Week three of Strictly Come Dancing 2022 saw the dancers dazzle in a movie-themed spectacle, and with plenty of market movers, the latest favourites to win the competition have been revealed - and Cumbrian Helen Skelton features in third place. 

Actor Will Mellor is the bookies' favourite to win the competition despite Tyler West and partner Dianne Buswell topping the leaderboard at the weekend after receiving 38 points for their blockbuster Charleston. 

Despite finishing bottom of the leaderboard in each week so far, Tony Adams is the 9th favourite out of the 13 remaining dancers - with odds of 40/1 to lift the Glitterball trophy.

So far, Helen and her partner Gorka Márquez have performed well and have made it through to week four without being in the dreaded dance off.

However, Helen did start the competiton as the bookies favourite meaning some backers have been less than impressed with the start of her Strictly campaign so far. 

Strictly is on BBC One at 6:30PM on Saturday, Ocotber 14.
