Strictly's James Bye is bookies' favourite to be booted off BBC show this weekend

Strictly Come Dancing's James Bye is the favourite to be booted off the show this weekend.

The EastEnders actor's odds of staying on the BBC show have gone to 15-9 which makes him most at risk in week five, according to bookmakers William Hill.

James and his pro-partner Amy Dowden 26 out of 40 from the judges on Saturday, after an underwhelming attempt at the Foxtrot.

Comedian and actress Ellie Taylor is the second favourite to make an exit.

Surprisingly, Arsenal legend Tony Adams is only the fourth favourite to be voted off in week five, despite recording a poor score of just 19 for his Cha Cha attempt.

Speaking on the shift in odds Lee Phelps, William Hill spokesperson, said; “James Bye's odds to be eliminated have gradually got shorter as the weeks have gone on and it would be a surprise if he managed to last more than a couple of weeks.

“However, we thought the same of Tony Adams when the competition began and he has improved dramatically so who’s to say Bye can’t follow suit in the coming weeks?

“It will be very interesting to see what happens as we enter the crunch stage of the reality series.”
