Sometimes a single moment on TV can completely change a person’s life, and that seems to be exactly what’s happening with AngryGinge.
What started as a fun leap into the jungle has quickly turned into a career-defining whirlwind, with attention pouring in from every corner of the entertainment world.
From Streamer to Standout Star
Morgan Burtwistle—better known online as AngryGinge—has become one of the unexpected highlights of this year’s I’m A Celebrity.
His cheeky humour, chaotic Bushtucker trial moments, and warm friendship with comedy legend Ruby Wax have earned him massive affection from viewers.
Fans also can’t get enough of his back-and-forth jokes with rapper Aitch, which have become a running thread of the season.
A Massive Boost in Online Fame
Since stepping into the jungle, the 24-year-old has seen his online following explode.
His Twitch audience has surged past 1.4 million, and his YouTube subscribers are closing in on one million.
It’s clear that his quick wit and relatable nature have struck a chord far beyond the campsite.
Offers Pouring In Behind the Scenes
Reports suggest his management team has been flooded with proposals—from TV producers to big retailers and even book publishers.
The moment he appeared on screen, major companies apparently rushed to get his name on contracts.
One insider shared that brands immediately recognised he wasn’t just another viral creator but someone who genuinely resonates with everyday people—exactly the kind of voice companies struggle to reach.
Retail Giants Eye His Authentic Appeal
His down-to-earth personality and unfiltered humour are said to be major selling points for global retailers looking to reshape their image.
For many of them, he represents the kind of authenticity that can’t be manufactured.
They reportedly see him as someone capable of reaching audiences traditional campaigns often miss.
Broadcasters Prepare Their Pitches
Behind closed doors, broadcasters like ITV, BBC, and Channel 4 are believed to be gearing up to approach him the moment he leaves the show.
They’re convinced his warm, funny, real-life energy could make him a regular face on mainstream TV—whether through edgy entertainment shows, light-hearted factual series, or even fronting major campaigns.
A Book Deal Could Be on the Horizon
Publishing houses, too, are reportedly circling.
With a story that spans from bedroom streamer to national favourite, many believe a memoir or personal project from him would be an instant hit.
He’s become the kind of relatable success story readers love.
Strong Support Inside and Outside the Jungle
As it stands, bookmakers currently place AngryGinge as the frontrunner to win King of the Jungle, though Aitch is still in close contention.
Meanwhile, a number of high-profile names—from footballer Chloe Kelly to Strictly’s George Clarke, along with online titans like KSI and Niko Omilana—have openly backed him to go the distance.
More Challenges Ahead in Camp
Tonight’s episode is set to feature his third Bushtucker trial, titled Terror Flying Tours, adding yet another chaotic challenge to his growing highlight reel.
It’s also been reported that he’s among the highest-paid contestants this season, with a rumoured paycheck of around £100,000.
The Secret Codename Behind the Scenes
ITV is known for giving campmates undercover codenames to keep the cast under wraps before the official announcement, and AngryGinge was no exception.
His alias—Spicy—was chosen as a playful nod to both his bright red hair and, of course, the ginger spice.
A source mentioned that producers have a habit of choosing clever references each year, and Ginge’s nickname was picked because he’s seen as the special ingredient set to liven up the season.
