This year's Strictly Come Dancing has been without a doubt one of the most closely-ran series to have ever hit the BBC. With favourites to take home the Glitterball changing on a week-to-week basis, it's interesting to look at exactly who looks most likely to be crowned champion this weekend just 48 hours before the big event gets underway.

Right now, investigative journalist Stacey Dooley is favourite to win outright, with odds of 1/2 on Bet365. YouTuber Joe Sugg is right behind her however, with odds of 2/1.

Though she was a firm favourite right at the start of the series, being in the bottom two for the past three weeks has seen former Pussycat Dolls member Ashley Roberts drift in the odds, and she now looks to have no chance, sitting at 33/1.

Steps member Faye Tozer sits in the middle of the pack at 11/1, and could be a real dark horse. Her fanbase is momentous; you only have to check out social media to discover the love being sent her way.

Strictly Come Dancing 2018 concludes this weekend on BBC One.
