At this point in the competition, Sara is the least likely favourite to win the Strictly Glitterball trophy.

Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “She may have won the last two series of Strictly, but Oti Mabuse has her work cut out with dance partner Ugo Monye…

“…with the rugby star the favourite in the betting at 9/4 to be the first celebrity to be voted off this series.

“The odds suggest Monye’s main rival for the dance-off is Dragon’s Den investor Sara Davies who is 11/4…
