Will Mellor tipped to win Fame Academy
Casualty star Will Mellor is bookies favourite to win Celebrity Fame Academy - which begins this Friday in aid of Comic Relief. The Saturday show's Fearne Cotton is second favourite, with the rank outsider being Jo Brand.
The week-long show will see nine stars showcase their talents - or lack of them - in aid of Comic Relief.
Others taking part are Ulrika Jonsson, Cold Feet star John Thomson, Ruby Wax, Kwame Kwei-Armah, This Morning presenter Paul Ross and Doon Mackichan.
But while all nine celebrities are hoping to enter the Academy, only eight will make it.
It begins this Friday when the hopefuls perform on a live BBC1 show and the public vote for their favourite. The seven celebrities with the most votes are guaranteed a place in the Academy. They must then pick one of the remaining two to join them and the other will be sent packing.
The week-long show will be hosted by Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty and the students will be put through their paces by the same Academy team led by headteacher Richard Park.
Each night the three worse performing students will be put up for eviction and one will get the boot, until the winner is chosen on next Friday's show which forms part of Red Nose Night on March 14.
The odds from bookmakers Ladbrokes are:
Will Mellor - 5/4;
Fearne Cotton - 7/2;
Ulrika Jonsson - 5/1:
Doon Mackichan - 6/1;
John Thomson - 10/1;
Ruby Wax - 14/1;
Kwame Kwei-Armah - 12/1;
Paul Ross - 16/1;
Jo Brand - 20/1.
