Love Island odds: Joey Essex the favourite to win
Published:
Reality TV star Joey Essex has been installed as the favourite with Ladbrokes to win Love Island.
Following his surprise arrival at the end of the first episode earlier this week, the bookies now make the reality TV star just 19/10 to be crowned king of the villa later this summer, putting him ahead of Ronnie (3/1) and former favourite, Ciaran (4/1).
And having picked Samantha, the bookies now make her 4/1 joint-favourite to finish as Top Girl, alongside Mimii, while Harriett and Nicole are 5/1 apiece, ahead of Jess and Patsy (both 6/1).

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Joey's already ruffled a few feathers and got tongues wagging, and the odds suggest the TOWIE star could be in it for the long haul."
