Russell Favourite To Re-Brand Xmas Message

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 15:14:32 +0000

Motor mouth Russell Brand today emerged as the front runner with bookies Paddy Power to deliver this year’s alternative Christmas message on Channel 4.

The notorious lothario, who earlier this month had a very public falling out with the BBC, after making crank phone calls to veteran actor Andrew Sachs, is the 10/11 favourite with the Irish bookmaker to address the nation on Christmas day.

Brand was initially entered at 4/1 into the betting but his odds were quickly slashed after a flurry of betting activity. The gamble is being attributed to Brands’ success with the second series of his Channel 4 show ‘Russell Brand’s Ponderland’ which is drawing more than 1 million viewers since it aired again on the 30^th October.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power, said: “When it comes to the ‘Alternative Christmas Message’ Channel 4 are renowned for creating controversy and let’s face it if it’s controversy they want they’ll definitely get it with Brand! Now that Russell’s ties with the BBC have been severed he could be the perfect choice.”

Channel 4 has broadcast an “Alternative Christmas message” since 1993. The speech is delivered in the manner of Her Majesty very often by a famous and sometimes controversial celebrity. Previous orators include Brigitte Bardo in 1995, Ali G in 1999, Sharon Osbourne in 2002 and Marge Simpson in 2004!Who will be chosen to deliver CH4’s alternative Xmas message?

David Beckham Favourite To Don A Quigg Wig

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:04:11 +0000

With ‘Vote for Eoghan’ Campaigns going on all over the country, and ‘Quiggy Wig’ hair cuts popping up in some of the more fashionable circles, the 16 year old Northern Ireland X-Factor hopeful’s popularity seems to be going from strength to strength.

Paddy Power make Eoghan their second favourite at 11/4 to win the competition, but due to demand the cheeky bookie has opened betting markets in relation to Eoghan’s other talents.

With Quigg’s hedgehog hair getting bigger and bolder each week, the cheeky Irish bookie is keeping an eye on what famous celebrities will follow in his footsteps and ask for a ‘Quiggy wig’ the next time they grace the barber’s chair. Partial to a few outlandish ‘dos’ himself, David Beckham is favourite at 3/1, followed by Eoghan’s mentor Simon Cowell at 16/1 and last year’s judge Sharon Osbourne at 18/1.

Paddy Power is also offering betting on who Eoghan Quigg will date first as rumours of a behind the scenes X-Factor romance continue to circulate. Included in the betting are mentors Dannii Minogue at 33/1 and Cheryl Cole at 20/1, but heading the betting at 1/8 is fellow contestant Diana Vickers.

Both Eoghan and Diana have said ”they’re just good friends”, but if the betting is anything to go by love could be lurking in the air.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power, said: “Forget David Beckham! With hundreds of young men queuing up at their local barbers to copy his style it’s obvious Eoghan is the new trend setter in town!”To Win X-Factor
