South African archery champion Vanessa Nimmo is bookies favourite for eviction this Friday.

Ladbrokes has her as 2/7 on for eviction - with Dan at 9/4 against.

Warren Lush, a spokesmen for Ladbrokes, commented: "Money suggests this is not a contest, punters think Vanessa is certain to go.

"If the one-way traffic for her continues we may have to close the book early otherwise we would be just giving money away."

Onetime favourites to win, Shell and Dan, have had a mauling in the popularity stakes - with the advent of the bedsit really shaking things up.

Emma and Marco have overtaken both of them to be installed as punters number one choisce to win the reality show.

Emma is at 5/1, while Marco is available at 7/1.

Ahmed's still trails the pack - despite smashing plates and going generally loopy - and only a brave person would put money on him walking out of the house last at 66/1.
