Punters back Andre's Insania as a No 1 hit
From Ananova
Bookmakers have slashed the odds from 50/1 to 3/1 on Peter Andre scoring a
number one hit in 2004 with his Jungle-inspired song Insania.
Ladbrokes say there has been a flurry of bets on the tune, which has already
been developed as a mobile phone ring tone, following the I'm a Celebrity
final.
Ladbrokes spokesman Warren Lush said: "We initially dismissed the chances at
50/1 but weight of money has seen the odds shrink to just 3/1. Peter had a
sweat on when faced with a tank of cockroaches and spiders and now we're
sweating on a five figure loss."
Meanwhile, the bookmakers are offering odds of 4/1 on Kerry McFadden having
a UK number one single this year and 7/1 that she appears in an advert for
Currys in 2004.
Mr Lush said: "Kerry winning was a great result for us but number ones have
cost us a lot of money recently. First we had the gamble on Mad World at
Christmas and now everyone thinks Insania will be a hit. If Insania goes to
number one it really is a Mad World."
