Answer by Elizabeth
If someone is hotly tipped to do or win something, it means people in the know think he will do it/win it.
hotly – popularly.
tipped – like in horse racing when one horse is favoured over another to win and is tipped to win.
popularly favoured, example:
Bono and Bob Geldof were hotly tipped by bookmakers to scoop the Nobel Peace Prize.
