Strictly Come Dancing Betting Odds: Gethin Jones To Win?

Strictly Come Dancing is now a three-horse race, with just Matt Di Angelo, Gethin Jones and Alesha Dixon left to hoof it out for that ugly shiny ball-trophy thing.

And the pressure couldn’t be greater on the three of them to win Strictly Come Dancing, where they’ll join the esteemed ranks of Natasha Kaplinsky, Jill Halfpenny, Phil Tufnell, Joe Pasquale, Baby Spice and Leona Lewis as a Strictly Come Dancing champion. No, wait, did Baby Spice win Strictly Come Dancing? Or was it that four-year-old from EastEnders? Oh, we get so confused sometimes.

Anyway, who’ll win Strictly Come Dancing? Here are the Strictly Come Dancing betting odds for Gethin Jones, with help from Paddy Power…

Gethin Jones - So Gethin has finally got over his chronic Strictly Come Dancing fear of expressing emotion, but why? Could it be because he’s reportedly got together with Katherine Jenkins? Hardly - she’s got all the capacity for emotion as a moderately pretty shoebox. But, whatever the reason, it’s working for Gethin. Even though the only emotion he displayed throughout his first Strictly Come Dancing performance - an American Smooth to The Green Green Grass Of Home - was a slightly inept-looking grin. But after it was over, the Strictly Come Dancing judges lavished praise on the routine, saying that “On that performance, you’re in next week’s semi-final.” How did Gethin respond to this? By sweating like a bloody tourist, that’s how. SCORE - 38

And if anyone still needed convincing of Gethin’s new-found confidence, it was right there for everyone to see during his second Strictly Come Dancing performance of the night - a Jive to Knock On Wood. Jittery, energetic, containing more enthusiastic high-fives than a 1980s recruitment consultant team-building meeting hosted by Tom Cruise, the rouine was so hyperactive that Gethin even ended up melting his own trousers. If that’s a sign of his growing cockiness, then there’s every chance that Gethin Jones will somehow manage to melt his own knickers off next week. Anyway, the Strictly Come Dancing judges predictably loved it, saying that “I’m very excited. I absolutely loved that routine. Brilliant.” SCORE - 37; Current Scrictly Come Dancing betting odds - 11/10
