Ed Balls is your favourite for Week 10 Strictly Come Dancing axe

Time could soon be up for Strictly Come Dancing cult hero Ed Balls, according to the latest odds from our trading floor. 

As the celebrities prepare to perform twice on this weekend’s show, punters think this could be a step too far for Ed’s skills.

All of which means the former Shadow Chancellor has now been backed him into favouritism for the axe on Sunday evening at 11/8.

Judge Rinder isn’t too far behind in the elimination betting at 13/8, or there’s 5/1 on offer Claudia Fragapane doesn’t find herself as lucky this time in the dance off.

Meanwhile, at the other end  of the market Danny Mac looks incredibly safe as he now moves odds-on to lift the Glitterball trophy at 10/11.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: “Unfortunately for Ed punters reckon he could struggle dancing two routines this weekend, and the money suggests he could be waltzing out of the competition shortly.”
