Big Brother housemate Yinrun finds himself in the bookmakers’ odds for the first time in this series as a surprise new favorite for the winner’s crown emerges

Big Brother housemate Yinrun has been bumped from first place as the predicted winner in the run-up to the final, according to bookmakers.

Yinrun has been ahead of her fellow contestants with both the public and bookmakers throughout the competition – which has been broadcast on ITV for the past six weeks.

But now that the last group of housemates will say goodbye on Friday, after a season full of nominations, tears and drama, a new frontrunner has emerged.

Experts at WedVictor And Casinos.win I think it’s likely that food critic Henry Southan will take this year’s crown.

“For the first time since week one, we have a new favorite housemate to win,” said BetVictor spokesperson Sam Boswell.

‘Henry’s odds have narrowed considerably from his initial 25/1 at the start of the series, and now he is the new favorite to win at 11/8.

‘His bromance with Jordan has been a key feature throughout the series as the pair were inseparable, but now he’s being supported to go all the way!’

Casino.win also predicts the Cotswolds native is a favorite to win – with odds of 3/1 to take victory.

Bookmakers say controversial contestant Olivia has risen to third favorite to take the prize, with the odds of her taking the crown reduced from 20/1 to 9/4.

Commenting on the former frontrunner’s fall from pole position, BetVictor’s spokesperson commented: ‘Yinrun has been the favorite to win since day one, but now Henry has knocked her off the top spot.

‘Last week she was 6/4, but her chances have dropped slightly, and now she’s at 11/4.’

But the former fan favorite isn’t the only contestant whose chances of being declared the winner are diminishing.

“Jordan was second favorite to win a few weeks ago, at 3/1, but recently,” Boswell added.

‘He is proving unpopular with punters and has fallen significantly to 10/1. He will be evicted tonight along with Jenkin and Tom. Can he survive?’

These predictions come after a dramatic penultimate eviction that saw popular housemate Trish leave the competition.

But shortly after her shock departure from the house, the housemate’s old “racist and homophobic” social media posts resurfaced.

A flood of old tweets exposed the 33-year-old stay-at-home mom for making homophobic, racist and ableist statements.

The reason for an investigation into the matter, said a spokesperson for Big Brother The sun: ‘This weekend we were informed about historical tweets.

‘We are currently investigating why they have not been identified by the independent supplier we engage to assess the digital footprint of potential Housemates as part of our pre-checks.’

MailOnline has since approached ITV for comment.

Trish has since spoken out about the scandal on the morning of November 12.

In a written apology on Twitter, the former Big Brother contestant wrote: “I am aware that some very disturbing old tweets of mine have resurfaced, and I would like to sincerely apologize for the harmful stereotypes I have perpetuated and the pain I suffered. have caused to the aforementioned marginalized communities and groups of people.

“There are no excuses for the ignorance I have shown and I am deeply disappointed, embarrassed and ashamed that I ever made such comments.

“I have come a very long way since then in educating myself and others about the impact and harm these views cause.”

Viewers were particularly caught off guard by Trish’s old tweets, as she had previously accused other contestants of microaggressions while on the show.

The 33-year-old continued her apology, saying, “It’s part of why I’m so passionate about standing up for others and holding myself to a high standard of responsibility and accountability for my actions.

“I appreciate the support you all gave me during the show and I understand your disappointment.”
