Stephen Bear set to win Celebrity Big Brother with Ricky Norwood coming second
Bookies give their odds ahead of Friday's final
STEPHEN Bear has been one of the most controversial characters on the show, but it seems his shocking antics could see him crowned the latest Celebrity Big Brother winner.
And according to bookies, EastEnders actor Ricky Norwood will follow in second place.
Bookmakers William Hill have given the Ex On The Beach star favourable odds of 4/5.
But surprisingly Ricky, best known as Arthur ‘Fatboy’ Chubb in the BBC soap, could catch up to Bear with odds of 13/8.
William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said: "It is a two horse race and Stephen has already got a significant lead."
So far Bear has managed to fall out with the majority of his housemates, most notably Mob Wives star Renee Graziano and singer Aubrey O'Day.
As a contrast, Ricky has been one of the quieter tenants of the CBB house this year, making pals with the group and always on hand to dish out advice.
Bucking the trend of former Geordie Shore stars winning the show, according to William Hill Marnie Simpson will have to settle for third place with odds of 6/1.
Her MTV associates Scotty T and Charlotte Crosby both won the series they took part in.
Renee has been given 20/1 odds, while both Aubrey and Frankie Grande are unlikely to win the reality show with odds of 40/1.
The final takes place on Friday, live on Channel 5.
