Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins Odds: Benn Favourite After Knockout Performance
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is no walk in the park for celebrities - even those who have been in the Army.
The Traitors winner Harry Clark - who served in the military for six years - was one of the early favourites on betting sites to pass the SAS selection course, but he was cruelly eliminated in the latest episode.
On Monday night, Harry was hauled in by Chief Instructor Billy Billingham and his team of Directing Staff (DS) - Foxy (Jason Fox), Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver - after he was cutting corners by doing fewer burpees than required during a beasting.
When questioned about it, Clark lied, and the DS responded by gathering the other recruits in front of him and removing him from the course.
The Channel 4 series, which is known for being one of the most testing on TV, began with 14 celebrities taking part in a Special Forces selection process, but there are now just eight remaining.
The recruits have passed the halfway point of the energy-sapping course, but who has what it takes to go the distance?
Benn Won't Be Knocked Out
Only two of 15 recruits passed last year's course, and there doesn't look like being more than a few - at most - this time around.
Boxer Conor Benn is the new 10/11 favourite on betting apps to make it until the end, after impressing so far.
Benn hates losing, and he appears determined to pass this test, too.
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins - Who Will Pass The Course Odds:
Celebrity | Odds | Probability |
Conor Benn | 10/11 | 52.4% |
Troy Deeney | Evens | 50% |
Lucy Spraggan | 11/10 | 47.6% |
Adam Collard | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Bimini | 3/1 | 25% |
Michaella McCollum | 4/1 | 20% |
Lady Leshurr | 5/1 | 16.7% |
Rebecca Loos | 7/1 | 12.5% |
On Monday night, Clark was supposed to lead one team in an exercise, but the DS remarked that Benn was acting as the real leader of his side while The Traitors star struggled.
Benn has overtaken former frontrunner Troy Deeney to be favourite, but the ex-Watford striker's price has also been cut to pass the course after impressing the DS.
He is into Evens, from 6/4, to go all the way.
Spraggan's SAS X Factor?
Lucy Spraggan was one of just four recruits who passed the sinking-boat dunk challenge in episode three.
This saw the celebrities having to retrieve a package from under the water while in a sinking vessel.
In the latest episode, the DS admitted the former X Factor star had been solid throughout the process.
The singer looks a strong contender to pass the course, and she is 11/10 to make it to the end.
Elsewhere, former Love Island star Adam Collard is just 2/1.
Like Lucy, he's had a strong start to life in Wales - the home of the first phase of SAS Selection - where the DS are attempting to teach the celebrities key survival skills.
Onto A Loos-er?
There was a tense moment when each celebrity had to choose the person they trusted least. Yoga teacher Rebecca Loos and Harry received the most face-to-face votes.
While it did not appear to dent Loos’ confidence, it is unlikely to be pleasant to hear – especially with her now the 6/4 favourite to leave the course next.
She is also at the bottom of the market to pass the course at 7/1, just below Lady Leshurr at 5/1.
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins - Who Will Leave Next Odds:
Celebrity | Odds | Probability |
Rebecca Loos | 6/4 | 40% |
Lady Leshurr | 13/8 | 38.1% |
Michaella McCollum | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Bimini | 5/2 | 28.6% |
Adam Collard | 3/1 | 25% |
Lucy Spraggan | 4/1 | 20% |
Troy Deeney | 6/1 | 14.3% |
Conor Benn | 8/1 | 11.1% |
The rapper and singer has worked hard throughout the process, but she achieved her first pass in Sunday night’s third episode when she defeated Michaella McCollum in a one-on-one contest.
Leshurr is 13/8 to leave the course next, slightly ahead of McCollum at 2/1.
Bimini is another recruit who has impressed with effort throughout the series. The drag artist is 3/1 to pass the course but is priced at 5/2 to be the next to leave.
