Actor losing support from public and punters

Former footballer and Hollywood actor Vinnie Jones is losing favour with punters following a series of spats in the Celebrity Big Brother house, which have seen him lose popularity with his fellow housemates.

Jones was previously as short as 1/2 with Coral to win the reality show, but after a string of fall outs, and the threat of legal action in the last 24 hours, he has seen his odds drift to even-money, and the bookmakers think that his price will continue to rise in the coming days.

Coral spokeman Gary Burton told bettingpro:

“Vinnie has played it very cool, and we were that confident that he was going to win that we started betting on who would finish second, so it’s a huge surprise to see the big man getting wound up when the end is only a week away,”

Vinnie’s fellow actor Stephen Baldwin was unsurprisingly evicted on Friday night, along with Sisqo, whose eviction immediately after the born again Christian was the night’s shock.
