Footballer Jimmy Bullard favourite for I’m a Celebrity 2014 Crown

A STAGGERING 70% of all I’m A Celebrity wagers in the last 72 hours have been for Jimmy Bullard to win the show, according to Ladbrokes.

The ex-footballer is proving such a hit with punters that one male customer from Essex has placed £1000 on Jimmy’s chances of winning this year’s series, and the jungle joker now looks set to begin the show as the shortest ever priced favourite with odds of just 7/4.

Craig follows him next in the market at 5/1, or it’s an 8/1 chance that Mel goes on to win.

However, it’s not looking so good for Nadia, as the bookies can reveal that just £4 has been put on her hopes of victory at 20/1.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: “As far as punters are concerned Jimmy’s about to the score the biggest goal of his life by winning I’m A Celebrity. He’s not even in the jungle yet but the money suggests he’s already miles ahead of his rivals.”
