Fleur East Closes In On Harry Redknapp for Jungle Favouritism
Rita Simmons Tipped To Be Fourth Eliminated
Fleur East is attempting to dethrone Harry Redknapp as the I’m A Celeb favourite as her odds continue to drastically shorten for the jungle crown. The X Factor runner up has made a complete U-turn in the betting having been a firm 33/1 outsider to win on Friday and now taking over as BoyleSports 11/4 second favourite. After impressing in Bushtucker Trial’s and Dingo Dollar Challenges Fleur’s popularity with punters began to grow seeing her odds cut to 7/1 and 4/1 before she took over as the soul second favourite to win having previously shared the spot with Emily Atack, who has drifted out to 8/1.
Harry Redknapp has been the long running favourite delighting viewers with his humour, pranks, stories and now his grumpiness. The former football manager is clearly feeling the strain of jungle life, but his comical gripes about the food have seen punters back him into 4/6 from 8/11. Rita Simons is the 11/8 favourite to be the fourth campmate booted, or rescued, from the jungle with Anne Hegerty following closely behind as the 2/1 second favourite.
Aoife Heffron, Spokesperson for BoyleSports commented: “Fleur has been dominating the airtime over the past four days and it is reflecting in her odds to win as punters just cannot get enough of her, backing her from 33/1 to 7/1 over the weekend and now from 7/1 to her current 11/4. If it continues, we could see a late power shift in the market.”

Stacey’s Strictly tear-jerker
Stacey now odds-on in Strictly
Meanwhile Stacey Dooley is now an odds favourite to take home Strictly Come Dancing’s Glitterball Trophy which has reached its semi-final stages. The BBC journalist was even-money before her quarter-final performance which saw her take on a Foxtrot American Smooth to ‘I Dreamed A Dream’. Subsequently the bets quickly began to roll in for Stacey and her odds crashed after she left the judges and audience in tears.
