Bono and Bob Geldof are hotly tipped by bookmakers to scoop the Nobel Peace Prize next month.

When the nominees were announced two months ago both were 66-1 to win the award. However, as the BBC reports, bookies are now touting them at 7-1.

Both stars are tipped to win the award because of their campaigning to end third world debt and their outspoken political reviews.
