There is a new clear favourite to win I'm A Celebrity as Ian Wright's odds drift

It doesn't look like it's just viewers who have gone off Ian Wright since I'm A Celebrity kicked off as bookies now have him well out of the running to win this year's show.

I'm A Celebrity returned to our screens a week ago and before this year's lineup had even entered the jungle, bookmakers across the country were tipping football legend Ian to triumph Down Under.

But after quite a lot of moaning and a spat with comedian Andrew Maxwell over food, the Arsenal and England striker has fallen away significantly in the betting.

Over the past few days the favourite to win I'm A Celeb has switched between Caitlyn Jenner, and Roman Kemp and it is now Capital Radio host Roman who is the hot tip to win with William Hill, ahead of the eliminations beginning this week.

Punters who backed early favourite Ian will be cursing as he is now one of the big outsiders at 25/1.

“Ian Wright has been a spectacular disappointment and there will be a large number of disappointed football fans,” said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.
