I’m A Celeb winner ‘revealed’ hours ahead of final
THE winner of the I’m A Celebrity final is nailed on, according to the bookies.
Footballer Jill Scott is the overwhelming favourite to see off Matt Hancock and Owen Warner to wear the jungle crown.
And 46 percent of Sun readers agree, based on our latest poll asking who they’d like to win.
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.”
Of course, it’s not over until it’s over and viewers are ultimately in control of who they want to make their champion.

Win or lose though, Jill is set to cash in to the tune of millions of pounds after reaching the series final, according to reports.
The retired footballer, who capped her long international career in the summer with Euros glory, is the last woman standing in camp.
And whether she’s crowned queen of the jungle or not tonight, lucrative offers are already being lined up for her.
A source told the Mirror: “Jill is being loved by the audience, as we
hoped she would be. People are seeing the funny and courageous person that fans of women’s football already know and love.

“Her team has been bombarded with offers. She also has her coffee shop in Manchester and likes to work there, but she’ll struggle to fit in shifts with the amount of work on offer elsewhere.”
Jill picked up a decent payday for her three weeks in the jungle; in the region of £120,000.
However, that is some way short of fellow finalist Matt Hancock, who bagged a massive £400,000.
Hollyoaks’ Owen Warner was given the smallest pay-packet, around £60,000, but he too is likely to profit hugely from the jungle.
