Strictly Come Dancing Betting Odds: Alesha Dixon

If it's Friday, it means that Strictly Come Dancing is almost here - and that means we're so excited that we literally just crapped our pants. Literally.

With so few dancers left on Strictly Come Dancing, tomorrow's show is the most important yet - to fill the yawning gap smashed into the Saturday teatime TV schedules for Strictly Come Dancing, the remaining contestants will have to perform 47 dances each, including one group dance that involves spinning around on your nose for half an hour. Are the dancers up to it? We'll have to wait and see.

But in the meantime, who'll win Strictly Come Dancing? Here are the Strictly Come Dancing betting odds for Alesha Dixon, with help from Paddy Power…

Alesha Dixon - Alesha Dixon is so obviously going to win Strictly Come Dancing that they may as well just do the decent thing and hand Alesha the trophy now, since at least that way Bruce Forsyth gets to have an extra-long hibernation this year and we won't have to look at Tess Daly so much. Because Alesha Dixon is now so far ahead of the Strictly Come Dancing pack that she'll get a billion points no matter what she does. For instance, Saturday's Tango to Jealousy was almost uncomfortably violent, like watching a sequinny remake of Nil By Mouth. It was dramatic, snarling and furiously angry, and the Strictly Come Dancing judges knew it: "I can only see headlines: The Tantalising Tango Temptress Triumphs!" said one of them, not realising that newspapers probably have better things to do than make weak alliterative puns about one woman's ability to dance for 80 seconds. SCORE - 38.

OK, maybe we were over-exaggerating just now - Alesha Dixon doesn't get a billion points for everything she does. Her Rumba to Reach Out (I'll Be There), although flawless-looking to the naked eye, narked off the Strictly Come Dancing judges beyond belief, who told her that "I only want perfection from you, and for me that wasn't - you have a lazy leg." And the judges then doled out the harshest punishment possible - they gave Alesha Dixon a score that was only marginally better than everyone else's. SCORE - 36; Current Strictly Come Dancing betting odds - 1/3
