The 11 stars have been revealed for this year’s I’m A Celebrity and bookmakers are at odds as far as Only Way Is Essex love rate Mark Wright is concerned.
William Hill and Ladbrokes have him as their favourite at 7/2 and 3/1 respectively, but Paddy Power will give you 11/2.
Coronation Street actor Anthony Cotton better known as Underworld machinist Shaun Tully – is a general 4/1 chance while McFly drummer Dougie Poynter is 9/2 with Boylesports and William Hill.
“This year’s batch of intrepid jungle residents are generally a lot older than previous year’s contestants although, the top of the betting is dominated by the younger contestants,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
“Let’s not forget that Tony Blackburn, Carol Thatcher and Christopher Biggins have all been winners in the past.”
Paddy Power believe Freddie Star could be the one to watch at 9/1, and he certainly won’t have any problems as far as bushtucker trials are concerned having allegedly ate a hamster in the 1980s!
Their spokesperson Sharon McHugh: “Dougie will be a big hit with the ladies and Anthony will be the housewives favourite but watch out for Freddie. He could be the real Starr of the show!”
Other interesting contenders are TV presenter and dancer Jessica Jane Clement, 26, who is most famous for going undercover as a scam artist in BBC3’s The Real Hustle who is a top priced 8/1 shot with Hills and ex-champion flat jockey Willie Carson, 68, who is a rank outsider on 20/1.
