CELEBRITY chef and Radlett local Gino D'Acampo is the red hot favourite to win this year's I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

The Italian TV chef, who owns a business in Radlett, is the bookies favourite to win Friday night's final with Ladbrokes offering 1/5 odds on Mr D'Acampo being crowned king of the jungle.

Coming in at second and third are snooker star Jimmy White at odds of 6/1 and TV personality Kim Woodburn at 10/1.

Only four celebrities remain in the running, after former ex Hollyoaks actor Stuart Manning, who played teacher Russ, was voted off on last night's show.

His departure leaves the Italian chef along with Justin Ryan, Jimmy White, and Kim Woodburn in the running to be crowned King or Queen of the jungle in Friday night's final.

The 33-year-old father-of-two, who owned the former Shenley Road delicatessen Delizie and currently runs the Italian food supplier Bontà Italia Ltd, in Theobold Street, is a regular chef on BBC's Ready Steady Cook and appears on ITV's This Morning every Tuesday to offer cooking tips.

He is currently one of the favourites to win the show - despite recent revelations that he spent two years in prison as a 21-year-old for burgling Paul Young's home in the Eighties.
