Big Brother contestant Sam Evans, a 23-year-old partially deaf Welsh footballer, has been named the early favourite to win after the first show of this year's double launch last night (June 13).
But with a good three months or so still to come and six more housemates going in tonight, should we even bother listening to the bookmakers? Intrigued, Digital Spy went back over the last five years of Big Brother to see how the launch night odds matched up with the eventual results of the series - and found some surprising results...

Congratulations bookmakers, last year you got it spot on by naming eventual winner Luke Anderson as the early favourite. But don't go slapping yourselves on the back too soon - reports claimed that the South African-born chef was an outsider at 16/1 before the game-changing revelation that he was born a woman.
