Twins Sam and Amanda Marchant, 19, who count as one person in the vote, are the red hot 1-6 favourites to pocket the £100,000 winner's cheque.

Some bookmakers have already begun paying out to viewers who voted for the dizzy, inseparable pair from Newcastle-under-Lyme.

But Essex boy Brian Belo, a 20-year-old data clerk who told the housemates he had no idea who Shakespeare was, is also a strong contender.

The series is the UK's least popular since it began in 2000, with an average of 3.8 million viewers compared to the previous low of 4.5 million for Big Brother six.

But bookmakers have predicted over £1 million will be wagered in the final 24 hours of show betting, making it the first time a reality TV show has broken the seven-figure mark in a day.

Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg said: Despite the show's problems its still a firm favourite with punters.

"We always see a flurry of late bets. This time around were expecting things to go into overdrive."

Others still in the house after 13 weeks are activist Carole Vincent, 53, former boyband member Ziggy Lichman, 26, tree surgeon Liam McGough, 23, and museum visitor assistant Jonty Stern, 36.

Three of the housemates will leave in the first of tonight's Channel 4 shows, and the remainder in the second.
