Iain Lee the most popular pick to win Im A Celeb 2017 as odds are slashed
"
It’s been an up and down few weeks in camp for Iain Lee but it seems that he's riding a wave of popularity with viewers and punters alike as his odds to win this year's I’m A Celeb have been drastically cut.
He’s been tested with some brutal Bushtucker trials but has battled gamely to overcome his fear of water and heights and despite his campmates appearing to be less than supportive, he could be in line to become the first ‘King’ of the jungle since 2014.
His odds were as big as 22/1 yesterday morning, but after last night’s episode aired, the 44-year old became as short as 6/1 with one bookie.
Lee is the most popular pick since last night’s show with a quarter of all bets going on him and he can be currently found at a best price of 12/1.
Georgia Toffolo remains the firm favourite however, with the reality star a best price 1/4(NOW 1/5 
) to become the third consecutive ‘Queen’ of the jungle.
Oddschecker Spokesman George Elek: “Rebekah Vardy has faced criticism for her treatment of Iain Lee, but the situation has seemingly softened the public view of him. Whilst Georgia is still the heavy favourite, Lee now looks like a real contender after being a huge price previously to win the series."
Let's get things straight, it was/is pretty pathetic that Lee felt the need to go down the "poor me" route in order to be "liked" or gain any significant support. However, if he genuinely believes it's the only way to topple the toff(after observing, like we all have, that she's the chosen one) an exception can be made. Especially as we've seen the pathetic way in which toff and her gang have had the neck to question
HIS sincerity
Trying to run him down as they fear he's outplaying their fakeness with his own "underdog" maneuvers. Now that we're moving into the home stretch.. the desperation for airtime, to stand out, to be recognised as a "winner" is once again intensifying. Highly amusing to watch dummy Lomas obviously believing he has a decent shot of winning if only he commands some xtra airtime(unbeknown to him that the more airtime he gets, the more his winning chance swims away) His desperation to bulldoze himself for trials has been quite pathetic. Made even worse when he basically dismissed everyone else for for the latest one(especially Lee) and demanded he be the one to do it, desperate to go away and come back the "hero" with a full house. Feeling like a loser for only getting 6 from 8, he defiantly assured everyone that it was still the "right decision" as he confidently predicted Lee would've "struggled"..
Anyway, while it remains HIGHLY UNLIKELY that the show would allow any other winner than the one they'd planned from the get-go, IF anyone other than her were to be crowned the winner, it would be the greatest of very few celebratory moments we've had in what can only be considered a fairly rotten season.
