Karen Carney, previously tipped as the favourite to claim the Strictly Come Dancing crown, has been overtaken in the betting by one of her fellow competitors.

The former footballer and her professional partner Carlos Gu may now face an uphill battle to secure the Glitterball Trophy, according to exclusive odds from Betway.

YouTuber George Clarke has emerged as the new frontrunner with odds of 5/6, pushing Karen into second place at 11/10.

Meanwhile, Balvinder Sopal, who had long been considered the most likely to depart, could potentially finish third with odds of 20/1.
