James Bye is gearing up for a 'battle' to stay on Strictly Come Dancing, according to bookmakers, with odds suggesting the EastEnders actor's days on the BBC show could be numbered this weekend.
EastEnders stars have a habit of doing rather well on Strictly, with Rose Ayling-Ellis winning alongside Giovanni Pernice last year and Maisie Smith making the final with Helen Skelton' s partner Gorka Marquez a year earlier. Going further back, Jill Halfpenny won series two back in 2004, while Kara Tointon has also lifted the Glitterball trophy.
However, experts aren't convinced James, known to millions of soap fans as Martin Fowler, is going to follow in their triumphant footsteps. While he is yet to land in the dreaded dance-off, his scores haven't exactly set the leaderboard alight, although they did improve last week.
