Katrina Hodge, better known as Miss England 2009, is a massive 199-1 on Betfair to win the Miss World contest in Johannesburg tomorrow.
The 22-year-old from Tunbridge Wells finds herself well behind in the betting and looks set to come home empty-handed. Miss Scotland could fare better, currently 49-1, but if the betting is anything to go by Miss Wales (229-1) and Miss Northern Ireland (339-1) would be best advised to head home now.
Leading the field is Miss Puerto Rico at 11-5, though Miss Mexico is close behind on 12-5. Punters are clearly backing Latino flair over European charm, with Europe’s most-backed babe, Miss France, at 15-1.
Betfair spokesman Michael Robb said: “Yet again, punters are betting that England cannot produce a beauty capable of taking the Miss World title. “The UK last won in 1983 and it looks almost certain the barren spell will be extended this year.”
