When it comes to rumours there’s usually no smoke without fire which is probably why Paddy Power have paid out on the world’s hottest celebrity couple splitting up! The cheeky bookie paid out over €1,400 to punters who had a flutter on Brangelina splitting this year after rumours of a rift spread like wildfire at the weekend! Since then, friends close to the star couple have rubbished the revelations but Paddy Power are confident in their decision to cough up.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said: "When it comes to celebrity rumours, there usually is no smoke without fire. The fact Brangelina missed The Golden Globes only added more fuel to the fire that their relationship is on the rocks. "And nobody has forgotten those 2006 pictures of Jen and Brad looking all loved up just one day before announcing their own split!.

For those punters who agree that it’s now a question of when and not if bookies Paddy Power are quoting odds on when the pair will come clean and admit it’s all over. July of this year or later is the most likely outcome at 2/1 while it’s just 7/2 they admit the show’s over next month. As for who will next be linked with one of the world’s sexiest men – Transformers star Megan Fox is 8/1 to be his next love interest, but it’s Jennifer Aniston, Brad’s first wife who is the 1/2 odds-on favourite to be back in Brad’s arms before the year is out!
