Sarah Hadland is tipped to be the 'dark horse' on this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing, with bookies anticipating that she will even make it all the way to the Grand Final.
As we enter week four of the BBC dance competition, Sarah has received a major boost in the outright market after a streak of impressive performances with her partner, Vito Coppola.
Analysing the latest odds, Betfred’s Kayley Cornelius said: “Sarah Hadland is looking to be the dark horse of this year’s competition.
"When betting markets originally opened, Sarah was priced at 20/1 to win, however, in recent weeks we have seen an influx of bets placed backing Sarah to win resulting in her odds being boosted to a more competitive 12/1, and we only expect these odds to shorten in Sarah’s favour as she continues to grow and wow the fans at home every week.
"While it’s still early days in the competition, Betfred are tipping Sarah at 4/5 to be a finalist in this year's series!"

Meanwhile, fans of Strictly are convinced that Nick Knowles has pulled out of the competition after spotting a huge clue.
The DIY SOS presenter was forced to skip the most recent live show of the BBC programme after injuring his knee during rehearsals.
However, despite being given a free pass to continue onto the following week without dancing, viewers of the show have been left baffled after Nick was not been included in the list of this week's songs and dances.
Strictly Come Dancing usually announces on a Wednesday the song choice for each couple and their type of dance routine. Yet, there is no sign of Nick Knowles being mentioned.
Many fans flooded the comments section as they spotted the clue. One person typed: "Does that mean Nick isn't dancing again? Oh nooo."
A second person also commented: "Really hope @nickknowles can come back but a knee injury is tricky. He was someone I was really looking forward to seeing so it’s a shame he’s been beset by injuries!"
A third also chimed in: "Can we assume Nick isn’t dancing again then? Is he off now :(".
Strictly Come Dancing resumes on Saturday on BBC One at 6:15pm.
