CELEBRITY FAME ACADEMY TO BE BATTLE OF THE SOAPS?

from readaBet.com:

With a runner from two of the major soaps, could Celebrity Fame Academy become a battle of the soaps? Bookmakers William Hill have installed Eastenders actress Kim Medcalf as the 9/4 early favourite to win Celebrity Fame Academy. Coronation Street's Debra Stephenson is the 10/3 second favourite. The writer and comedian Jenny Eclair is the 20/1 outsider.

"It is always very hard to price up this type of programme, but in this case it has been especially hard as we have not had a chance to hear the contestants sing. Therefore, it is possible that one of the contestants has a fantastic voice that we do not know about, so punters could get excellent early value. On Kim's website it proudly states that "Kim is a highly skilled singer specialising in jazz, rock and ballads. She has a mezzo-soprano voice." "So who are we to go against that." said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

Hill's latest outright betting: 9/4 Kim Medcalf, 10/3 Debra Stephenson, 7/1 Christopher Colquhoun, 9/1 Reggie Yates, 10/1 Nick Knowles, John Culshaw, Edith Bowman, Dawn Steele, Adrian Edmondson; 12/1 Al Murray, 14/1 Gina Yashere, 20/1 Jenny Eclair.



Anyone who had money on Al Murray's gonna be disappointed, he was first one voted off.
