I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! fans have already seemed to have found their winner as it looks as if This Morning presenter Josie Gibson will be crowned Queen of the Jungle.

Josie hasn't even entered the jungle yet she has received odds of 11/4 outright to win the 2023 seires.

Sam Boswell, spokesperson of BetVictor, has shared his insight on the I’m a Celebrity and said: "We couldn’t split the trio of Sam, Frankie, and Josie at the head of the betting and made them 4/1 co-favourites.

"But now Josie is leading the market on her own, coming in as our 11/4 favourite to be crowned Queen of the Jungle.

"The former Big Brother winner is hilarious on This Morning and never takes herself too seriously – I could see Josie making the final!”

Following closely behind Josie is former Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson with odds of 7/2 who is following his girlfriend Zara McDermott’s footsteps for ITV competition appearances.

Fred Siriex is third in the rankings with odds of 9/2, with his I'm A Celeb appearance coming off of the back of his road trip alongside Gordon Ramsay and Gino D'Acampo.

At the other end of the spectrum is Grace Dent and Nick Pickard with odds of 25/1 and Jamie-Lynn Spears with 35/1.

Sam added: "Our rank outsider is Britney Spears’ sister and actress Jamie-Lynn Spears at odds of 35/1. We don’t think she will be spending long in the jungle.”

Josie opened up about how she was feeling ahead of her jungle stint and said: "Now I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is fast approaching, it’s sinking in and I am feeling anxious.

"I keep thinking, ‘Sh*t, I am actually doing this’. I know I have taken on challenges for This Morning in the past but I don’t know if I’ve taken on too much here. It’s all becoming very real.”

She continued: "I am dreading the insects and it’s my biggest phobia. I also don’t like spiders and I freeze normally when I see one.

"My family thinks I am mad doing the programme too as they know what I’m like with creepy crawlies!”

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! returns Sunday, November 19 from 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
