Nick Knowles’ Christmas number one odds slashed to 16/1

The latest Christmas number one odds are in, and Nick Knowles is now amongst the dark horses to be top of the tree this festive season.

The TV presenter-turned-singer is now on our screens with I’m A Celeb. And his trip into the Jungle has done his odds some good, with Knowles now just 16/1 to get to number one for Christmas.

To give that some context, he’s now the same odds as each of Mariah Carey, Michael Buble and Post Malone.

As for the likes of Adele (25/1) and The Pogues (50/1), they’re trailing in the DIY SOS presenter’s wake.

Ariana Grande still heads the betting at 2/1, followed by Elton John at 6/1.

Meanwhile, at 8/1 there’s a trio of Clean Bandit, Dalton Harris and Lady Gaga.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “He hardly has the voice of an angel, but this is a man who’s shared a stage with Biffy Clyro and punters clearly think he’s capable of getting this Christmas’ top spot.”
