I'm A Celebrity viewers reckon they've figured out the winner and it's not Jill Scott or Mike Tindall

I'm A Celebrity viewers are convinced they know who will win the show as the final draws closer and it's neither of the two bookies' favourites.

Mike Tindall and Jill Scott have long been tipped as the two market leader with bookmakers but viewers are swaying to another campmate.

Hollyoaks star Owen Warner stormed to victory during the latest trial, in a task that co-star Chris Moyles previously failed at.

Owen secured all nine stars with plenty of time to spare, earning praise from both the viewers and his campmates.

He'd already proven to be a hit with fans after recent episodes, that have seen him drop a number of one liners and call out Tory MP Matt Hancock.

Now, many viewers are believing he could go all the way and win the series in the final.

Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "Can we crown Owen the king of the jungle already?"

Another agreed: "Owen to be crowned King of the Jungle," as a third fan commented: "Owen for the win surely?"

A fourth viewer said: "HOW IS OWEN SO BRAVE!? I LOVE HIM HE NEEDS TO WIN."

It comes after Scarlette Douglas broke down in tears, as she was second to be booted out of the jungle on Sunday night.

As she joined hosts Ant and Dec, she admitted she was gutted to be leaving so soon, as others were keen to go.

She explained she wanted to keep herself busy as she was a "team player" and was desperate to get "stuck in".

There was no exit on Saturday night, while Friday's episode saw the first elimination of the series with Charlene White being first to go.

Following her exit, Charlene explained how Hancock going into the jungle ruined it for her - as she was always concerned about her impartiality as a journalist as that is her primary job.

She told The Mirror and other press: "Being there and having a laugh and having a joke – that kind of finished when Matt came. Because I have interviewed enough of the families who have lost loved ones during the pandemic.

"I am one of those. As soon as he walked in I thought ‘I’m going to be walking a tightrope here.'

"If I don’t think about them and ask the questions they want to know regarding his reasoning for going into the jungle when we are in the middle of the inquiry into the reaction after the pandemic... then I’m not doing my job.

"It went from me just having a laugh to constantly worrying... whether I would still be taken seriously when it comes to dealing with politicians."

Meanwhile, Olivia Attwood was the first 2022 campmate to leave the show just days into it launching, after she was forced to withdraw.

The Love Island star was left "gutted" when she learned she could not return to the camp, after being removed due to concerning results from a health test in camp.

After being taken to A&E, Olivia was advised she would not be able to return with more tests needing to be done, while she has since confirmed she is fine and healthy.

I'm A Celebrity airs every night at 9pm on Virgin Media One.
