Wynne Evans bookies price tumbles for Strictly elimination

Opera singer 9/2 from 20/1 to exit on Sunday night…

The price on Wynne Evans exiting Strictly Come Dancing this weekend has plummeted with BetMGM. The opera singer was a 20/1 chance when betting opened, but the leading bookmaker have had to cut his price all the way down to 9/2 and he is now the third favourite to dance for the last time on Sunday evening.

Paul Merson is again the favourite at 10/11 with Punam Krishan, who was bottom of last week’s leaderboard, a 13/4 shot. Wynne Evans has been the subject of social media trending “grope compare” in reference to an apparent ‘joke’ within the live programme on Saturday night which saw his pro-dance partner Katya Jones push his hand off her body. If it was a joke, it was poorly timed following all the controversies surrounding the previous series viewers have expressed. The Welsh singer is best known for the annoying Go Compare telly ads.

UK Director at BetMGM, Sam Behar:

“Paul Merson might be the favourite to leave Strictly this weekend but Wynne Evans certainly isn’t without a chance of leaving. He looked a lively outsider a couple of weeks ago in the outright betting but the news this week certainly hasn’t helped his chances and he’s been very well-backed to exit on Sunday night.

“He opened up at 20/1 but is now just 9/2, with only Paul Merson (10/11) and Punam Krishan (13/4) shorter in the next elimination betting.”
