Strictly Come Dancing Betting Odds: Dawson, Lytton & Ramprakash

There are precious few episodes of Strictly Come Dancing left before the eventual winner is found, so make the most of all the weekly gifts Strictly Come Dancing gives you while you can.

Oh, you know what we're talking about - Bruce Forsyth squinting and moving his head from side to side as he tries to make sense of the autocue, Tess Daly looking as if she's being forced to lick poo out of a tramp's beard every time she attempts to dance with Bruce, the female Strictly Come Dancing judge who gets more and more predatory as each week passes, the Italian Strictly Come Dancing judge who looks like he'd do a happy little jig even if you told him his house had burnt down… you'll miss all these when they're gone. And some people are trying to tell us that there's some kind of dancing competition in Strictly Come Dancing too. Well we'll be blown.

Who the bum is going to win Strictly Come Dancing, that's what we want to know. Here are the Strictly Come Dancing betting odds for Matt Dawson, Louisa Lytton and Mark Ramprakash…

Matt Dawson - A couple of weeks ago Matt Dawson danced in exactly the same way that most men would dance if they knew that everyone they'd ever met was watching on TV; shame-faced and self-conscious. However, the hiring of a drama coach has helped Matt Dawson immensely - now Matt has unleashed his inner Travolta without fear of all the piss-taking he's still going to get for dressing up in a sparkly blouse and twatting around for 90 second periods anyway. And thanks to this, Matt Dawson is now in the top three Strictly Come Dancing contestants, with his routine to What A Wonderful World finally pushing Matt Dawson in the direction of his 394th consecutive reality TV victory. And the Strictly Come Dancing judges loved him: "If you continue like this, you deserve a place in the final," they said. SCORE: 37 - Strictly Come Dancing betting odds - 4/1

Louisa Lytton - Louisa Lytton, knowing that her Eastenders days are numbered and that she's missed this year's panto season, is going all out to win this year's Strictly Come Dancing. Her effort from a couple of weeks ago - trying to stuff so many complicated dance-steps into her routine that she seemed to be dancing entirely in fast-forward - backfired, and so on Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing Louisa tried something even more audacious; doing a tango to a song by The Eurythmics, the brave girl. And this tactic has made sure that Louisa Lytton is even more likely to end up second in Strictly Come Dancing than ever before. The Strictly Come Dancing judges responded to her routine like this: "Sweet dreams are made of this - that was fabulous." SCORE: 36 - Current Come Dancing betting odds - 7/2

Mark Ramprakash - This week Mark Ramprakash - the firm favourite to win Strictly Come Dancing - had to dance a Rumba to I'll Be There Waiting. However, since the Rumba is the sexiest of all dances - and Mark Ramprakash is fond of bringing his daughter to the set to see how Daddy gets down - on Saturday he was struck by the kind of crippling shyness that only comes when you know the youngest members of your family will be watching you grind your hips against someone that isn't their mother, and he lost his mojo as a result, prompting comments like "Passionless, blocking disappointing… occasional hip action. I didn't like it." SCORE: 27 - Current Strictly Come Dancing betting odds - 10/11
