I'm A Celebrity Betting: Jimmy to be all White on the night

I'm a Celebrity / Dan Fitch / 27 November 2009 / Leave a Comment

Even our heroes have to grow old.

Sabrina is a very bubbly character, so I’d go with the better value Fox to depart, who these days acts as a visual warning to blokes who get married to young, fresh-faced blondes with big boobs.

Either Jimmy White, Sabrina Washington or Sam Fox will leave the jungle tonight. Dan 'The Betting Man' Fitch thinks that Jimmy's armchair fans will come to his rescue.

Jimmy White might be the most popular player in snooker, but he's not nearly so well liked in the jungle.

The Whirlwind, along with Sam Fox and Sabrina Washington, received the most votes from the public yesterday and one of them will be evicted from tonight's show.

White has enjoyed a wild life and the ITV producers obviously thought that they were onto a winner when selecting him for the show.

Unfortunately, it seems that when you take Jimmy out of the dangerous environment of boozy poker rooms, you're just left with a chain-smoking bloke who doesn't say much. Phil Tufnell's job on A Question Of Sport is definitely safe.

White is the [2.66] favourite to go, with Washington at [2.74] and Fox at [3.75]. Whilst I agree that Jimmy has been as boring in the jungle as he is exciting on the baize, he has a legion of loyal fans and is probably too short a price.

I'd favour that either Washington (a former member of Miss-Teeq who wasn't Alesha Dixon), or Sam Fox will go.

Sabrina is a very bubbly character, so I'd go with the better value Fox to depart, who these days acts as a visual warning to blokes who get married to young, fresh-faced blondes with big boobs.

In the winner market, chef Gino D'Acampo is the runaway favourite at [1.6] despite the recent shocking news that he once spent time in prison for burgling Paul Young's house.

Young is no doubt an avid watcher of the show, what with his 'Love of the Common People'. He famously sung that 'Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)' and he might also fancy laying Gino at that price. The profits could even pay for the extra burglar alarms he's had to fit.

D'Acampo is certainly the liveliest and most likeable of the contestants, but there's no value at those slender odds.

Hollywood braggart George Hamilton is the second favourite at [6.6], but I'd be concerned with that dodgy looking moustache he's growing. Kim comes next at [8.0] but she will annoy as many people as she wins fans.

My money goes on the former-Hollyoakes nobody Stuart Manning at [26.0], especially if it all blows up between him and the camp villain Joe Bugner.

There's no need to be scared, Stuart. Bugner never had much of a punch and if Scott Welch could beat him, there's hope for anyone.
