Online Bookies William Hill have tipped a man to win this years Celebrity Big Brother 2006.

They believe this will happen as the majority of the voters for the show will be young females who can usually be trusted to vote for a man.

Spokesman Rupert Adams said: “The majority of people who vote for Big Brother contestants tend to be young female viewers, which automatically makes the male participants the favourites to win,� he said.

“But before you put your mortgage on the best-looking housemate, remember Bez. I rest my case.�

A man is likely to win at odds of 4-6, based on previous predictions, spokesman Rupert Adams added.

Odds are also 1-2 that at least one contestant will walk off the show early, which begins on Thursday.
