- Emmerdale star Danny Miller the 7/2 favourite to win in the castle this year

Danny Miller the 7/2 favourite to win this year's I'm A Celebrity series
The start of the festive period truly kicks off when I'm A Celebrity starts on British TV and this Sunday will be no different as the 21st series of the reality show gets underway.
10 famous faces will enter the Welsh castle as another trip Down Under is cancelled due to Covid restrictions.
| I'm A Celebrity Winner | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Danny Miller | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Frankie Bridge | 4/1 | 20% |
| Simon Gregson | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| David Ginola | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Richard Madeley | 7/1 | 12.5% |
Emmerdale's Danny Miller leads the way in the betting market for this year's show, with Frankie Bridge closely behind at odds of 4/1.
Frankie Bridge's partner Wayne Bridge has previously featured on the show back in 2016 and finished 5th, with former member of The Saturday's Frankie looking to do one better.
Emmerdale star Miller will be looking to become the 4th person from a soap to win the series but the first from any other soap than Eastenders
The only previous soap winners have all come from Eastenders. Joe Swash (2008) Charlie Brooks (2012) and Jacqueline Jossa (2019) respectively.
Simon Gregson third favourite despite not being in official lineup
Coronation Street's Steve McDonald, actor Simon Gregson, is third favourite in the betting market despite not actually being in the official lineup for the show.
Both Gregson and Eastenders actor Adam Woodyatt are expected to enter the Castle later down the line in the series.
Both soap stars will be looking to follow Danny Miller's lead in hopefully becoming the first male soap star to win I'm A Celebrity.
Bookies are giving specials on I'm A Celeb too ahead of the series starting.
Arlene Phillips favourite to be first voted out this series
Arlene Phillips, former Strictly Come Dancing judge, is the favourite to be voted out first according to bookmakers.
Phillips, 78, will be the oldest celebrity EVER to enter the show.
| First Celebrity to be eliminated | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Arlene Phillips | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Matty Lee | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Naughty Boy | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Snoochie Shy | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Kadeena Cox | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Matty Lee is the second favourite to be voted out first on this year's I'm A Celebrity, with the Olympic diver not exactly a household name in the public currently.
Lee is known for winning gold at the Tokyo Olympics with teammate Tom Daley.
At odds of 5/1, bookies think he may have a good chance of being the first one voted off this year.
