Gold Logie winner Denyer is one of seven celebrities to have made it right to the end of the month-long stay in the Australian bush where they have been subjected to terrifying and tortuous challenges, all in the name of television and raising money for their selected charities.
And online betting agency Sportsbet likes his chances of taking the crown, rating him a $1.55 favourite for the title after he started the season as a $5 chance.
Unlike previous years, this season of IACGMOOH has been entirely pre-recorded so Denyer has been back home at Perthville for some weeks now with his wife Chezzi and two young daughters, remaining tight-lipped about the competition's final result.

Regardless of what happens on Sunday night, Denyer's time in the bush will be best remembered for the way he tackled the show's legendary Viper Room, a subterranean challenge where he survived 13 minutes in a darkened vault with 70 snakes.
Before starting the trial, Denyer admitted that since breaking his back in a monster truck crash in 2008 he has suffered from claustrophobia. He's also not too fond of snakes, so the combination of the two really was a nightmare for him.
As the trial continued the show's cameras captured Denyer gritting his teeth and drawing on memories of his daughters to help him through the ordeal.
During his time on IACGMOOH, Denyer has been raising awareness and finds for The Smith Family's Learning For Life program which, he said, gives people the opportunity to "sponsor a young Australian student".
The other celebrities still in the running on the show are former The Bachelor contestant Abbie Chatfield, comedian Ash Williams, chef Colin Fassnidge, TV and radio personality Jess Eva, actress and singer-songwriter Toni Pearen and former AFL footballer Travis Varcoe.
The final of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here goes to air at 7.30pm on Sunday on the WIN Network.
