Wynne Evans halves in price for Strictly exit following Katya Jones controversy

Wynne Evans has seen his price to be the next contestant eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing slashed following last weekend’s show, according to betideas.com.

The Opera Singer scored a strong 34 points in Saturday’s performance but has been backed to depart the programme this weekend after his ‘hand incident’ with dance partner Katya Jones went viral.

Ex-footballer Paul Merson is the EVS favourite to exit the competition this week, with TV personality Dr Punam Krishan a 9/4 chance.

Lee Astley, spokesperson for betideas.com, said: “Wynne Evans is half the price he was last week to be the next Strictly contestant eliminated following a viral clip between him and dance partner Katya Jones, now trading at 7/1 to be the fourth casualty of the series from 14/1.

“Paul Merson is an EVS favourite to depart the show next, with Punam Krishan closely following in the market at 9/4.”
