Countdown Begins As Jungle Date Is Confirmed
Betting experts are already busy ahead of this year's I'm A Celebrity, with Monday 16 November at 9pm pencilled in as the start date for the new series.
Attention has quickly turned to who might be heading Down Under this year, and while ITV is yet to confirm the full line-up, a lengthy list of names has already been priced up across the contestant market.
Leading the way is Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson, installed as the clear market leader at 1/2, a price that suggests the experts see him as a strong candidate to be confirmed for camp.
He's not alone at the top, either, with a genuinely broad mix of sport, television and politics represented throughout the rest of the list.

From there the market tightens considerably. Diversity's Perri Kiely and reality star Sharky share a price of 6/4 (40.0%), while Love Island's Chloe Burrows and football pundit Roy Keane are matched at 2/1 (33.3%).

Names To Watch As The Field Takes Shape
With over a month still to go until the launch date, this list is very unlikely to be the finished article.
Contestant markets like this one traditionally move fast once names are strongly linked or ruled out by production, and with a genuine mix of profiles already involved, there's plenty of scope for the market to reshuffle before camp opens.
Ricky Wilson's status at the top will be the one to watch most closely, given how quickly a short-priced favourite in these markets can either be confirmed outright or drift once speculation cools.
