Difficult rumba challenge could see Ruth heading home

Week three
BBC1, 6.35pm Saturday

It's not just how you dance, it's what you dance that can matter most in Strictly Come Dancing.

ITV presenter Ruth Langsford and comic Susan Calman got the ideal soft draw last week, dancing the Charleston, which audiences always love however badly it is performed.

Both struggled, each getting a three from the judges in totals of 22 (Susan) and 20 (Ruth).

They are at the opposite end of the difficulty scale this week with Ruth tackling the notorious rumba and Susan on dodgy ground with the samba.

Ruth may be the one to concentrate on at a decent price.

Her elimination odds have contracted from 18-1 to as short as 11-1 in places (best at 14-1) and reports that she broke down in tears during training hardly suggest she has taken to it like a duck to water.

Pro partner Anton Du Beke is popular but she could be in trouble.

Recommendation
Ruth & Anton to be eliminated
1pt 14-1 bet365
