Strictly Come Dancing has seen Dr Ranj, 39, and his professional dance partner Janette Manrara remain one of the most popular couples in this year’s competition on BBC One, despite repeated

criticism over his technique and dancing skills. Ranj and Janette went above and beyond in last week’s spookily-themed instalment for Halloween, as the Doctor was dressed up as loveable blue

monster Sully from Monsters Inc. But despite the pair’s incredible efforts, the judging panel - which consists of Shirley Ballas, Bruno Tonioli, Dame Darcey Bussell and Craig Revel Horwood

- unanimously slated the routine. The judges were apologetic as they told the contestant even his fluffy booties couldn’t hide the myriad of mistakes, and now the bookmakers have revealed

his latest odds of surviving the competition are incredibly dire. Following tonight’s undoubtedly explosive instalment, Dr Ranj is firmly placed as being in the bottom two in the

elimination, and the likelihood is he won’t be saved. According to bookmaker Betway, the hopeful’s odds of leaving have now been slashed to 6/5. Last week saw the TV star’s chances firmly at

7/4, so the cut is painful if Dr Ranj aims to stay in the competition. As of today, the most popular bet on the website is Dr Ranj being eliminated from the BBC series this weekend. Also in

danger, is cricketer Graeme Swann and his partner Oti Mabuse, but the pair’s odds aren’t anywhere near as worrying. Punters have placed the contestant, who danced to a rendition of Michael

Jackson hit Thriller last week, at odds of 7/2. This could mean the wisecracking father-of-three is saved by the public vote yet again this week. Newscaster and journalist Kate Silverton may

be more at risk however, as her odds remain at 4/1 according to Betway. It could be the end of the line for her and Aljaž Škorjanec if she doesn’t pull a sensational number out of the bag

in tonight’s show. Betway spokesperson Alan Alger was convinced it’s Dr Ranj’s turn to leave the competition this weekend. “At odds of 6/5, and with his nearest rival at 7/2, the writing

looks to be on the wall for Dr Ranj Singh this week,” he said. “Last week’s jive was a bit of a disaster,” Alan continued. “And it’s going to take a much-improved Samba to convince the

judges that he deserves his place in the final nine.” Meanwhile, Australian dancer Dianne Buswell left her partner Joe Sugg incredibly red-faced during last night’s instalment of It Takes

Two after she told him to “take his clothes off”. Agreeing with the BBC’s guest presenter after he commented on Joe’s penchant for suits now, she said: “Turning into Anton, yes. Joseph du

Beke we call him now.” “Yeah but he got it wrong this week,” Dianne explained. “Because you know, when you do the ballroom, you can wear the suit. But paso… Paso Joe…” Seemingly trying to

make a joke about Joe’s Strictly attire, Dianne suddenly ordered him to take off his clothes, before declaring: “I shouldn’t have said that!” _STRICTLY COME DANCING CONTINUES TONIGHT AT
