Longford straight-shooter Maura Higgins is in with a strong chance of walking away with the €55,000 Love Island jackpot.
According to bookies, the odds on the Ballymahon model, 28, and her Dancing With The Stars Ireland partner, Curtis Pritchard, 23, have drifted from 12/1 to 11/2.
Tommy Fury, 20, and Molly-Mae Hague, 19, are currently the favourites to win the show at 4/11, eased from 1/9.
If things don’t work out between Maura and Curtis, and she turns her sights to the only other Irish contestant currently in the Spanish villa, Limerick rugby player Greg O’Shea, 24, they stand at 33/1 to win the show.
For now though, Greg is coupled up with Amber Gill, 21, after she chose the Irish hunk over her old flame Michael Griffiths, 27, and they stand at 50/1.
Sarah Kinsella, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “Curtis and Maura were a huge 66/1 at the beginning but over the last few days, their price shortened into 12/1 initially but they are now just 11/2 making them the second favourites for the first time behind Tommy and Molly-Mae.”
