Phil Taylor Exclusive: Darts legend Taylor now 10/1 to enter I'm A Celebrity next year after telling OLBG he'd be 'open' to the challenge!

Phil Taylor now 12/1 to enter I'm A Celebrity next year after telling OLBG he'd be interested

Darts legend Phil Taylor has told OLBG that he'd be willing to enter next year's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! as bookies now offer odds on potential contestants.

Phil 'The Power' Taylor retired from professional Darts after the 2018 World Championship and has been playing Seniors ever since which he will fully retire from at the end of 2024.

The Power spoke to OLBG about all things Darts and his personal life with his hat now thrown firmly into the ring to appear in the jungle next year according to the man himself.

When asked by OLBG if he could appear in the jungle, Taylor said, "Yeah, I’d be open to it. We’ve got to talk, obviously. But Bob (his manager) will sort all that out. I mean I don’t find any challenges in there for what I couldn’t do."

At odds of 10/1 to enter next year's I'm A Celeb, bookies feel there's a short chance it'll happen with just a 9% implied probability that it'll happen.

Full market available for who may appear on next year's series of I'm A Celeb

Bookies have a full market up for who will enter the famous I'm A Celeb jungle next year less than a week after Sam Thompson was crowned King of this year's series.

Former footballer-turned pundit Peter Crouch is the 4/1 favourite to go Down Under next year and enter the show with bookies giving him a 20% chance of doing so.

Other big names feature towards the top of the market including Zara McDermott, girlfriend of this year's winner Thompson which may mean she'll have a go herself.

Phil Taylor is around 8th in the betting market to go into the jungle with the market featuring well over 50 different celebrities that could enter.

Odds given for the winner of this year's PDC World Darts Championship

Luke Humphries is the favourite with tournament sponsors Paddy Power to win the PDC World Darts Championship this year.

The biggest event in Darts kicks off on Friday evening and it's the in-form Humphries who is the betting favourite to win the whole thing.

Michael van Gerwen sits just behind him in the betting market at 10/3 with the top of the market fairly close compared to previous years where we'd have a heavy favourite.
