Data collated from a supercomputer has revealed that Coleen Rooney is the most likely contestant to win this year’s edition of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! following the start of the new series yesterday.
Heart Bingo used artificial intelligence to provide eight measurable criteria contestants should meet in order to maximise their chances of winning the show, namely public appeal and fanbase, personality and likeability, ability to handle challenges, drama and conflict, resilience and adaptability, public opinion and media coverage, group dynamics, and strategic game play.
After applying these factors to the latest crop of contestants to brave the jungle, Rooney – married to former England footballer, Wayne Rooney – fulfilled the criteria to the greatest extent, ahead of Strictly Come Dancing judge Oti Mabuse and Love Island star Maura Higgins, completing an all-female top three.
McFly’s Danny Jones, the current bookmakers’ favourite, is predicted to be the longest-surviving male, finishing in fourth ahead of Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall and radio DJ and TV presenter Melvin Odoom, who are predicted to finish fifth and sixth respectively.
The picture looks significantly bleaker for BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough, who is predicted to be the first campmate evicted and to finish last, with Jane Moore, Richard Coles, Tulisa, GK Barry and Barry McGuigan all also backed for early exits from the jungle.
Christopher Wilkie, Digital Marketing Manager for Heart Bingo, said: “With this year’s I’m A Celeb now up and running, the battle to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle is on and our supercomputer has predicted that Coleen Rooney will be the next star to sit on the jungle throne.
“According to our AI analysis, Rooney’s blend of fame, resilience, and strong media appeal positions her as the top contender to win this year’s series, ahead of Oti Mabuse and Maura Higgins.
“Danny Jones is the leading hope for the male campmates along with Coronation Street star Alan Halsall, both of whom have been predicted to finish in the top five.
“The supercomputer certainly didn’t take a liking to Dean McCullough’s profile though, as he is predicted to be the first to leave the jungle, closely followed by the two Barry’s, McGuigan and GK!”
