William Hill sees biggest ever TV wager on Tony Hadley winning I’m A Celebrity

hadleyWilliam Hill has announced that it has taken its biggest ever TV single wager on English songwriter/actor Tony Hadley winning this year’s ‘I’m A Celebrity; Get Me Out of Here! reality  contest.

The bookmaker detailed that it had recorded a £25,000 bet on Hadley emerging as ITV’s ‘King of the Jungle’.

If the punter wins his bet, William Hill will be paying the individual a huge £175,000 pay out, making it the first ever reality TV bet to potentially return over £100,000.

Responding to the wager on the former Spandau Ballet singer, William Hill’s trading team cut Hadleys odds from 6/1 to 3/1 making him the clear market favourite.

YouTube celebrity George Shelley and Hollyoaks actress Jorgie Porter are joint 4/1 second favourites to win the popular ITV show.

William Hill PR spokesman Joe Crilly commented on the wager

“This is a massive wager for a reality TV market and there is plenty to suggest that this individual would have met Tony Hadley and clearly thinks he has the personality and mettle to win the show,”

The new series of ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity; Get Me Out of Here!’ will launch on Sunday 15 November at 21hrs on ITV 2
