The race to be crowned the first ever I'm A Celebrity Legend ends on Friday night, when two finalists will go head-to-head in a supercharged eating trial.

Myleene Klass, Fatima Whitbread, Phil Tufnell, and Jordan Banjo currently make up the last four in South Africa, but the start of the episode will see them reduced to a trio.

Their former campmates returned to the show and were tasked with voting off one of the quartet, who are currently part of a tight market on betting sites.

While the identity of the unlucky contestant wasn't shown at the end of Thursday night's episode, the stars appeared to be keen to put through Fatima and Jordan, leaving a debate between Phil and Myleene.

However, most of the talk was for Myleene to progress, with just Shaun Ryder lobbying hard to keep Phil in the competition.

Paul Burrell and Carol Vorderman narrowly missed out on the top four when they exited following the Vile Vineyard trial on Thursday night's episode.

But which of the remaining four stars have what it takes to win the inaugural series?

Myleene Could Have Klass To Win

Myleene is the 2/1 favourite on I'm A Celebrity betting sites to win the show.

She wasn't part of the initial nine celebrities who took part in the show's first episode, but has gone from strength to strength since entering the series alongside Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo and Andy Whyment.

Myleene has proved she can take on any trial without much fuss, and if she makes the final three then the next challenge might play to her strengths, too.

In Friday night's finale, the top three will face off in a tricky time trial, when they are tasked with counting to six minutes, while being covered in critters.

Performer Myleene - who was part of band Hear'Say and is a pianist - is no stranger to getting her musical timing right, so she could do well and make the final two.

Determined Fatima Might Have Enough

But Fatima will also be determined to progress. The former Olympic javelin thrower is 3/1 second favourite on specials betting sites to be the first-ever I'm A Celebrity Legend.

She has done well in physical trials and has shown an Olympic determination to succeed in the camp, as well as taken on her chores without issue.

There were a few moments in the series where it looked like her eagerness to do well in trials could see her fall out with a campmate or two, but the final appears to be more about trials than voting each other off, so it could play to Fatima's strengths.

Jordan said on Thursday night's episode that Fatima is always "one step ahead" of her campmates, after she sneakily took some grapes to eat following the Vile Vineyard trial.

While she did appear to struggle slightly in the Cyclone at one stage, Fatima certainly seems to have her eyes on the prize, as while summing up the top four she admitted it was "all to play for".

Jordan Could Face Snakes Again

Another star who would be a worthy winner is Jordan. The Diversity dancer is 4/1 third favourite on betting apps, after proving himself in trials and as a good all-rounder in camp.

He and Myleene both did well when taking on two trials as a team, back when the camp was divided into two Prides, but if he makes it to the final three then he will have to face his biggest fear in the final - snakes.

In the time trial, the campmates will have to sit in a contraption that has their feet in boxes, their hands in hell holes and their heads in helmets, which will be filled with multiple snakes of varying sizes.

Jordan has made no secret of his hatred of the serpents, but he overcame his fear to progress in the Vile Vineyard trial, when snakes were involved in one segment.

What's more, if he makes it to the last three then the timing aspect of the trio's trial might play to his strengths due to his performance background.

Phil Could Find Trials Tuff

Another star who knows all about getting a six is retired cricketer Phil, and if he makes the final three he will have to count to six minutes rather than hit six runs.

While Phil is very much a worthy final four member, he may come unstuck in the remaining trials if he is to get there.

The star made it no secret this week that he hadn't exactly been volunteering himself to take part in trials throughout the series, and joked to viewers that his nickname was "the Artful Dodger" during his cricketing heyday.

But Phil won't be able to dodge any trials in the final, which might be his undoing.

Despite this, the star is just 5/1 to win the show, and it wouldn't be a huge shock if any of the four remaining campmates won the series.
