With Frankie Dettori retiring at the end of this flat racing season, the SportsLens odds compilers have been busy pricing up just what the pocket Italian jockey might do next – with a stint in the I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here jungle one of the betting favourites.

  • Dettori just 5/4 to be heading Down Under to the I’m A Celebrity Jungle
  • Popular jockey 9/1 to swap the riding boots for the TV hosting duties
  • Hail ‘Sir Frankie’ at 5/1 for possible New Year’s Honours award

Frankie Dettori Specials: 5/4 To Be Eating Kangaroo Testicles

  • 3/1 – To become a regular horse racing analyst on TV
  • 5/1 – To be given a knighthood in new years honours
  • 9/1 – To become a host of a TV show

    To appear on next series of
    :
  • 5/4 – I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here
  • 4/1 – Celebrity Bake Off
  • 7/1 – Dancing on Ice

SportsLens Head of News Lee Astley, said:Frankie Dettori has carried the sport of horse racing on his shoulders for the last 35 years, but with the 52 year-old announcing at the end of last season that this year would be his last in the saddle – it will be interesting to see what’s the next chapter for the popular Italian jockey.”

“With Frankie’s last ride rumoured to be in the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday 7th November, then could Dettori stay Down Under for a stint eating Kangaroo testicles covered in Italian pasta sauce with Ant and Dec for the latest series of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here?”

“Our Sportlens odds compliers seem to think there’s a strong chance we could be seeing Frankie in the Aussie jungle, with the show always aired towards the end of November and, therefore, after Dettori’s expected retirement date.”

“We could also be hailing ‘Sir Frankie’ if the 5/1 odds on Dettori, who already has an MBE to his name, getting knighted in the New Year’s Honours List are right. While being a natural in front of the camera – maybe a career as a TV host like his fellow countryman Gino D’Acampo is on the horizon.”
