According to Oddschecker.com, Michael Fabricant is bottom of the odds to be crowned the winner, meaning that he could be seen as the favourite to be evicted first.
Other stars treading water in the Celebrity Big Brother winner odds are Daley Thompson and Mickey Rourke, the latter of whom was heavily impacted by his controversial entrance.
Former Love Island star Chris Hughes is currently favourite to win, followed by RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Danny Beard, and Corrie star Jack P. Shepherd. Although, this could all change within a matter of days, when viewers get to know the stars a little more and nominations are announced.
