Jill Scott is being billed as a 'certainty' to win I'm A Celebrity, as her odds shortened again with just hours to go until the final on Sunday, with one time favourite Owen Warner now tipped to finish behind Matt Hancock.
The England Lionesses hero has been an absolute trooper in the Australian jungle from the get-go, staying out of some of the petty squabbles in camp, smashing the Bushtucker Trials she's done and having some great banter with hosts Ant and Dec in the process. This week, the name at the top of the I'm A Celebrity winner odds has changed on numerous occasions, as Owen crept more and more into the frame.
For a few days, various bookmakers were torn on who they backed to win I'm A Celebrity, with some going for Jill and others putting their faith in Hollyoaks actor Owen for the crown. But after Mike Tindall's shock exit on Saturday, with him previously dipped as 'nailed on' to be third, Jill is now out and out favourite to win the final.

She is on 2/9 with William Hill and, in a shock turn of events, Owen is now behind Matt, with the former Health Secretary defying everyone's expectations by making the final, given he was originally tipped as dead cert to be voted out first. Matt has now overtaken Owen, with his odds now standing at 5/1 , ahead of Owen who's massively dropped from being 11/8 frontrunner just a few days ago to 10/1 outsider for victory.
Speaking before the final, William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, said: “She had drifted out to odds-against earlier this week, but Jill Scott has been heavily backed in recent days for the I’m A Celeb title and is now the overwhelming favourite at 2/9 ahead of tonight’s final.
“She’s by far the most likely winner according to the odds, with Matt Hancock next best at 5/1 and Owen Warner the outsider of the three at 10/1.”
