Strictly Come Dancing 2025 winner odds: George Clarke in pole position

• George Clarke is the favourite to win Strictly Come Dancing 2025.

• Vicky Pattison and Lewis Cope are also in the running, while Karen Carney rounds out what is considered a four-horse race.

• Ross King is viewed the most likely to be the second person eliminated from Strictly 2025 following Thomas Skinner's departure last week.

Following the first elimination of the series, the Strictly Come Dancing 2025 winner odds suggest this year's show is going to be a four-horse race at best.

After Thomas Skinner became the first contestant to be eliminated on October 5, the betting market shifted to leave four clear favourites. George Clarke is the frontrunner, shortening to just 6/4 from 9/4. Vicky Pattison’s odds were slashed to 3/1 from 5/1, Lewis Cope went out to 5/1 from 7/2 and Karen Carney remains 6/1.

No other contestant is priced shorter than 12/1. Despite averaging the most points over the first two weeks, those are Amber Davies’ odds after she drifted massively from 7/1. Ross King continues to prop up the betting and is now a whopping 200/1 to win.

Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: While George Clarke is threatening to run away with the Glitterball Trophy, he’s at the head of a four-strong pack that have pulled well clear of their rivals just two dances into this year’s series. Is it already too late for a contender to emerge from the also-rans?

Ross King is 200/1 to win Strictly this year, according to the latest odds, so it's not all that surprising to see him priced as the favourite to get elimination from the show next.

Also in the running is Chris Robshaw, while Stefan Dennis is the only other name with odds shorter than 12/1 to be the second person elimination from the 2025 show.
