Northumberland lad Brad McLelland, who bookmakers Coral made one of the joint-second favourites to win at 3-1 before the show was first aired last night (Monday), was coupled with Faye Winter, a 5-1 bet from the outset. Those first impressions made a big impact and propelled the former Amble high school pupil Brad into pole position. Here are Coral’s latest odds – from outsider to favourite, or ‘not’ to ‘hot’:
1. Chloe Burrows, 9/1 outsider
Still the outsider after going into the villa at 8/1. Chloe, a 25-year-old marketing executive from Bicester, is on the hunt for a man who is just as loud as she is.
