Love Island Betting: All of the latest odds as 11 sexy singletons enter the villa
It’s that time of year again. Forget the Euros, as of tonight the nation will turn their attention towards Love Island (at least when the football has finished) as 11 sexy singletons enter the villa, each hoping to find true love… or win £50,000.
The hit ITV show will once again have the nation transfixed for the next two months, as the contestants battle it out and attempt to form meaningful connections with one another, or put themselves in the shop window for an array of sponsorship deals with teeth whitening companies and fast fashion brands alike when they come out.
The show took a break last summer due to Covid, with a winter edition held in South Africa serving as the only fix for Love Island addicts nationwide. The winners of that series were former MK Dons defender Finley Tapp and singer Paige Turley, while the last couple to win the summer edition of the show in 2019 was Amber Gill and Ireland 7s Rugby international Gregg O’Shea.
The line-up for this year’s hugely anticipated helping were released last Tuesday, featuring the show’s first ever disabled contestant, Hugo Hammond, who was born with clubfoot and has represented England’s Physical Disability cricket team all over the world.
The PE teacher from Hampshire enters the competition as second-favourite in the ‘Top Male’ betting, priced at 3/1. The only person shorter in the market than Hammond is 26-year-old labourer Brad McClelland, priced at 5/2, while semi-professional footballer Toby Aromolaran follows up at 4/1.
For the girls, Scottish model Shannon Singh is joint-favourite to finish the series as ‘Top Female’ alongside Essex-based fashion blogger Kaz Kamwi (both 3/1). Civil servant Sharon Gaffka, from Oxford, is third-favourite in the market at 4/1, while Chloe Burrows is an 8/1 outsider at this stage - most likely due to her comments about sleeping with married men in her introductory video last week.
It’s pretty much impossible to say who will win this year’s competition, with new contestants joining on a weekly basis and people dropping out due to voting from the public. However, at least one person in the winning couple of each series since the show restarted in 2015 was present from the outset, with three of the six winning couples featuring an original female alongside a male introduced later on in the series.
