Kelly Brook and partner Jeremy Parisi move into betting favourites to win Race Across The World
Betting odds have now changed massively for the winner of the latest series of Celebrity Race Across The World after the opening episode of the latest season aired on BBC One on Wednesday night.
Kelly Brook and her husband Jeremy Parisi were the first couple to reach the checkpoint in episode one with the married couple having an early lead of 1 hour and five minutes and are now favourites with betting sites.
Scott Mills and his husband Sam Vaughan are in second place and therefore stay second in the betting market to win the show with odds of 5/2 given.
Kola Bokinni and cousin Mary Ellen were last shown still 380km away from the checkpoint after struggling in the opening episode and this has seen their odds drift right out to 10/1 to win the show.

What the expert says...
Former favourites Jeff Brazier and son Freddie drift out after first episode
Jeff Brazier and son Freddie kicked off the show as the betting favourites to win Race Across The World but have since drifted after a tough first leg of the race.
Scenes on the opening episode of the show saw them arrive to the first checkpoint in third place behind Kelly Brook and Scott Mills' pairs.
Now the Brazier duo have a 20% chance of winning, with their odds sitting at 4/1 from the 6/4 that they were at before the opening episode aired.
4 celebrity pairs race from Brazil to Chile to battle for prize
Celebrity Race Across The World started on Wednesday with the four celebrities racing from Brazil to Chile in their duos.
The pairs will start from Belem in northern Brazil and finish in Frutillar, Chile with the race spanning 5 countries and 12,500 kilometres (7,800 mi).
Each team is given a budget of ÂŁ1100 per person, which is the equivalent amount of a plane ticket from Brazil to Chile, with that budget used to get them from checkpoint-to-checkpoint.
