Royal Reality? Bookies Slash Odds on Andrew and Fergie to Join Traitors and I’m A Celeb

Could the royals be heading to reality TV? Bookies have revealed tongue in cheek odds on Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson making shock appearances on some of Britain’s biggest reality series and it’s certainly got people talking, Dave James writes.

According to WhatAreTheOdds.co.uk, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is priced at 80/1 to sign up for Celebrity Traitors, 66/1 for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2025, and 100/1 to enter the Big Brother house.

His ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, meanwhile, is considered the more likely of the two to make the leap into reality TV at 50/1 for Celebrity Traitors, 33/1 for I’m A Celebrity 2025, and 66/1 for Big Brother.

Dave James, spokesperson for WhatAreTheOdds.co.uk, said:

“We’ve priced these specials more for fun than form, but it’s not impossible. Sarah Ferguson has shown a real flair for connecting with the public and wouldn’t be out of place in a reality setting. As for Prince Andrew, it’s safe to say producers might think twice before sending him into the jungle.”

James added that the royals’ relationship with television has always fascinated the public and reality TV could be the next frontier.

“Fergie has appeared on talk shows and documentaries, and she’s clearly comfortable in front of the camera. With her sense of humour and down to earth personality, she’d actually fit right into something like I’m A Celebrity or even The Traitors.”

When asked about Prince Andrew’s long odds, Dave joked:

“At 100/1 for Big Brother, you’re more likely to see him in the audience than in the house. But after the last few years, who knows what surprises the world of TV has in store?”

The bookmaker says these light-hearted specials are often a reflection of public chatter rather than serious betting markets.

“Every time a new series of The Traitors or I’m A Celebrity is announced, we see a flurry of bets on surprise names,” Dave explained. “The public loves to speculate and the royals always get people talking.”

While the odds remain long, royal fans are no strangers to surprise TV cameos. With The Traitors and I’m A Celebrity both among the UK’s most-watched shows, even a whisper of Windsor involvement is enough to set social media alight.

“Reality TV thrives on unpredictability,” James added. “If Fergie ever did sign up, it would break the internet and probably smash viewing records overnight.”
