Strictly Come Dancing Odds: Wright-Phillips odds-on for early exit

Former Manchester City star, Shaun Wright-Phillips has been cut into 10/11 with William Hill to be the first celebrity eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing.

The first elimination of this year’s series will take place on Sunday, when one couple’s journey on the dancefloor will come to an end, with Wright-Phillips odds-on to leave the competition.

Sarah Storey is next in the betting at 7/4, while Chris Appleton is 5/1 and Melanie Walters 6/1 to be the next celebrity to exit the competition.

Strictly Come Dancing 2026 – Next Elimination – Odds:

• Shaun Wright-Phillips – 10/11
• Sarah Storey – 7/4
• Chris Appleton – 5/1
• Melanie Walters – 6/1
• BAR – 14/1

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “It’s not the opening week Shaun Wright-Phillips will have been hoping for, with the former Manchester City star now odds-on to be the first celebrity to exit Strictly Come Dancing.

“With City making headlines for all the wrong reasons at the moment, Wright-Phillips becoming odds-on favourite to be the first to go is perhaps another unwanted headline for the club’s supporters.

“Sarah Storey is next in the betting at 7/4, while Chris Appleton and Melanie Walters are priced at 5/1 and 6/1 respectively.”
