I'm A Celebrity odds have Frankie Bridge as big tip to win before line-up has been confirmed by ITV

This year's line-up has still to be officially confirmed by ITV, but that hasn't stopped bookies from putting their necks on the line and naming their favourite to win I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here already.

It's hard to believe that almost a year has now passed since Giovanna Fletcher became the show's first ever Queen of the Castle, after I'm A Celebrity made the switch from Australia to Wales.

Other stars who took part last year including Jordan North, Beverley Callard and Vernon Kay and on Friday night, a reported line-up for this year, was published online.

Famous faces rumoured to be heading to Gwrych Castle in Abergele this year include former Strictly judge Arlene Phillips, Olympic diving hero Matty Lee, ex BBC Breakfast host Louise Minchin and Newcastle United legend David Ginola.

But the early front-runner in the eyes of bookies William Hill is Frankie Bridge.

The Saturdays singer turned Strictly finalist and Loose Women panellist is set to follow in the footsteps of footballer Wayne by doing the show and William Hill think she'll be a big hit with viewers.

Louise Minchin is currently 5-1 joint second favourite after leaving BBC Breakfast’s famous red sofa after more than 20 years on the flagship daytime news programme.

William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said: “This year’s line-up is excellent, and we’ve gone with Frankie Bridge as the early frontrunner.

"But with so many big names involved and plenty of intriguing back stories, it really is one of the toughest to call in years. We are particularly looking forward to seeing how long-serving soap duo Adam Gregson and Simon Gregson get on, but with plenty of sporting interest too, and the likes of Louise Minchin, Richard Madeley and Arlene Phillips sat round the campfire, it should be perfect autumn viewing.”

The new series of I'm A Celebrity will get going at 9pm on Sunday, November 21, right after Adele's One Night Only special.
