I'm a Celebrity 2026 winner tips: Wayne Rooney pre-show favourite

In fact, the bookies think there's a decent chance that Rooney is going to be crowned 'King of the Jungle' in a few weeks, giving him an assumed probability of over 33%.

For context, Joanna Page (known as Stacey in Gavin & Stacey) has been priced as the second-favourite to win I'm a Celebrity this year, with Ladbrokes giving her a 25% shot at being crowned 'Queen of the Jungle'.

The third favourite is Leigh Francis (better known as Keith Lemon), although the comedian won't be going into the jungle on day one and is set to be a late arrival.

Internet stars Chloe Burrows and Sharky have both been priced outside of the top three for this year's I'm a Celebrity. That could potentially be viewed as surprising given the fact that last year's series was won by Angry Ginge, who is an internet streamer himself.

Jack Skipper, Ricky Wilson, AJ Odudu, Ade Adepitan and Claire Sweeney are all priced between 9/1 and 20/1, with Leomie Anderson and Mariella Frostrup viewed as the two campmates least likely to win I'm a Celebrity this year.

A lot will change with regards to the odds for the I'm a Celebrity winner as the show progresses, but betting before it starts can give punters the opportunity to get some better odds for someone who isn't viewed as a front-runner right now, but could go on to become a favourite.
