Edna Krabappel favourite to be killed off The Simpsons

Coral bookmaker has installed Edna Krabappel as the 5-1 favourite to be killed off The Simpsons in the 25^th series, after it was revealed that the cartoon will bid farewell to a major character. The future of Sideshow Bob also looks uncertain and Coral go 6-1 that Krusty the Clown’s sidekick bites the dust, whilst Comic Book Guy is 7-1 to get the chop.

Other characters tipped to get axed include Barney Gumble and Police Chief Wiggum at 8-1 and 16-1 respectively, while it’s unlikely that Homer or Marge are killed off at 100-1.

“Punters are queuing up to bet on which Simpsons character dies in the latest series, and so far we have been inundated with bets on Bart’s long-suffering teacher Edna Krabappel being the latest victim”, commented Coral’s Nicola McGeady.

“It’s not often that a character from The Simpsons is killed off, so we expect to see plenty of speculation and floods of money on this market”, she added.

**Which major Simpsons character will die next?

5-1 Edna Krabappel, 6-1 Sideshow Bob, 6-1 Krusty the Clown, 6-1 Abe Simpson, 7-1 Comic Book Guy, 8-1 Moe Szyslak, 8-1 Barney Gumble, 12-1 Principle Skinner, 12-1 Apu, 14-1 Groundskeeper Willie, 16-1 Chief Wiggum, 16-1 Ned Flanders, 100-1 Homer Simpson, 100-1 Marge Simpson, 100-1 Bart Simpson.
