I'm a Celeb: Alan offers Coleen a role on Coronation Street
Coleen Rooney has seen the gap close between her and other campmates as they all vie to win this year's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here.
Coleen has been one of the favourites since the show began although McFly's Danny Jones has consistently topped the odds from day one. Coleen has now managed to close the gap between her and Danny with him sitting at 11/8 to go all the way while Coleen is at 13/8, according to betting giants Ladbrokes.
However, dark horse Richard Coles is creeping up on her and is now at 4/1 to take home the crown. He is the only other contestant with a price shorter than 20/1.
DJ Melvin Odoom seems almost certain to be the next celebrity eliminated with current odds of 200/1. Meanwhile, retired boxer Barry McGuigan and Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse are both at 66/1.
Loose Women's GK Barry is at 28/1, while Coronation Street star Alan Halsall is currently at 25/1. Rounding off the betting is Love Island's Maura Higgins, who has odds of 20/1.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "The race for this year's jungle crown is well and truly open, with Coleen and Richard firmly putting themselves alongside long-time favourite, Danny over the last few days."
This latest development comes after Coleen and Alan Halsall aced their latest I'm A Celebrity Bushtucker Trial 'The Farmyard of Fear', clinching all 10 stars for camp with a full minute to spare.
However, the pair decided to play a prank on their campmates and pretend they had only managed to secure two stars, and by default, two meals for camp.
Liverpudlian Coleen told Alan: "I'll do my best acting skills, you can mark me out of 10!"

She proved so convincing during their deception that Alan quipped: "I'll be getting you a job in Coronation Street before you know it!"
This led fans to swarm to social media demanding she get a role in the long running ITV soap opera. A cheeky remark read: "WAGATHA CHRISTIE TO WORK ALONG SIDE DS LISA SWAIN IN WEATHERFIELD POLICE STATION. As she replaces Kit Green and his incompetence, the street is most definitely a lot safer with Wagatha joining the police team."
Another fan praised the mother-of-four's sleuthing abilities, stating: "Coleen ain't only a good detective she can also put on act, imagine if she went in corrie they'd never be another serial killer again #ImACeleb."
