Bookmakers have swiftly adjusted the odds in favour of former boxer Tony Bellew, making him the frontrunner to win the “I’m A Celebrity” competition with odds slashed from 14/1 to an impressive 1/1 since last Friday.
Leon Blackman from Oddschecker:
“A dramatic shift in odds over the weekend has seen Tony Bellew become the new favourite with bookmakers to win I’m A Celeb. Since Friday, Bellew has dominated the betting on Oddschecker, securing 25% of all bets across our site. Sam Thompson and Josie Gibson, previous favourites, have now dropped to second and third place, respectively.”
“After being the favourite last Monday, Gibson is now considered an outsider at 7/1, with the bookies expecting one of Bellew or Thompson to win.”
Highlighting one of the most significant changes in odds, Blackman noted, “One of the biggest changes in odds is for Fred Sirieix. The First Dates host had been valued as a 7/1 fourth-favourite last Monday; however, now he has been given a minimal chance to win at huge odds of 100/1.”
Following an outstanding performance in Saturday’s Eaten Alive Bushtucker Trial, Bellew clinched an impressive nine stars, sparking a significant drop in his odds from 5/1 to 2/1. This shift in betting odds now positions the Liverpudlian as the leading contender to be crowned the King of the Jungle.
Sam Thompson, who held the title of oddsmakers’ favourite for the past week, has now been relegated to second place in the betting with odds of 6/4.
