Action in Celebrity Big Brother is heating up, with clashes over food
being just one of the issues that housemates have had to deal with this past
week.
The favorite to win at the moment is Hollywood hardman Vinnie Jones, who is
the highest paid housemate. Some sources have reported that he is being paid GBP
350,000 for taking part, twice as much as last year's winner, Ulrika Jonsson.
So what makes Jones so popular?
"Vinnie looks like the perfect Big Brother star," said a spokesperson for
Ladbrokes. "He's got attitude, personality and is likely to shake the house to
its foundations."
Sharing the communal Celebrity Big Brother bedroom are other top stars,
including Ronnie Wood ex, Ekaterina Ivanova, actor Stephen Baldwin and Lady
Sovereign, rapper extraordinaire.
Coming in a close second on the bookie lists is Alex Reid, Katie Price's ex,
who proved to be the biggest mover this weekend, coming down from 16/1 at some
sites to 7/1 at Paddy Power.
Reid is currently sharing this position with US singer, Sisqo.
Paddy Power has posted the latest odds for Celebrity Big Brother:
Vinnie Jones - 8/11
Sisqo - 7/1
