The semi-final stage of Strictly Come Dancing 2025 is already upon us, with viewers and bettors still reeling after the shocking exit of Lewis Cope in week 11. We feel like a broken record saying that Balvinder Sopal was the favourite to be eliminated the previous week and is still the favourite to go the journey. But, once again this is the case. So, should you bet on Bal to be bounced out of the ballroom or is there better value to be found? Let’s have a look.

Sopal Favourite to Exit but Amber Davies Could be the Value Bet?
Last week, we said that it would be no surprise to see Balvinder Sopal, who has exceeded all expectations, finally run out of steam. However, she performed superbly and it was Lewis Cope who ended up in the dance-off with our value bet tip Amber Davies. And in a huge shock, it was Cope who crashed out.
This week, we’re feeling a similar vibe. Given the strength of the opposition, Sopal could well go. However, the value bet is Amber Davies. It would be no surprise to see her in the dance-off again. Obviously, seeing Sopal in there wouldn’t either, however, having survived five dance-offs, the remaining contenders would not relish going up against the EastEnders actress under those circumstances.
George Clarke has once again asserted himself as the favourite to win the series. Karen Carney had emerged as favourite, but Clarke’s superb performance last week sees him back in the driving seat in the eyes of the bookies.
