Former footballer and Hollywood hard-man Vinnie Jones is the early favourite to win Celebrity Big Brother 2010, and currently trades 11-4 on Betfair.
Jones, along with ten other contestants entered the house yesterday, all vying for the public’s affection and Ulrika Johnson’s title.
Musician Jonas Altberg, and former Another Level lead singer Dane Bowers are also being tipped to do well at odds of 5-1 and 15-2 respectively, while American R&B artist Sisqo can be backed at 11-1.
Rapper Lady Sovereign (17-2) and Coronation Street’s Stephanie Beacham (10-1) are currently the most favoured females in the house, with Ronnie Wood’s former 21-year-old girlfriend Katia Ivanova (29-1) and ‘Hollywood Madam’ Heidi Fleiss (41-1) currently the show’s major outsiders.
Betfair spokesman Ari Last said: “Favourite Vinnie Jones is known for taking no prisoners on the football pitch or silver screen and our punters clearly believe that he’ll benefit from this forthright approach in the Big Brother House.”
