I’m A Celebrity star GK Barry is up against the ropes as bookies cast doubt over her staying power on the show. Betfred’s experts reckon the Loose Women panelist might not make it to the final, with predictions of a possible exit come Sunday night, despite her fanbase.
She’s pegged at 25/1 to win, sharing those odds with Alan Halsall, while Danny Jones, Coleen Rooney, Richard Coles, and Maura Higgins are tipped as frontrunners for the ITV final based on their current winning odds.
Betfred spokesperson Kayley Cornelius remarked: “With the I’m a Celeb final fast approaching, the latest odds give us a strong hint about who might make it to this year’s final. Fan favourite Danny Jones is leading the charge, priced at 11/8 to win. He’s been the bookies’ top pick since the markets opened, and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change.”
She added: “Joining the McFly star in the final could be Coleen Rooney, currently at 7/4. Her down-to-earth approach has won her plenty of respect and backing from both viewers and punters. Also in the running are latecomers Richard Coles at 3/1 and Maura Higgins at 16/1, both of whom have been a hit since arriving on our screens.”
Cornelius continued: “On the other hand, the latest odds aren’t looking great for other fan favourite GK Barry. Currently priced at 25/1 to win, it looks like she might just miss out on a spot in the final.
“With this year’s series delivering the tightest I’m a Celeb betting market in over a decade, and the cast being hailed as one of the best ever, it’s shaping up to be a nail-biter to see who will be crowned the new jungle champion- every vote will truly matter!”
In last night’s episode (December 2), Tulisa Contostavlos sadly became the third campmate to be sent packing after ending up in the bottom two with Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse.
Upon her exit, she confided in Ant and Dec that it was “hard in there”, commenting on the challenges of jungle life, reports the Express.
Tulisa described her experience as a “whirlwind” and expressed amazement at her own achievements. The N-Dubz star leaves following the departures of radio DJ Dean McCullough, who was the second celebrity voted off, and Loose Women panelist Jane Moore, the first to say goodbye to the camp on Friday night.
