Corrie actress Debra Stephenson, who plays desperate housewife Frankie Baldwin, has emerged as an early favourite to win Celebrity Fame Academy.

Debra is 2-1 to win the Beeb's charity contest, ahead of EastEnders' Sam Hunter (Kim Medcalf) who betting website Paddy Power has at 3-1.

Impressionist John Culshaw and Casualty's Christopher Colquhoun are tied at 6-1, while poor old TV presenter Nick Knowles is the outside bet at 14-1.

Adrian Edmondson has drawn first blood in the battle of the comics, coming in at 8-1 ahead of Pub Landlord Al Murray who Paddy Power has priced at 12-1.

The Beeb has signed a total of 12 celebrities to take part in the talent contest, as part of this year's Comic Relief.

Former Hollyoaks heartthrob Will Mellor won the first Celebrity Fame Academy, although the endearing memory for most viewers would have been the ear-battering performances of Ruby Wax.

Anyone good in this, i'm watching the footie

Been very entertaining so far

The wooden prsenter from TOTP is comming across as a knob and is my guess at first to go

She was abit of a warbler I much preferred Edith! Now she was really good!

So contradictory to her radio & TV career then

I was really surprised but she was brilliant ...

i must have been watching a different show to you

vote Debra Stephenson

Shes got lovely eyes and smile, that i know

I meant Edith BTW

missed the first half cos i was working, but of the ones i saw al murray was the best

Well I thought Edith was good Blagman, you were probably too busy looking at Debra howsyourfather in that top

Wayne Rooney was shite and lucky i thought

where on earth did they dig DUNE up from, not seen her on tv since the last FA



edit -- Milly i think you may be right

who's DUNE?
