Jill Scott tipped to win ITV I'm A Celebrity with Matt Hancock second favourite as Boy George reveals unaired conversation

Jill Scott is bookies' favourite to win the 2022 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here after winning hearts with her grit and sense of humour. But some fans are predicting former health secretary Matt Hancock could take home the crown after arriving as a controversial latecomer.

According to Oddschecker, ex Lioness Jill leads the way at to be crowned Queen of the Jungle at 4/11 while Matt Hancock sits at 5/1 to be crowned King. Hollyoaks star Owen Warner is placed at 9/1 and former England rugby star Mike Tindall has a chance of 18/1.

West Suffolk MP Matt, who had the Tory whip suspended after it was revealed that was going into the camp, remains in the show despite earlier predictions that he would be the first to leave. The politician, who was health secretary during the Covid-19 pandemic, asked for "a bit of forgiveness" as he was grilled by his fellow campmates - but now he's made it to the final four set to take on the much-loved Celebrity Cyclone challenge.
