Strictly’s Emma Barton tipped to ’cause upset’ with show win in voting twist

Strictly Come Dancing fans are on the edge of their seats for tonight's big final of the BBC show.

Battling it out for the Glitterball trophy this year is former Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher, CBBC star Karim Zeroual and EastEnders beauty Emma Barton.

Kelvin, who is teamed up with professional dancer Oti Mabuse, is currently tipped to win the show.

However, it's though actress Emma could cause a 'huge upset' by winning with Strictly partner Anton du Beke.

Betting firm Ladbrokes have said that Kelvin is favourite with odds of 2/5.

But Emma is not far behind, with odds of 5/2.

And many think she could definitely sneak in and take the crown.

A Ladbrokes spokesperson said: "Attracting a whopping 88% of all wagers and impressing the judges week after week, it’s perhaps not too surprising that Kelvin finds himself as the overwhelming favourite for glory on Saturday evening with odds of 2/5.

"At 5/2 Emma is the the most likely finalist to cause an upset, or there’s a 12/1 chance outsider Karim emerges victorious.

"It will be the biggest upset since David and Goliath if Kelvin doesn't win Strictly Come Dancing this year."

Many also think Emma could win as this is the first time that Strictly pro Anton has ever been in the final.

This is despite the fact that Anton, 53, has been on the show since it began in 2004.

A spokesperson for bookies William Hill added: "If you factor in the Anton factor, you have to think that Emma is a real contender to win Strictly 2019."

Tonight's final will see Emma and Anton dance the Charleston and the Viennese Waltz.

The couples will also perform a showdance for viewers.
