Favourite drifts to 4 after news leaks of early-hours arrest in Liverpool

Shock news of Ricky Whittle's arrest sent the Strictly Come Dancing 7 into a tailspin this morning.

From a low of [1.6] Whittle touched [4.0] as Betfair customers considered the implications of his night-time arrest following a collision with a press photographer.

Ali Bastian briefly became favourite this morning but currently stands just behind her former Hollyoaks co-star at [2.6]. Whittle can be backed at [2.4]

Betfair spokesman Ari Last said: "As per usual, our punters have been sharp to react and Ricky's path to ballroom glory, which was looking pretty clear, now appears to be in some jeopardy."
