Strictly Come Dancing fans are certain Bobby Brazier won’t be crowned champ – despite him being a favourite with the bookies.
The EastEnders star, 20, made his live dancing debut on Saturday night (September 23) with pro partner Dianne Buswell. The pair finished the night fourth on the leaderboard after they received 29 points for their Foxtrot.
But it seems that once every celeb got up and performed, viewers have changed their tune on who they think will win. And of course, take home the iconic Glitterball trophy.
