Strictly Come Dancing's Angela Rippon might be saying her goodbyes to the dance floor sooner than she'd like. <\/p>\n

The 79-year-old presenter, who's been lighting up the stage with her partner Kai Widdrington, is currently the bookies' favourite to be the next celeb to leave the show.<\/p>\n

Angela and Kai have found themselves in the dreaded dance-off for the past two weeks, and it seems they might be facing a hat-trick if they don't secure enough public votes. <\/p>\n

According to BetVictor, Angela is 1\/2 likely to be sent packing from the hit dance show, followed by ex-tennis player Annabel Croft and her dance partner Johannes Radebe at 9\/4.<\/p>\n

Sam Boswell, spokesperson of BetVictor, shared his thoughts on the Strictly markets, saying: "In the elimination market, Angela Rippon is the favourite to be the next celebrity eliminated at 1\/2. <\/p>\n

"Angela and her dance partner Kai are dancing American Smooth to Tea for Two by Ella Fitzgerald. She has survived both dance-offs, firstly against Adam Thomas and last weekend against Krishnan Guru-Murthy. I think she's at risk this weekend."<\/p>\n

"Annabel is close behind; she's priced at 9\/4. She was the second favourite to be eliminated last weekend at 7\/4, so it's not looking good! Annabel and Johannes are dancing the American Smooth to Unchained Melody by Benedetta Caretta. They must give everything it takes to avoid the bottom two."<\/p>\n

The Strictly stars are all preparing for Blackpool and were pictured smiling as they arrived at the iconic ballroom ahead of the show. The Blackpool trip may serve as a trip down memory lane for Angela Rippon, who presented the dance show, and inspiration for Strictly, Come Dancing between 1988 and 1991.<\/p>\n

Bobby Brazier and his dance partner Dianne Buswell will dance their first Jive to Wham's Wake Me Up.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ellie Leach and partner Vito Coppola are doing a Charleston to Love Machine by Girls Aloud and Angela Scanlon is doing an Argentine Tango to Back To Black by Amy Winehouse.<\/p>\n

Also joining them on the dancefloor are Layton Williams and partner Nikita Kuzmin doing a Couple's Choice to Ain't No Other Man by Christina Aguilera and Nigel Harman doing a Quickstep to It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) by Duke Ellington with partner Katya Jones.<\/p>\n
