Northumberland lad Brad McLelland, who bookmakers Coral made one of the joint-second favourites to win at 3-1 before the show was first aired last night (Monday), was coupled with Faye Winter, a 5-1 bet from the outset. Those first impressions made a big impact and propelled the former Amble high school pupil Brad into pole position. Here are Coral’s latest odds – from outsider to favourite, or ‘not’ to ‘hot’:
