Who’s Favourite To Win I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here?
The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! final is just hours away, and the King or Queen of the Jungle crown is up for grabs.
There are just three campmates remaining after Alan Halsall became the seventh star to be eliminated from the jungle on Friday night, and he was 6/4 joint-favourite on betting sites to depart next.
The Coronation Street star was closely followed by podcast host GK Barry, who also went home on Friday.
That meant Coleen Rooney, Danny Jones, Reverend Richard Coles and Oti Mabuse advanced to the final four and the Celebrity Cyclone.
The quartet donned superhero outfits on Saturday night's episode to take part in the traditional I'm A Celebrity challenge.
The Celebrity Cyclone sees the show's remaining campmates try to make their way up a giant slip and slide while being pelted with water, strong winds and huge yoga balls by the programme's crew.
While they completed the task, it was later revealed Oti was the next campmate to be eliminated from the show, leaving Coleen, Danny and Richard vying for the Queen or King of the Jungle crown.
Danny Odds-On
McFly star Danny is odds-on to clinch this year's title.
He has been favourite for most of the series, despite a recent blip when Coleen took over from him at the top of the market.
Ahead of the November 17 launch, before the first Bushtucker Trial had been taken on and prior to the awful weather conditions that threatened to blight the stars' time in camp, Danny was the ante-post favourite to win the series.
The guitarist, who is said to have bagged a last-minute spot in the jungle, was the 11/4 ante-post favourite to triumph and he is now best priced 8/15 with William Hill.
He's even been clipped in slightly since Friday, when the star was 4/6 to win the series.

Can Coleen Be Queen?
But if anyone is going to stop Danny being named King of the Jungle, then it will be Queen Coleen.
Following Oti's Saturday night exit, the TV personality is the only female contestant remaining in the jungle, and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if she pipped Danny to the post.
Coleen is 12/5 with Bet365, as she was on Friday, after a steady couple of episodes.
But she has come a long way odds-wise since the series started.
I'm A Celebrity 2024 Winner Odds
Celebrity | Odds | Bookmaker |
Danny Jones | 8/15 | |
Coleen Rooney | 12/5 | |
Reverend Richard Coles | 12/1 |
Before the off, Coleen was a massive 12/1 outsider to be named Queen of the Jungle and she was put up here as the early value play.
Each-way backers will now able to treat themselves to something nice before Christmas after she booked a spot in the final three on Saturday night.
And if Coleen goes one better and triumphs in Sunday's finale then it could be a very merry Christmas indeed.
Richard Revs Up For Finale
While Danny and Coleen look the most likely winners, we shouldn't completely rule out Richard.
The reverend has made many fans during his time in the jungle.
He was a late entrant in camp, alongside Maura Higgins, and his price was as high as 40/1 on betting apps to win the series at one stage.
While he may just miss out on victory, anyone who backed him each-way at such a big price will be laughing.
He has had his fellow campmates in stitches at times with his comical celebrity stories and he developed a close bond with GK Barry throughout the series.
Richard was as big as 33/1 to win the series on Friday night, but after advancing to the final three his price has crashed to 12/1 with SpreadEx.
While it looks unlikely that he will overcome Coleen or Danny in the final, either of the three would be a worthy winner of what has been an entertaining and heart-warming series.
