Sophie will quit first, say bookies

With the final line-up for the next I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! having been confirmed yesterday, the bookies have decided that Sophie Anderton is the best bet to walk out of the jungle of her own accord, standing at 3/1 in Ladbrokes' estimation.
Ladbrokes spokesman Warren Lush explained: "We think Sophie will walk first and she is a hotter favourite to quit than Danniella Westbrook was in the last series. Bookies fancy she's in too delicate a state to survive the cut and thrust of the jungle."
"Burrell may have burnt a few bridges in his time but we think he'll be walking across the bridge when the first celebrity out is announced. The fact that he could take on the role of housekeeper and camp chef could save him, however."
"We have seen money for Antonio Fargas and we've been forced to cut his odds to 8/1 from 14/1. Early signs suggest the cult of Huggy Bear lives on."
"We estimate that the industry will take a record £5 million on the show with hundreds of thousands of bets. For bookmakers, I'm A Celebrity gets bigger and bigger every series."
Natalie Appleton stands as favourite to win at 3/1, whilst Princess Di's ex-butler Paul Burrell is 2/1 favourite to be booted first.
