Big Bruv 6 betting 'sting'
By JOHN KAY
TV INSIDERS are plotting a £1million Big Brother betting sting, it is feared.
And bookies have had an anonymous tip off that secret info was used in past shows.
The sixth series of the show, presented by Davina McCall, is due to start on May 27.
And the mystery informant says a gang plans to use inside knowledge to pocket a fortune.
Bookies William Hill believe it is possible to predict who will be evicted after only 1,000 votes.
A Hills spokesman said some BB5 betting patterns were 'suspicious'.
And they suspect inside info was used during the last celebrity series - when they got a flurry of last-minute bets before Caprice and Jeremy Edwards got the boot.
Channel 4 bosses last night said they had a 'robust' system in place to prevent cheating.
