and his partner Nadiya Bychkova opted to got for a less scary option and dress up as lobsters instead.

The pair danced a Jive to Rock Lobster by The B52s and scored 5, 8, 7, 7, leaving them with a total of 27.

This was the first time that the couple had scored more than a 7 and despite Craig Revel Horwood saying the dance was "a little like watching a horror film" he also said Dan was "very very entertaining".

Motsi Mabuse added that it was their best Latin dance since the start of the competition.

This week Dan and Nadiya will be dancing Couple's Choice to MKTO's Classic.

Rose Ayling-Ellis is tipped to win the whole competition especially after her stunning performance last week where she scored the earliest 40 in Strictly history.

Rose and her partner Giovanni Pernice performed a Tango to Ed Sheeran's Shivers where Rose transformed into an ice queen.

The pair got nothing but compliments from the judges as Anton Du Beke said: "I’ve written a few things down there and they basically all say perfect."

Motsi went on to say that the dance was "out of this world" before scoring the partners a perfect 10.

Rose has odds of 2/5 to win the entire competition, being awarded impressive scores from week one.

Rose, who is an actress on EastEnders is also the first ever deaf contestant.

The star has shared that she can feel the music through the vibrations and uses counts to help her dance to the beat.

When speaking to the judges following her performances, Rose has a BSL interpreter with her and her partner Giovanni has also began learning BSL.

During their week five they danced a Viennese Waltz to Alicia Keys' Fallin' where at the beginning they acted out a scene and both of them used BSL.

Since this performance it was reported that sign-ups for BSL courses went up by 2,844%.
