Unlikely Strictly couple favourites to win after voting figures leaked

An unlikely couple on Strictly Come Dancing are now favourites to win after voting figures were allegedly leaked.

The Daily Mail says they obtained the public voting numbers following last week's show.

But the figures highlighted an unlikely favourite amongst the public.

Topping the leaked polls with 19.1 per cent was McFly star Tom Fletcher and his partner Amy Dowden.

This is despite them only scoring fifth place on the judges' leaderboard.

EastEnders star Rose Ayling-Ellis won 18.2 per cent of the public vote for her Viennese waltz.

The voting figures leak has shaken up bookies odds, with Tom Fletcher slashed to 12/1 from 20/1.

Rose has shortened to 4/11 from 2/5 and remains a rock-solid favourite.

William Hill Spokesperson, Rupert Adams, said: “There is no way we can risk having Tom Fletcher at 20/1 to win Strictly after this leak. Winning over the general public can be even more important than wowing the judges and we’ve had to cautiously cut the McFly man to 12/1.

“Rose Ayling-Ellis is undoubtedly the star of the show at the moment and keeps her place at the top of the betting, but the latest voting figures reveal there is still competition.”

Outright Winner according to William Hill.

Rose Ayling-Ellis 4/11

John Whaite 6/1

AJ Odudu 8/1

Tom Fletcher 12/1

Tilly Ramsay 40/1

Dan Walker 50/1

Rhys Stephenson 50/1

Sara Davies 66/1

Adam Peaty 80/1
