AS the final three battle it out to be crowned king of the jungle, some believe that there is a clear winner ahead of the final.
Tony Bellew, Sam Thompson, and Nigel Farage are the last men standing after Josie Gibson was voted off.
Bookies have revealed that Sam has been the favourite to win since the second week of the show.
The former Made In Chelsea star has won viewers over with his positive attitude and hilarious one-liners.
“Sam Thompson has been the market favourite to win I’m A Celebrity since the beginning of the second week and remains the clear frontrunner going into tonight’s final,” a spokesperson for William Hill told The Sun.
“The Made in Chelsea star is just 4/11 to win the Jungle Crown tonight, giving him clear breathing space in the betting ahead of Nigel Farage (4/1) and Tony Bellew (9/2),” they added.
Sam was named by every single one of his campmates as their chosen winner, and this potential victory could be a huge career boost for the 31-year-old.
There is apparently a “bidding war” going on about who will work with him after I’m A Celebrity.
“They know Sam is a star,” a showbiz source has said.
“The big bosses are all keeping a very close eye on what he does next because they see him as the next big thing,” they added.
“The wonderful thing about Sam is he is just unapologetically himself and that’s what people love.
“He is set to become a very very rich man when he steps outside that jungle life.
“And not just him, his girlfriend Zara, is expected to do well too, with them seen as the new power couple.”
He has already announced plans to take Staying Relevant, his podcast with pal Pete Wicks, on tour next year, but TV companies will now be queuing to sign him up, with ITV reportedly eyeing a partnership with campmate Tony Bellew.
Sam and Strictly’s Zara McDermott, his girlfriend of four years whose own star is on the ascent, could also become TV’s latest power couple.
“Sam Thompson is THE stand out star of the jungle and I think he will be the big winner in career and money stakes, too,” brand and culture expert Nick Ede tells The Sun.
“His likeable nature, kindness and openness about his relationship and his ADHD have secured him a place in the hearts of the nation and he’s well on his way to national treasure status.
“I can see Sam and Zara becoming a power couple that the nation loves.
“Sam is the perfect package for TV and brands and he will be a multi-millionaire by the time he’s 35!”
It will be down to the viewers to vote for their favourite campmate out of the three remaining finalists.
During the final episode viewers will see the last standing contestants take on one more challenge — before being treated to a luxurious meal of their choosing.
After the votes have been counted Ant and Dec will crown the new King of the Jungle.
