I'm a Celebrity... Matt Hancock now among the favourites to win

Matt Hancock is now more likely to win I’m A Celebrity than rivals Boy George and Chris Moyles, according to the latest bookies’ odds. But England Lioness Jill Scott remains the clear favourite to be crowned Queen of the Jungle at the end of the ITV1 show.

Tory MP Matt has seen his chances of victory improve steadily since his controversial arrival in the celebrity camp. Punters were being offered odds of 40/1 for a Matt Hancock victory when the show first started on November 6. He was ranked 10th in the list of 12 celebrities taking part in the programme.

But after completing a series of Bushtucker trials he has risen to third favourite behind Jill Scott and Mike Tindall, according to the bookmakers’ aggregator site Oddschecker. In contrast, the odds of Boy George winning the show have fallen away from 10/1 at the start to now being a 33/1 outsider.
