The I’m A Celebrity 2021 contestants are already feeling the strain of life in the camp, with Richard Madeley rushed to hospital after suffering a seizure but viewers are already starting to wonder who will win I’m A Celebrity 2021?
Ever since the 10 celebrities were announced that they were headed for the I’m A Celebrity castle, bookmakers have been inundated with odds over who might win the King or Queen of the jungle title and two new celebrities are set to be introduced.
And while viewers at home might have changed their minds about who they think will win after watching the stars in action and depending on who left I’m A Celebrity last night? many others are keen to find out who is the most likely to win this series as we look at which stars are being backed as potential winners before we make that all-important public vote…
Who will win I’m A Celebrity 2021?
Late arrival Simon Gregson has already pushed Ex-Tottenham and Newcastle legend David Ginola off the top spot when it comes to the favourite to win I’m A Celebrity. David, who had been the frontrunner since the start of the series, has slipped to second place (11-4) after the Coronation Street star got the backing of fans which has secured him as a 5-2 favourite so far with William Hill bookmakers.
Singer turned Loose Women panelist Frankie Bridge, another former favourite, before BBC Radio 1Xtra DJ Snoochie Shy, a once 16-1 outsider, has now been backed into 6-1. Ex-Emmerdale man Danny Miller has now drifted as far out as 10-1.
William Hill spokesperson Rupert Adams said, ‘The past few days in camp have been a fascinating watch and we’re learning more about both Simon and Adam’s real-life personalities with every single show. But it’s Simon, in particular, who appears to be a down-to-earth, intelligent and witty guy, and has therefore proved a popular candidate to win outright with our customers.
He added, “There appears to be a clear divide opening up now across the book, with 10-1 Danny Miller the last of those with a genuine shot, in the eyes of our customers at least.”
Last night, music producer Naughty Boy, now at 16-1, once again toyed with the idea of quitting the castle – having now made a total of four separate threats to quit, but quickly remixed his decision after bringing home an impressive 11 stars from the Creepy Closets trial.
His success led some viewers to suggest the show’s bosses had deliberately given him an easy ride in bid to ensure he continued as a contestant.
One fan tweeted, ‘Wow! Didn’t Naughty Boy have an easy ride compared to Richard! #minipulated #unfair’
Another viewer put, ‘Has @antanddec just given @NaughtyBoyMusic a pass. #RichardMadely didn’t have such an easy ride in the challenge. Is this to keep the young WOKE in the show. John Wayne couldn’t have made knots that large on a rope.’
And a third fan added, ‘He should get voted to do every challenge , he’s absolutely useless !! After watching the camp mates last meal , I can’t wait till ” I’m a celebrity ” is back in Oz , where there’s no easy ride !!!’

The latest saga followed Thursday night’s clash overcooking, or more specifically rice pudding, between Naughty and Frankie Bridge.
The camp was shown a goodbye message from departing Richard Madeley, who was rushed to hospital after a medical emergency on the set and subsequently withdrew. That left Frankie and an already struggling outsider Dame Arlene Phillips, at 100-1, in tears, and the group in desperate need of a lift.

Who was the I’m A Celebrity winner in 2020?
Giovanna Fletcher was the I’m A Celebrity winner in 2020.
She became the first-ever Queen of the Castle when she won I’m A Celebrity, as the show was forced to move from Australia to Wales due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Giovanna, who is mum to Buzz, six, Buddy, four, and Max, two, with her husband Tom Fletcher – opened up on the devastating event that happened before her first son was born.
While Giovanna was locked away in Gwrych Castle with the likes of Vernon Kay and Jordan North, Meghan Markle revealed she experienced a miscarriage in an article she wrote for the New York Times.
Who could steal the crown this year, you’ll have to tune in to see…
I’m A Celebrity 2021 airs on ITV nightly at 9pm/9.15pm.
