Strictly Come Dancing 2024 Week 2 Predictions & Betting Tips

Now dancing for viewers’ votes, the 2024 Strictly Come Dancing couples are back on the dancefloor for Week 2 as the judges decide the first couple to leave this year’s competition.

Ready for week 2, our betting experts have been looking at the latest odds and offering their predictions ahead of the weekend.

Week 2 Preview 

The new couples take to the dancefloor again this week, after we saw them for the first time in the Strictly Week 1 show last weekend. This week, we will learn who the first couple to be eliminated from this year’s competition is. 

Hoping for high scores from the judges, these will be combined with the scores from last week and at the end of the show, the public vote will be opened for the first time this series. 

The results show will open with a spectacle as the judges join the professional dancers for a showstopper routine. There will also be music from The Ezra Collective ft Yazmin Lacey.

This will then be followed by the results where the lowest-scoring couples will face the dance-off before the judges decide who will be the first to leave the ballroom.

Then, before we know it, it will be time for Strictly Come Dancing Week 3 and the start of the theme nights!
