Comedian Jenny Eclair is the favourite to be evicted from BBC One's Celebrity Fame Academy house on Wednesday.
Eclair is 5/6 favourite to leave, followed by fellow comics John Culshaw at 7/2 and Gina Yashere at 4/1, bookmaker William Hill said.
Twelve stars remain in the BBC talent show in aid of Comic Relief after comic Al Murray was voted off on Saturday.
"My bet would be on either Jenny or Gina who were truly awful," said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.

"In the past punters have been able to clean up by betting on the evictions of reality TV shows but this time around it could be one of a handful who have almost no singing ability at all."
Contestants are being trained to sing and face regular public eviction votes in the run-up to the final on charity Comic Relief's Red Nose Day on 11 March.
EastEnders star Kim Medcalf and Coronation Street's Debra Stephenson are joint favourites to win the show.
Others taking part include Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq, BBC Radio 1 DJ Edith Bowman and Monarch of the Glen actress Dawn Steele.
