Ashley Roberts and Faye, 43, are both on 10/1, with Lauren Steadman and Charles Venn languishing at the back with 16/1 and 20/1 respectively.
“It’s hard to avoid the fact that Lauren is the lowest scorer left in the competition and she’ll need her strong public support to come out in force if she’s to survive this week.
“She’s our favourite to be the one to go this weekend and we think her time on the dancefloor is coming to an end,” a spokesperson told Express.co.uk.
It comes after Stacey revealed some shock Kevin criticism, saying: “He’s given me a complex.”
