The child comedian Luke has left the house and there is a void to be filled. Whoever steps up and takes his starring role may be a good bet for this year’s BB title.

Luke was an early favourite when the show began, but he slowly became a hate figure for the viewers and once his ‘lady’, Becky, was kicked out, it was inevitable he would follow.

So who’s going to win Big Brother? Here are the Big Brother odds for Mikey, Kat, Darnell, Rex and Nicole, with help from Paddy Power…

Mikey: Well, he perhaps gets the sympathy vote here. Call it blind faith. People seem to have forgotten his God-awful, at times offensive, comedy routine – and his pepper spray sniping. At 11-4, Mikey maybe a good bet, but there is no cast-iron favourite here. The field is reasonably open. Big Brother betting odds - 11-4.

Kat: The annoying Teletubby is second favourite. ‘I want to be a mummy,’ she told Rachel this week. I pity that child then - having to grow up listing to that shrill noise all day long. You can back her at 3-1. Though why would you want to. Big Brother Betting odds - 3-1.

Darnell: He’s playing a decent game. He knows the balance between good and evil. He knows just how far he can push things without losing credibility. He can be a complete cock one minute and an albino angel the next. Clever, clever boy. Slap your cash on him at 10-3. You could spend it on worse. Big Brother betting odds - 10-3.

Rex: Surprisingly still a 4-1 punt. The shit-stirrer. His constant bullying of Rachel makes him feel the big man he wishes he was – a point made well by Lisa this week when she finally got fed up with the tosser. Put your money on the gastro-git at your peril. Big Brother Betting odds - 4-1.

Nicole: And now we have to put up with Rex’s ‘bird’, too. Oh joy. And isn’t she a bundle of laughs? She’s more annoying than Kat already – and didn’t Rex look so pleased to see her? He was little a stranded cat on a motorway as she burst out of the storeroom and bounded towards him like a juggernaut. Big Brother Betting odds - 33-1.

Lisa: She still has a chance. Surely she is the first person in Big Brother history to have walked out – only to have been let back in again. Big Brother Betting odds- 14-1.

Tomorrow: Big Brother betting odds for Dale, Stuart, Sara, Rachel and Mohamed. But if that’s too long to wait - or you feel like making more money than you know what to do with - head right over to Paddy Power to see the full list of Big Brother betting odds.
