Punters through oddschecker have correctly predicted the winner of I’m A Celebrity before three of the last four seasons.
As I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! prepares to kick off its 24th season this Sunday, historical data from oddschecker reveals that bettors have correctly picked the winner in three out of the last four editions.
Giovanna Fletcher in 2020, Danny Miller in 2021, and Jill Scott in 2022 each led as the most popular bets before the season began and went on to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle.
Last year, however, saw the streak break, as Nigel Farage was the most-backed contestant but ultimately finished in third place.

|---|---|---|
| Nigel Farage | 22% | 3rd |
| Jill Scott | 16% | 1st |
