Following reports of a ‘confirmed’ Celebrity Big Brother 2018 line-up, former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas has emerged as the early favourite.
Currently 3/1, we believe he is the early front-runner to win this year’s “Eye of the Storm” themed edition.
Next up in the betting is Dan Osbourne (4/1), followed by adult movie star Stormy Daniels (6/1) and former Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett.

Kidnapped model Chloe Ayling is 14/1 to win the show, the same price as ex-Arsenal star Jermaine Pennant.
And, with the Big Brother franchise in the last year of its contract with Channel 5, who are reportedly reluctant to renew the deal – our traders make ITV (4/6) the clear favourites to poach the show, with a return to Channel 4 rated at 2/1.
Our own spokesman Paddy Power said: “With Channel 5 reportedly ready to evict CBB, it’s no surprise they’ve looked wide and far for contestants this season to draw in the viewers.
“That’s how we’ve ended up with the eclectic mix of a footballer, an adult movie star, a ‘Human Ken Doll’ and a Love Islander.”
