EXPERTS have had their say on who will leave Strictly Come Dancing this weekend – and it’s not Chris Robshaw.
The former rugby union player, 39, who is partnered with Nadiya Bychkova, found himself in the bottom last week.

Now bookies are predicting that Lorraine showbiz reporter Ross King, 63, is in the firing line for week three’s elimination.
Ahead of Movie Week, Coral bookmakers have Ross and his partner Jowita Przystal at 10-11 to be eliminated in a dance-off.
Chris is 5-4 to leave, while Stefan Dennis is 8-1. They’ve got Balvinder Sopal on 20-1, with RuPaul’s Drag Race star on matching odds.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is 25-1 for the next Strictly elimination.
“Ross avoided the dance-off last weekend, but our odds suggest he will be in the bottom two this time around and he will lose his place on the series,” said Coral’s John Hill.
Ross escaped elimination last week despite being very low down the leaderboard – now experts predict his luck has run out.
The star-studded line-up face Movie Week this weekend, pulling together dances to famous films from all genres.
Ross and Jowita are attempting the Paso Doble to a Thunderbirds-inspired routine.
He appeared back alongside Lorraine on the ITV daytime show earlier this week ahead of his live performance on Saturday.
“Thunderbirds. I think I’m going to be a Thunderbird. I’m a puppet. He’s a puppet. I’ll be alright… my moves will be a bit stiff,” he said.
Ross got emotional as he told Lorraine the real reason he’s taking part in Strictly.
He said he wants to “encourage people of a certain age to just go there and enjoy it”.
Ross added: “If I can get out there and do it. So can you, I mean, it is lucky that I’m having one of the best dancers in the world to help me, eight hours a day.
“Thank you to Team Lorraine here, people in Scotland who voted, all the people who voted yes, every member of the public, the feedback has been, yeah.”

Last week when Ross made it through, fans thought he swore on live TV.
As he celebrated, some eagle-eyed viewers thought he said the f-word.
One viewer wrote: “ROSS SAYING WHAT THE F**K LMFAOOOO.”
A second posted: “Did Ross just swear when the results were called?”
While on Lorraine, Ross set the record straight, saying: “I didn’t swear, despite what people say. I did not swear.
“It was a genuine shock, because I was pretty sure that, you know, we’d be in the dance off.”
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Saturday, with the results show airing on Sunday.
