Sometimes a reality show finale leaves viewers buzzing long after the credits roll, and that’s exactly what happened when this year’s I’m A Celebrity wrapped up.
The audience response was huge, but even more surprising were the voting numbers that poured in, showing just how far ahead the winner truly was.
How the Final Three Shaped Up
The closing episode crowned Twitch creator AngryGinge, 24, as the new King of the Jungle, outpacing Tom Read Wilson and actress Shona McGarty.
Once the figures were released, it became clear that the gap between the finalists was much wider than anyone expected.
Shona, 34, was the first to exit with 22% of public support, Tom followed with 25%, and Ginge soared ahead with 53%, setting the tone for a landslide victory.
The Last Showdown
When only Ginge and Tom remained, the difference became even more striking.
In the final vote, Ginge secured 65%, while Tom finished with 35%.
Viewers were clearly invested—over 13 million votes were cast, marking the highest total the ITV series has seen in at least ten years.
A Reaction Filled With Emotion
Still catching his breath, Ginge told hosts Ant and Dec that he was overwhelmed, describing the win as a dream he never thought he could achieve.
He thanked supporters with genuine surprise, admitting he never expected to make it to the end, let alone take the crown.
Crowned by Last Year’s Winner
Morgan Burtwistle—better known to the world as AngryGinge—received his crown from last year’s champion, Danny Jones of McFly.
Reflecting on the experience, he shared how much tougher the jungle life was compared to what he’d imagined as a fan.
Although he sought advice from previous contestants, no one fully prepared him for the intensity of the challenges.
He confessed that he found a new level of mental endurance in himself, even on days when quitting felt tempting.
For him, the goal wasn’t winning—it was pushing his limits.
Looking Toward Big Opportunities
Now that he’s emerged victorious, Ginge is already being linked to promising television prospects.
One of the most talked-about possibilities is a joint venture with fellow Mancunian and rapper Aitch, a close friend he bonded and joked with throughout the show.
Their effortless chemistry made them one of the standout pairings of the season.
Why Producers Are Paying Attention
Industry chatter is growing louder, with entertainment insiders suggesting that TV bosses are already plotting how to secure the duo.
Celebrity expert Kayley Cornelius says producers see major potential, adding that their easy banter and natural partnership could translate perfectly to mainstream TV.
For Ginge personally, expanding beyond online content seems like a natural progression.
With his online success already at its peak, stepping into television may be exactly what keeps his career moving forward.
The Hidden Cost of His Jungle Journey
Behind the scenes, the win came with financial sacrifice.
Sources close to him revealed that taking five weeks away from streaming and skipping lucrative festive brand deals cost him a significant sum.
According to insiders, he lost hundreds of thousands of pounds but chose to participate anyway, motivated in part by making his mother proud.
