I know someone who's a massive fan of Katie Price and is watching the show purely for her and goes to her book signings etc.
Can anyone "verify" a fan base? Katie Price is popular, if she wasn't she wouldn't still be around. The TV programmes, the books, the perfumes, etcetc. she's a massive brand because of her fans. If there was no fan base, they'd be no TV shows, books or perfumes - the brand wouldn't exist.
I'm not saying the person I know represents Katie's fan base, but she clearly had the advantage over everyone else going into the house in terms of her fan base, whether those fans are dedicated enough to vote or even watch the programme will be another thing entirely, but personally, I'd be very surprised if she doesn't win; but that's without watching the show and basing it purely on what I know of the housemates on the outside.
