Courtney Act is proving popular after joining Celebrity Big Brother 2018.

The drag alter-ego of Shane Jenek made quite the entrance during last Friday night's live show.

Now bookies make Courtney/Shane one of the favourites to win the series, as early frontrunner Maggie Oliver fades.

However, strange as it may seem, Dapper Laughs, remains the current favourite to win as things stand today.

The Boys have well and truly taken over the Celebrity Big Brother house as they begin to garner all the support from punters over the original housemates, the Girls.

Shane Jenek, aka Courtney Act, is the new second favourite as his odds were cut into 9/2 from 8/1. Another Shane has also shortened for the CBB title, Shane Lynch, from Boyzone, as his odds were cut to 11/2 from 6/1.

Maggie Oliver, who was the early 3/1 favourite to win, has felt the sting of the male housemates entering the house as she now joins Shane at 11/2.

Aoife Heffron, Spokeswoman for BoyleSports commented: “It has only been two days since the men entered the Big Brother house and they have already stolen the limelight.

"Dapper Laughs was quickly made the 9/4 favourite on Saturday following a string of bets but as the dust settled on Sunday he drifted out to 4/1.”

She added “The biggest mover and one to watch is Courtney Act, aka Shane J. Having been initially priced at 16/1, the RuPaul’s Drag Race star’s odds quickly shortened to 8/1, however on Sunday things kicked up a notch and as he now poses a large liability, traders made him the new 9/2 second favourite. Making it a very early two horse race!”
