I’m a Celebrity fans declared a ‘state of alarm’ on Friday night after new bookies favourite Owen Warner was told he ‘might be’ going home from the jungle. And, heading into Sunday's final, the soap star had slipped to third in the odds.
While he was very much in the middle of the pack as far as bookies were concerned, when the new series of the ITV show kicked off. Hollyoaks actor Owen has crept further and further into contention as the weeks have gone on, so much so that, earlier this week, he edged out England Lionesses hero Jill Scott to be the new favourite to snatch the jungle crown, as many bookies could not separate the two in the odds.
With Owen hotly tipped to at least make this year’s I’m A Celebrity final, viewers were expecting to see him breeze through the latest public vote on Friday. But instead, the soap star has a nail-biting wait as he and eventual evictee Sean Walsh had their fate revealed to them by hosts Ant and Dec.
