Coral bookmakers reckon that Coronation Street star Hayley Tamaddon is so far ahead of her Dancing on Ice rivals that they have decided to bet on who will finish second to her, and make The Bill star Gary Lucy the 13-8 favourite.

Hayley scored a maximum 30 last weekend and was shortened to 1-6 (from 1-2), and just seems to be getting better each week, so much so that the others now look like they are skating for second place.

"After scoring the highest marks every week we feel there is no one in a position to challenge her, the fight for second place is more competitive", said Coral spokesman Gary Burton. "Incredibly we laid Hayley at 8-1 at the start, and she will cost us a large pay out."”

Former fancy and second favourite Danniella Westbrook has struggled in previous weeks and is the 6-4 favourite to be the next celebrity voted out, Kieron Richardson is next in the betting at 2-1.
