The final curtain is about to fall on Celebrity Big Brother 2025, and with just days to go, the buzz is reaching fever pitch. After a season packed with surprises, drama, and the most diverse cast the show’s seen in years, one name is beginning to rise above the rest—Danny Beard.
Since the show’s explosive launch on April 7, the house has seen its fair share of headline-makers: Oscar-nominated actor Mickey Rourke, trailblazing talk show host Trisha Goddard, and flamboyant former MP Michael Fabricant all brought their unique chaos—and were swiftly shown the door.
And now, after last night’s unprecedented triple eviction, which saw Angellica Bell, Ella Rae Wise, and Patsy Palmer ousted in one fell swoop, just five celebrities remain. But who has the public in their corner?
According to the latest odds from Fruity King, all signs point to Danny Beard as the one to beat. The Drag Race UK winner turned CBB standout is currently the bookies’ favorite at 5/4 odds to win. Danny’s charisma, authenticity, and unfiltered wit have clearly struck a chord with viewers—and perhaps more importantly, they’ve stayed out of the major feuds plaguing the house.
Nipping at Danny’s heels is Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd. Having survived two public votes and constantly proving his popularity, Jack currently holds 2/1 odds and leads in Entertainment Daily’s own reader poll with a whopping 38% of the votes.
JoJo Siwa is still holding strong at 4/1, bringing her high-energy brand of positivity to the house, though some fans feel she’s flown under the radar lately. Unfortunately for JoJo’s BFF in the house, Love Island’s Chris Hughes, the fall from grace has been swift. Once considered a front-runner, Chris now shares the 12/1 underdog odds with quirky comedian Donna Preston.
And then there’s poor Chesney Hawkes—the one and only chart-topper is languishing at the bottom with 25/1 odds and minimal public support. Despite his nostalgic appeal, Chesney just hasn’t generated enough momentum to be taken seriously as a contender.
