These are the "best" current odds for each contestant across the dozen or so well known bookies. Of course, as always, bookies odds reflect the money wagered. So, it's not a true reflection of anyone's chances. However, it does show where the early money is going. Some surprises..for me anyway.

Martina Hingis might be worth a punt..but is 10-1 generous at this stage ? If Richard Dunwoody is any good at all, 28-1 is a gift. My tip..Laila Rouass, I'm going to get in early at 14-1.

. Mostly wishful thinking, but also that being able to get a hardworking, physically fit and personable sportsman at 33-1 is pretty good going!
. He could always try a ballroom one but I can see it ending the same way as the puppets and the two ostriches (aka, Lisa and Brendan).
