Caroline Flack is odds on to win Strictly Come Dancing after emerging as the dark horse

She's got that Xtra something! Caroline Flack is odds on to win Strictly Come Dancing after emerging as the dark horse

After emerging as the underdog of the competition, it's thought that Caroline Flack will take this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing glitterball trophy.
The TV presenter heads into the final as the favourite to get her hands on the queen of the dancer floor title, last year won by footballer's wife Abbey Clancy.
Former Xtra Factor star Caroline, 35, is attracting four-figure sums with bookmaker William Hill and is therefore the front-runner to second-most fancied Frankie Bridge, Simon Webbe and then Mark Wright, who is ranked the outsider.

Flack's prospects have been boosted after she impressed even the toughest judge Craig Revel Horwood during last weekend's semi-final to claim the first perfect 40 score of the series
William Hill is said to have received bets of up to £2,000 on Flack which had put her price way out in front at 8/13. Bridge is at 2/1, Webbe is 9/1 and Wright is 12/1.
The two-part finale, to be screened from 6.30pm on BBC1 on Saturday, will see each of the finalists take to the floor more than once.

Each couple will perform a dance of the judges' choosing, and then a newly choreographed 'showdance,' which can blend steps from various styles.
In the second edition on Sunday, the fourth-placed couple, after viewer votes are counted, will be eliminated and the remaining three will run through their own favourite dance. 
Caroline and her partner Pasha Kovalev are planning to showdance to Angels and their favourite dance will be Charleston to Istanbul (Not Constantinople).

Also during the final will be a performance by Take That and the eliminated celebrities from earlier in the competition will return to perform a group number to a medley of songs.
Caroline was seen arriving at BBC Studios on Wednesday carrying two pairs of inflatable legs, teasing part of her routine for the hotly anticipated show. 
Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams said: 'Caroline is attracting more bets than the rest of the contestants put together - but it looks very close and any of the four remaining contestants could win this.'

Caroline will be throwing herself into the dancing competition since splitting with boyfriend Jack Street and is hoping to win without his support.
This week, he tweeted: 'Vote for @carolineflack1 6225210. You'd be silly not too.' 
But according to heatworld, Caroline was not impressed and snapped back, '@jackb_street easing your guilt??? Fill yourself with glee jack.'
