I'm A Celebrity South Africa odds see favourite emerge for first jungle 'legend'

The new series of I'm A Celebrity South Africa hasn't even started yet - but the winner is already in the bag, according to the latest odds from the bookies.

The ITV all-star series is set to kick off tonight, Monday April 24, and will see several former celeb campmates return to the jungle to compete for the ultimate crown - but they're not in for an easy ride, in what has been dubbed the "toughest series yet". Boxing champion Amir Khan is back for round two in the jungle, accompanied by Olympian Fatima Whitbread, Happy Mondays legend Shaun Ryder, Coronation Street's Helen Flanagan, and presenter Carol Vorderman.

Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo, supermodel Janice Dickinson, and former royal butler Paul Burrell have also landed in South Africa, along with former cricketer Phil Tufnell to complete the line-up - with some late arrivals having been teased by hosts Ant and Dec too. But according to Ladbrokes, fates may already be sealed when it comes to who will get to wear the jungle crown, with Phil Tufnell currently the hot favourite for the win, The Mirror reports.
