Kerry McFadden and Lord Brockett are the new joint-favourites to win I'm A Celebrity following the impromptu departure of John Lydon earlier this morning.
The pair have odds of 13-8 with bookmakers William Hill, ahead of Jordan at 4-1, who has dropped out of the running somewhat in recent days. Peter Andre is a 7-1 shot with Jennie Bond on 16-1 odds. Alex Best is the outsider at 20-1.
"There's been plenty of talk out contestants wanting to leave in all the shows - and now John Lydon has done it - I suspect he was harder to talk out of it than Danniella Westbrook last year!" said Hills spokeswoman Jennie Prest this morning.
"We were offering 3-1 for any celebrity to walk out on there own accord so a few punters are celebrating today, although that's not much consolation for all John Lydons backers. We are waiting to see if the show chooses to replace him, and currently have betting on the remaining contestants."
Up until his departure, Lydon had been a clear favourite with almost every bookmakers.
