Brian remains favourite for UBB crown

Brian remains the favourite to win the final of Ultimate Big Brother after the housemates were whittled down to just seven.

The final, which will take place on Friday, will involve Brian, Chantelle, Nick, Nikki, Preston, Ulrika and Victor following the eviction of both Michelle and Vanessa.

BB2 winner Brian is the clear favourite with bookmakers Paddy Power at 4/11, with Chantelle (7/2) and Nikki (11/2) the only realistic contenders for the prize.

The list of outsiders includes Victor (14/1), Nick (33/1), Preston (33/1) and Ulrika (50/1).

Coverage of the Ultimate Big Brother final begins at 7.30pm on Friday on Channel 4.
