I'm a Celebrity / Dan Fitch / 01 December 2009 /

With the old timers Joe Bugner and George Hamilton having left the jungle, Dan 'The Betting Man' Fitch looks at the remaining contestants and thinks that Justin Ryan will leave tonight.

It's been a busy couple of days in the jungle, in which we've lost a couple of the golden oldies.

First Joe went up against Stuart in the Jungle Jail task. It was built up as a tense head-to-head encounter. 'Who will go?' demanded Ant and Dec, as we went into a commercial break.

This tension was rather undercut as they showed a brief preview of what we'd see after the break, which included footage of a relieved looking Stuart sitting around, enjoying himself in the camp. Bye, bye then Joe.

In truth, it looked as though Joe wanted to go. Whilst Stuart eagerly made his way through an underground tunnel to escape the jail, Joe pretended to not be able to find the combination to the lock on the trap door.

I can't blame Joe for not wanting to go underground. Lying on his back, with the lights turned off, might have reminded him of being knocked out by Frank Bruno.

Having lost a big personality in the camp, the group lost another when George Hamilton decided to walk out. George was the second favourite to win the show and by walking, highlighted one of the dangers when betting on reality shows.

With the jungle foliage getting in between George and the sun's UV rays, Hamilton decided to leave, claiming that he didn't want to win the show and would rather the opportunity go to one of the other contestants whose career was ahead of them.

So which one will that be? A nearly 70-year old cleaning lady, a snooker player who is now ranked 56th in the world, a singer from a long defunct group that no one really remembers anyway, a painter and decorator, a cook whose trademark is barely being able to speak English, or an actor from a TV show that exclusively features actors that can't act? You decide.

First though, there's the matter of another eviction. Sabrina and Justin received the least votes yesterday and one will leave tonight. Sabrina is the favourite at [1.4], but I don't think there's much in it and will be backing Justin at [3.1].

In the winner market, the punters think that it's all sewn up for Gino, who trades at [1.38]. Jimmy is the second favourite at [8.4], Kim is [9.2], Stuart is [27.0], Justin is [29.0] and Sabrina a distant [71.0].

I'm sticking with Stuart as my pick, partly because of the fact that he's now getting more coverage, as the group gets smaller and partly because of stubbornness.
