Luke Anderson is the early favourite to win Big Brother according to bookies Ladbrokes.

Sixteen new Big Brother 2012 housemates entered the new look house during Tuesday’s live launch, hosted by Brian Dowling.

Welshman Luke entered the house a 16/1 chance but his odds were immediately slashed to 5/1 upon his revelation that he used to be a woman.

20 year-old student Lauren Carre is the current second favourite in the market at 6/1.

Model Aaron may have to rely on more than his washboard stomach and good looks as a 14/1 outsider. Lydia (4/5) is the favourite to be the first housemate to be evicted on Friday, with Victoria quoted at 11/10, however Conor looks safe at 7/1.

And with an ex-stripper, Playboy bunny and former Page 3 model among the housemates it’s just 6/4 that any of them get frisky in the house.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: “All the early money is suggesting Luke A will walk away as the winner.

“Ratings will rocket if this year’s controversial line-up get saucy with each other.”
