After the recent argument when things got heated in the Celebrity Big Brother house, bookies think that Frankie Cocozza and Denise Welch came out of the furore a lot better than twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon and Nicola McLean.

After the siblings and the WAG attacked Denise for pulling down Karissa’s trousers, young Frankie defended the older woman, who sobbed under the glare of her fellow female housemates’ attention.

Sunsequently, Frankie has raced to the top of the betting with William Hill making him 11/8 favourite to win the show with Denise’s odds also being slashed from 12/1 to 6/1. Conversely, Nicola is the 4/6 favourite to be the first housemate to get the CBB boot on Wednesday evening, with Kristina and Karissa the 9/2 second favourites and Romeo 5/1.

“Frankie and Denise appeared to be victimised by the twins & Nicola as things got heated and while the former have had their odds slashed for victory, the latter appear destined to get the boot on Wednesday,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
