I'm a Celebrity, What are my Chances of Winning?

The yearly Jungle show hasn't even properly started yet, but already the Bookmakers are quoting odds on the eventual winner. I suppose it is not much of a surprise really, such is the popularity of the show. Ever since the Celebrities for Get Me out of Here! were revealed, interest has grown to the usual expected frenzy.

If anything can be drawn at this early or pre-early stage, here are the market odds of victory.

Joe Swash 7/2
Simon Webbe 4/1
Martina Navratilova 7/1
George Takei 7/1
Esther Rantzen 8/1
Carly Zucker 8/1
Dani Behr 12/1
Brian Paddick 12/1
Robert Kilroy Silk 14/1
Nicola McLean 14/1

Ex-Eastenders star is installed as the early favourite from Simon Webb, formally of the boyband Blue.

Robert Kilroy Silk has never been in a Boyband or Eastenders or indeed very popular which may explain why he is not very favoured to win. He is however, equally favoured to glamour model Nicola Mclean, who is largely unknown to just about every one outside her own house.

I'm hoping that Mr Sulu wins, aka George Takei. He never let the Starship Enterprise down so I'm definitely with him. If Martina Navratilova turns out to be a Klingon, then it could really get interesting.

I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here 2008 !!!

This Sunday, it is back! I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here !!!

Is this a good thing? Is this show now old hat? Yesterdays news?

Well... each year the shows success is totally dependant on the Celebs themselves.. or almost celebs as rarely have you heard of all of them. Some Jungle outings are a lot better than others. For some reason, I have a good feeling about this one.

Cheeky Newcastle chappies, Ant and Dec will of course, be there again. The initial Television advert is currently running comprising of clips from last years show. In 2007 I'm a Celebrity was won by the shy and retiring, Christopher Biggins. Ok... he wasn't that shy... or indeed retiring.

I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here !!! - 2008 Celebrities revealed !!!!

Not long now. The 2008 version of I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here starts this Sunday. Speculation has been running rife for some time on who will be featuring this time round. If the ITV's website is to be believed and they are not just throwing us some elaborate bluff, here are this years celebrity Jungle campers.

Brian Paddick
George Takei
Joe Swash
Robert Kilroy-Silk
Simon Webbe

Carly Zucker
Dani Behr
Esther Rantzen
Martina Navratiliva
Nicola Mclean

It was reported on The Sun's website that Comedian, Ricky Grover had signed to do the show. Mysteriously, there is no mention of him in the announced lineup.

Some of the above names you will recognize, some you will not. Carly Zucker is Footballer, Joe Cole's, fiancee. Nicola Mclean is a glamour model, Joe Swash formally was in Eastenders playing Mickey Miller, George Takei famously played Mr Sulu in the original Star Trek and more recently featured in the hit show, Heroes.

Is this announced lineup correct? Well, for now we will have to believe it, but won't really know for definite until the start of Sunday's show.

One questions why either Martina Navratilova or George Takei have agreed to live in jungle squalor and be covered in and eat bugs for the next few weeks. With an extremely successful Tennis career behind her, Martina is hardly strapped for cash and George Takei has probably got money coming out of his ears. He has a distinguished actor career behind him, so why chose this?

On Sunday the waters should become a lot clearer... it is then when you normally spot the Alligator!
