Bookies have started taking bets on Celebrity Big Brother even though the final line-up has not been confirmed.

Eddie Irvine is one of the favourites to win the show at 4/1 alongside Red Dwarf star Craig Charles who is 7/2 joint favourite.

Other possible contestants who are likely to take part, and likely to be popular with viewers include busty Sam Fox (6/1) and EastEnder Chris Parker (7/2).

Outsiders to win the show include racing guru John McCririck at 25/1 and disgraced Chelsea star Adrian Mutu at 20/1.

Myleene Klass and Emma B are 8/1 favourite to win the show.
