Celebrity Big Brother Betting Odds: Bookies make Ekin-Su Culculoglu FAVOURITE ahead of tonight's Celebrity Big Brother kick-off!

Ekin-Su Culculoglu is the early favourite to win this year's Celebrity Big Brother

The reboot of Celebrity Big Brother gets underway this evening and UK Betting Sites are offering early odds on who will win the show with the line-up still not officially announced.

ITV bosses revealed that they won't announce the full line-up but will leave it as a surprise for the opening show instead but various reports have leaked the line-up.

Former Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu is the 7/2 favourite in the betting market to win the show with bookies expecting her to be a big star on the show.

William Hill's latest betting market suggests an implied probability of 22% that Ekin-Su is the winner ahead of Coronation Street's Colson Smith.

12 celebrities will enter as housemates, with Sharon Osbourne expected to enter for just a week

With ITV not announcing the Celebrity Big Brother line-up, we're left with leaked reports to see what the suggested 12-person list is.

We've got big names featuring in the leaked list such as former X-Factor judge Louis Walsh to some relative unknowns like Gary Goldsmith, who is famous for being Kate Middleton's uncle.

The Sun have also reported that Sharon Osbourne will be a 13th celebrity to enter, but her massive fee was too expensive for ITV to keep her in for a long stint.

• Louis Walsh, former X-Factor judge
• Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, former Love Island star
• Levi Roots, businessman known for his ‘Reggae Reggae Sauce’ 
• Gary Goldsmith, Kate Middleton’s uncle 
• Lauren Simon, Real Housewives of Cheshire star
• Fern Britton, former This Morning presenter 
• Colson Smith, Coronation Street Actor 
• Marisha Wallace, American Actress 
• Zeze Millz, Social Media influencer 
• Bradley Riches, Heartstopper Actor 
• David Potts, Ibiza Weekender 
• Nikita Kuzmin, Strictly Come Dancing star

Celebrity Big Brother returns to UK TV after 6 years away from screens

After a six-year hiatus, Celebrity Big Brother makes a comeback to television screens this evening, with the last instalment airing in 2018 on Channel 5.

During that series, actor Ryan Thomas emerged as the victor but the season was marred by controversy between Thomas and Roxanne Pallett. 

She had accused Thomas of physical abuse, a claim that was disproven by footage aired to the British public and the incident, dubbed "punchgate" by the media, prompted over 25,000 complaints to Ofcom.
