Debbie McGee shocked those tuning into the BBC series as she transformed into Geri Horner for her Spice Girls themed Samba routine.
Sporting a Union Jack frock and a red wig, she channelled her inner Ginger Spice as she took to the dancefloor with professional partner Giovanni Pernice.
The judges heaped praise on the star, with Bruno Tonioli thanking her for bringing “girl power to the tower” and said her Samba rolls were “sizzling”.
However, it seems as though many at home were not as impressed with Debbie’s routine with bookmakers revealing she is no longer favourite to lift the coveted Glitterball trophy.
Coral have revealed that Alexandra Burke is once more tipped to be this year’s champion with her odds at 2/1 following her Quickstep.
John Hill told Express.co.uk: “Alexandra lit up the Blackpool Tower with her performance on the famous ballroom and one the back of that dance, she is favourite once again to win the show this year.”
Meanwhile Debbie has found herself now second-favourite with her odds at lifting the trophy at 9/4.
But, while she is no longer the front-runner, the 59-year-old shouldn’t be too worried about her chances in the competition as her odds at being eliminated tonight at 40/1.
