With over 100 countries represented, there is some fervour in the Miss World betting stakes.

Others that vaguely ring a bell are Gino D’Acampo (Chef), Sabrina Washington (Singer) and Stuart Manning (Actor from Hollyoaks).

Last week I predicted that the final four in this year’s ‘I’m A Celebrity – Get Me Out Of Here’ would be Esther Rantzen, George Takei, Joe Swash and Martina Navratilova. This was before Esther finally cracked over the fire incident and health and safety issues and revealed her true character.

Clearly the viewers were less than impressed with Esther and more than bemused with the hugely entertaining David.

This show is a bit like ‘Big Brother’ TV Betting only it’s shorter and some of the contestants have articulacy. It’s a lot more appealing because the character flaws and strengths that the characters gradually reveal over the three weeks they are in there are more interesting and are more relevant to our everyday lives.
