Strictly Come Dancing fans are convinced that they have figured out who will win after noticing one key point among the finalists. Former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola, Bad Education actor Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin and EastEnders Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell are all competing for that coveted Glitterball Trophy.
However, of the three couples only one, Ellie and Vito, have never been in the dreaded dance-off. Meanwhile, Bobby has been in two dance-offs while Layton has been in one.
Fans of the show believe that this will be the key to her success in the final this coming Saturday night. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, @nocontextSCD_ posted four photos of previous champions who had never been in the dance-off and wrote: “Ellie & Vito are the only couple this year to avoid the dance-off…. this is a running trend, just saying…. #strictly.”
@hollycarruthers also noticed their lack of dance-offs commenting: “#strictlyspoiler #strictly The only finalist to never have been in the bottom two is Ellie&Vito so hopefully they win.”
It appears that the bookies also agree with the fan theory as Ellie and Vito are also currently favourites to waltz to victory with odds of just 1/10 from Ladbrokes. Despite being the bookies’ favourite for most of the competition, Bobby has now found himself with the highest odds of the three finalists at 16/1.

Meanwhile, the third finalist Layton sits in the middle of the betting with odds of 8/1 despite picking up two perfect scores of 40 during the competition.
“Ellie continues to pull away from the chasing during the pack in the race for this year’s Glitterball trophy… We’d be amazed if her name wasn’t on it by close of play this weekend,” Alex Apati told Express.co.uk.
For the final all three couples will perform three dances, one chosen by the judges, one chosen by them, and their show dance.
Bobby and Dianne have chosen their Couple’s Choice to This Woman’s Work by Maxwell as their favourite of the series. Their show dance will be to a La La Land Medley and the judges have chosen the Samba to Young Hearts Run Free by Candi Staton.
