Now in its third series, Strictly Come Dancing is starting to feel like a well-loved piece of the furniture – although, having said that, Strictly Come Dancing could be about infected testicle wounds and it’d be more entertaining than Dance X.

Saturday’s Strictly Come Dancing – and Sunday’s Strictly Come Dancing results show – were all about the male dancers. That’s why a man was the first to be voted off the show, why you could hear agonised middle-aged yelps around the country this weekend as Dads realised that they couldn’t marvel at Kate Garraway’s cleavage all night like they’d been planning and why this week’s Strictly Come Dancing betting odds are all about the men. That’ll change next week – because we know you’re desperate to find out what Sharon off EastEnders is like when she dances – but for now it’s on with the boys.

Here are the Strictly Come Dancing betting odds for Willie Thorne and Gethin Jones, with help from Paddy Power…

Willie Thorne - Every lighthearted Saturday teatime reality show needs a depressed gambling-addicted former snooker player to liven things up, and that’s why Strictly Come Dancing has Willie Thorne. Much has been made of Willie Thorne’s Strictly Come Dancing underdog status but, to be fair, he’s an underdog for a reason. He’s grossly overweight for a start and, if his Strictly Come Dancing waltz to Run To You is anything to go by, he dances like like he’s got three weeks of compacted faecal matter backed up into his bowels. But despite this, the Strictly Come Dancing judges were surprisingly easy on him, saying “big Willie, the gentle giant. You were so light on your feet” even though he lumbered around the stage like Frankenstien’s monster after a night on the cheeky vimtos. SCORE – 24; Current Strictly Come Dancing betting odds – 40/1

Gethin Jones – Earmarked as the Strictly Come Dancing boytoy  from early on, Blue Peter presenter Gethin Jones had an alarming bomb to drop on his partner early into training – although Gethin has represented his county at rugby, is impossibly good at a number of musical instruments and has flown with the Red Arrows, it turns out that he can’t stand intimacy and freaks out when people touch him. To work around this obvious disability, Gethin decided to distract everyone from his supreme discomfort by shimmering and gurning like a seven-foot transsexual at a Barry Manilow concert during his Cha Cha Cha to I Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet. But it didn’t work, with a Strictly Come Dancing judge telling him “You should be on fire out there, I’m not happy” which seems a little bit harsh. SCORE – 22; Current Strictly Come Dancing betting odds – 5/1
