After topping the leaderboard on Sunday\u2019s Dancing with the Stars, Eric Roberts has propelled himself to the top of the betting for this year\u2019s Glitterball Trophy!<\/p>\n
The TikTok sensation and Ireland AM presenter scored a season-high 39 points alongside professional partner Arianna Favaro and is now a clear 6\/5 favourite with the oddsmakers at BOYLE Sports.<\/p>\n
Eric\u2019s closest rival remains reigning Rose of Tralee Katelyn Cummins (5\/4) who \u2018absolutely smashed it\u2019 with a score of 34, while Jordan Dargan has drifted to 5\/1 having been handed a 28 by the judges.<\/p>\n
Punters have also deserted rower Philip Doyle (16\/1) who survived a dance-off against Anne Cassin on Saturday night, but it\u2019s Fair City\u2019s Stephanie Kelly that is now rated the likeliest star to be packing their bags this week.<\/p>\n
Brian O\u2019Keeffe, spokesperson for BOYLE Sports, said: \u201cEric Roberts was earmarked as the frontrunner before this year\u2019s stars stepped onto the dancefloor and he\u2019s proving punters right. He\u2019s finally wrestled his position at the top of the betting back off Katelyn Cummins, but it looks set to go right down to the wire.\u201d<\/p>\n
