Expert predicts which I’m A Celebrity All Stars contestant will be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle
The lineup for I’m A Celebrity All Stars was announced yesterday our odds expert gives his insigh into the favourites to lift the crown in South Africa.
A star studded line up is heading back into the wilderness as ITV prepares to launch I’m A Celebrity All Stars series two, and the odds suggest one familiar face could be crowned the ultimate jungle legend.
Celebrity odds expert Dave James from whataretheodds.co.uk gave his take on who could be heading back into camp, and what each star might bring to the series.
“This should be another cracker of a series and I make Scarlett (40% chance) the favourite to take the crown. She was an absolute revelation during her time in the jungle back in 2016 and handled the trials brilliantly. Given how popular she was with viewers, it’s no surprise she’s the clear favourite to return, I’m sure fans would be backing her to win it.”
“Harry Redknapp (33% chance) is true I’m A Celebrity royalty and could also push Scarlett close. He really is the nation’s grandad who charmed everyone when he won back in 2018. I think he’s still hugely popular with the British public, and it’s no surprise to see him among the favourites again this year. At 78, he might not fancy every trial, but his warmth and humour make him one of the standout contenders for the All Stars crown. Him and Jimmy could be this years comedy double act. I think it’ll come down to Scarlett and Harry.”
“Other contenders in with a shout could be Gemma Collins (25% chance). Her original jungle stint was short lived, but it’s gone down in TV history. She’s a huge personality and unfinished business in the jungle makes her return a tantalising prospect. If she’s willing to go the distance this time, it would be must see TV. Jimmy Bullard (20% chance) is another I think could do well. His broadcasting career has flourished, and he’s now one of TV’s most recognisable personalities with his work with Soccer AM. This is his big chance to show the fun, likeable side that fans remember. At 46, he might find it tougher to rough it this time, but his banter’s still on point and if he strikes up a bromance with Harry Redknapp, he could become one of the stars of the series and I think has a chance to win.”
“Further down the odds table, Adam Thomas (7/1) could prove a dark horse. The actor’s infectious energy and popularity from Emmerdale and Waterloo Road make him one of the most likeable names in the line up.Sir Mo Farah (9/1) brings Olympic pedigree back to the jungle, and while he’s known for his calm focus rather than chaos, his determination could see him go deep into the competition. David Haye (10/1) is another strong personality with a point to prove. The former heavyweight world champion’s competitive streak and charisma made him a fan favourite in his original stint, and he’s tipped to approach the All Stars series with the same fighting spirit.
Craig Charles (8/1) and Sinitta (14/1), two icons of British entertainment. Charles remains one of the most beloved I’m A Celeb contestants thanks to his wit and warmth, while Sinitta’s larger than life personality promises to bring plenty of fun to the camp even if she’s a long shot for the crown. Ashley Roberts (11/1) and Seann Walsh (12/1) add even more variety to the cast. Roberts’ upbeat personality and dance background could make her a popular campmate, while Walsh known for his sharp humour will be keen to show a different side of himself to viewers.”
