Lewis Cope Faces Devastating Setback Hours Before BBC Strictly Halloween Routine Amid Alarming Data Reveal
Lewis Cope, a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, faces a significant setback just hours before his Halloween routine. Alongside professional partner Katya Jones, Cope is set to perform a Couple’s Choice dance to Radiohead’s “Creep” on Saturday night. Notably, this performance follows a series of successful weeks, where they previously achieved a top score of 34 in Week Five and finished in first place during Week Three.
Shifting Dynamics in Strictly Come Dancing
Emerging as a frontrunner to win the Glitterball Trophy, Cope’s popularity is waning, with some bookmakers removing him from the top position. Originally regarded as a favorite since stepping in for Kristian Nairn, Cope is now facing intense competition. Grosvenor Sport, a major bookmaker, has shifted the odds significantly.
New Frontrunner and Odds Update
- George Clarke has moved to 10/11 odds, previously 5/1, highlighting his impressive performances.
- Lewis Cope’s odds have dropped from 9/4 to 4/1, indicating a growing challenge to reclaim his frontrunner spot.
- Alex Kingston is now 5/1, rising from 14/1 after a string of strong performances.
- Amber Davies has seen her odds slip to 33/1, previously as low as 13/2.
- Ellie Goldstein is now at 16/1, down from 6/1, and Karen Carney sits at 25/1 from an earlier 10/1.
Despite the odds shifting against him, Cope and Jones are expected to make it safely through Halloween Week. Their main competition for elimination includes Balvinder Sopal, who is currently facing challenging odds, and drag artist La Voix, who has struggled to stand out this series.
Conclusion
As the Halloween themed performance night approaches, all eyes will be on Lewis Cope and Katya Jones. Fans and analysts are eager to see if they can bounce back from the adverse betting sentiments and reclaim their status as strong contenders in this exciting competition.
