Strictly Come Dancing Betting Odds: Mark Ramprakash To Win?

Time to shed a sad tear, as after tomorrow you're not going to get the chance to see a bunch of semi-famous nincompoops titting around in front of Bruce Forsyth in sparkly manblouses for almost a year - it's the Strictly Come Dancing final tomorrow.

Over the last three or four months we've been on a rollercoaster of a Strictly Come Dancing journey, from Jimmy Tarbuck bottling out early on to all of the black dancers being voted out outrageously early to… actually, the rest of Strictly Come Dancing was all a little bit samey, come to think of it. Anyway, shut up, it's the Strictly Come Dancing final tomorrow, where the balding rugby bloke will go up against the unfaithful cricket bloke. We looked at the Strictly Come Dancing betting odds of the balding rugby bloke yesterday, so that can only mean one thing.

Here are the Strictly Come Dancing betting odds for Mark Ramprakash…

Mark Ramprakash - At the start of this series of Strictly Come Dancing, it was widely assumed that Mark Ramprakash was just taking part because the dancing cricketer last year was popular last year and the BBC knew a good thing when it saw one. But over the weeks Mark Ramprakash has slowly climbed the Strictly Come Dancing ranks, overcoming all challengers from the confused teenager from Eastenders to the big-skulled Spice Girl to emerge as the favourite to win. But Mark Ramprakash hasn't made things easy for himself - he tends to either be brilliant or shit, which is exactly what he was on last week's Strictly Come Dancing. His first routine was a quickstep to Bye Bye Love that happily filled the 'shit' quota; after clumping around the stage for a few minutes the Strictly Come Dancing judges told him that "I didn't see any heel leads, and if you're back next week you need to lift your ribcage a little."

But then Mark returned for his second performance - an Argentine Tango to Goldeneye - that was possibly the best routine of the series. It was violent, sexy and  - unlike Emma Bunton's attempts to be violent and sexy - didn't look like an out-of-control robot chasing a pensioner down a hotel corridor. The judges loved it, naturally, calling it "Tango with a bite, worthy of the final." So Mark Ramprakash goes into tomorrow's Strictly Come Dancing final as the favourite - but will the armies of housewives that watch the show be able to forgive him for having some kind of affair that we briefly read about on the front of a paper a couple of weeks back? SCORES: 34 & 39 - Current Strictly Come Dancing betting odds - 8/15
