Joe's in pole position

BOOKIES are getting set for a £10-million reality telly betting bonanza over the next few weeks as the stars head into the jungle for I'm A Celeb...

Punters have been splashing loads of cash on bets for X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing - but things are set to go into overload as the stars head into the jungle.

So far ex EastEnder Joe Swash is the favourite to win at odds of 7/2.

If these figures are anything to go by, it will be a year for the boys with singer Simon Webbe coming in second at 4/1.

Tennis ace Martina Navratilova and Star Trek legend George Takei are tied at 7/1, followed by presenter Esther Rantzen and WAG Carly Zucker with 8/1.

Blond bombshell Dani Behr is rated at12/1 along with ex Met deputy assistant Brian Paddick.

Glamour girl Nicola McClean and politician-turned presenter Robert Kilroy-Silk are at the bottom with 14/1 odds.

Not surprisingly, Robert and Nicola are both mostly likely to be evicted first - which will be a disappointment to blokes looking forward to watching the saucy blonde in action.

So far, Robert has slightly less to offer - though that doesn't necessarily mean he will be Shafted early!

Last year panto king Christopher Biggins, 59, cost bookies a fortune when he emerged to win the series - despite being one of the underdogs.

So far tennis ace Martina Navratilova, 52, is the betters' Biggins as the best backed contestant - but that doesn't mean she will win.

William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said: "Biggins' win last year cost us dear and we are out to get our revenge this year as there is no obvious stand out yet!"

Wait and see!
