LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - What the future holds for the Big Brother contestants has been predicted by bookmakers today.
They offer 100/1 that winner Anthony and his biggest fan, camp crimper Craig, will get hitched in the show's first gay weddding.
Much more likely, at evens, is that Orlaith, famed for baring her boobs at every opportunity, will become a presenter on a TV sex channel. Kinga, who shocked audiences while performing with a wine bottle, is 4/7 to do the same.
Other bets offered by Ladbrokes are 100/1 that cross-dresser Kemal will win the Eurovision Song Contest for the UK, 2/1 that nerdy Eugene will appear on Mastermind, and 33/1 that Makosi will be signed up by a bra manufacturer.
Posh Tory Derek is 25/1 to be signed up as Tony Blair's youth Tsar, rapper Science is 1000/1 to perform on Eminem's next record, and pretty brunette Sam is a red-hot 1/2 to date Calum Best6/1.
Craig is 100/1 to cut Sienna Miller and Jude Law's wedding day hair, while Anthony is 1000/1 to sign for Newcastle FC.
Ladbrokes spokesman Warren Lush said:
"Despite the fact that they failed to reach the final night in the house, Sam and Orlaith look best set to exploit their post Big Brother fame.
"The most likely scenario is Sam dating Calum Best which is odds-on at 1/2. There's a 50/50 chance that Orlaith goes the way of Michelle Bass and presents on a sex tv channel, while we have little doubt that Sam will fall into the void left by Rebecca Loos and get down and dirty with Calum."
"Orlaith is evens to present porn but Kinga is odds-on at 4/7 - we suspect it is not the last time that the non mainstream audience will hear about the wine bottle.
"The chances of Craig and Anthony living happily ever after are remote at 100/1.
"We only offer 25/1 that Derek is signed up as a youth tsar by the government. You certainly can't rule it out when we know that the Prime Minister has been on Richard and Judy and has commented on Deirdre being imprisoned on Coronation Street.
"What are the odds of all of them going back into obscurity and none of this to happen? We won't take bets on the housemates' five minutes of fame being over as we're not in the business of giving away money."
