Strictly stars Nick Knowles and Toyah Willcox could be at risk of leaving first as some new data has emerged.
According to new research, Jamie Borthwick could end up taking home the Glitterball trophy.
However, poor Nick and Toyah might not get a chance…

FruitySlots.com has revealed new research used a supercomputer to predict the results.
It analysed characteristics of past winners, such as their career, gender, star sign, the nationality of their professional dance partner and age – with the latter of these being the most important factor that influences their final score.
The supercomputer looks at the average age of past winners, which is 31.7 years old. It also generates a “strength” score for each contestant.
It’s then converted into a percentage which represents their predicted chance of winning Strictly.
Jamie ended up with the highest percentage at 15.8%. Meanwhile, Pete Wicks is closely behind at 11.4%.
However, poor Toyah has a percentage of 1.5%. Nick Knowles and Wynne Evans are also not predicted to go very far, with 3.1% and 4.4%, respectively.
A spokesperson for FruitySlots.com said: “Strictly Come Dancing has returned to screens again with another cohort of stars selected from the worlds music, television and sport – but just one of them will be lifting the Glitterball trophy in the final.

“Based on the results of the Strictly supercomputer, it appears EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick has the strongest chance of triumphing over his competitors, followed by TOWIE’s Pete Wicks.
“Not everyone can be a winner – or even get close to it – and the data shows it could be early exits for Toyah Willcox, Nick Knowles and Wynne Evans, but only time will tell.”
Meanwhile, this week, Nick has given fans a glimpse into his rehearsals for Strictly Come Dancing ahead of his first live performance, and showcased his whopping weight loss.
This Saturday (September 21) will see DIY SOS star Nick take to the dance floor live alongside pro partner Luba Mushtuk.
This week, Nick, 61, shared a couple of videos to his Instagram of his and Luba’s training sessions.

In the first clip, Nick said he had a “busy day” after going to meet a family for his BBC show DIY SOS. After that, he rehearsed with Luba.
He said: “It’s all going really, really well. But you’ve got to do a day’s work, and then a day’s work. I’m enjoying it a lot.”
Luba said: “Good. It’s going to be fine.”
In another clip, Luba and Nick showed off some dance moves.
Nick said: “When I was 25 years old, I went to Australia to play rugby. I was there for two years and me and my friends invented a dance called the elbow dance.”
As music played, Nick and Luba did the ‘elbow dance’. Nick wrote alongside the clip: “For one hour only – we’ve swapped roles!!
“Who thinks @lubamushtuk nailed my signature elbow dance?
“@craigrevel, @shirleyballas, @mrantondubeke, @motsimabuse – scores out of 10 for Luba? Only 4 more days to go until the show @bbcstrictly – so I best keep dancing.”

Nick on his two-stone weight loss
The DIY SOS star confirmed on Lorraine on September 19 that he’s lost a huge amount of weight so far.
Speaking to the chat show host, he said: “Luba is a wonderful combo of brilliant and patient. It was tough to start with as I have never done this before and I’m not built for it but I am getting there now.
“I have lost 13 kilos so far! I am also still working on DIY SOS too so it’s busy and we have a build next month.”
Nick’s 13kg weight loss converts to 28lb, or a huge two stone!
Luba added of his impressive progress: “He is doing so great he is a good student, he gives himself notes.”
