Based on an in-depth analysis of traits from previous winners, a new study has emerged, suggesting that Coronation Street star Alan Halsall holds the highest potential to claim the coveted I’m a Celeb crown.

Uncover the Secrets to I’m a Celeb Victory with Alan Halsall

Age and Gender Dynamics

Out of the previous 23 series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, a significant trend has been observed. Male contestants have accounted for 57% of the winners, while female contestants make up 43%. For instance, Sam Thompson in 2023 and Danny Miller in 2021 are among the male winners. This gender disparity shows that male contestants have a higher chance of reaching the pinnacle. Alan Halsall, at 42 years old, is close to the average age of 40 for former male winners.Furthermore, when it comes to the final three contestants, over three-fifths (61%) have been male, compared to only 39% being female. This same gender distribution is often reflected in the runners-up as well. Reality TV star Mark Wright in 2011 and Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas in 2017 both placed second. Male contestants are even more likely to come third, with 65% of third-place contestants being male, while 35% are female. The Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge beat these odds in 2021, and TV personality Ferne McCann did the same in 2015.

Profession and Success

Acting emerges as the most common profession among I’m a Celebrity winners, with 22% having worked in the industry. Alan Halsall, being an actor from Coronation Street, fits this pattern. Over a fifth (22%) of winners have been actors, and a further 17% have been reality TV stars. This indicates that those in the entertainment industry have a strong showing. Musicians and reality TV stars rank joint second, both at 17%, boosting the chances of McFly singer Danny Jones and former Love Island contestant Maura Higgins. Former boxer Barry McGuigan also stands a fair chance based on past success, as a sportsperson has won 13% of the previous 23 series.The study shows that the voters seem to have a preference for stars they are familiar with seeing on their TV screens. Actors, musicians, and reality TV stars have all proven to be the most successful. If this pattern continues, Alan Halsall, with his acting background and on-screen presence, is in a prime position to win.A spokesperson for the study commented, “Based on the characteristics of former winners, Coronation Street star Alan Halsall is our most likely pick to take home the crown. His calm and caring nature towards his fellow campmates has also resonated with fans online, which puts him in good stead for the final. The voters appear to be especially fond of stars who they are used to seeing on their TV screens, and these professions stand an even stronger chance if they are male, as the audience has favoured them in the past over female contestants. It’ll be interesting to see if this is the case again this year, or if an underdog captures the hearts of the nation.”
