I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! winner, Angry Ginge, was met by his mum, Michelle, on the iconic bridge Down Under on Sunday and told us he went on the show to make her proud

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! champion, Angry Ginge, has taken a pop at his dad after being crowned King of the Jungle on Sunday.

The YouTuber, 24, real name Morgan Burtwistle, was met by his ecstatic mum, Michelle – who raised Ginge and his sister as a single parent – on the iconic bridge Down Under and later told the Mirror he’d gone on I’m A Celeb to make her proud. However, he had nothing to say about his estranged dad, but has now shared a post on Instagram, making his feelings clear.

The star joked his dad would be furious at seeing his success after leaving the family.

Over a clip of actor, Matthew McConaunghey sobbing in the film, Interstellar, as he watches his estranged daughter in a old video, a fan wrote: “Angry Ginge’s dad watching his past self walk out on his son, who would go on to win I’m A Celebrity.”

Commenting on the clip, Ginge replied: “HAHAHAHAHAHAH” before posting a shot of a huge plate of steak and chips as he enjoyed all his luxury hotel on the Gold Coast has to offer.

Ginge spoke candidly about his upbringing on a council estate in Manchester to the Mirror after leaving the jungle as he revealed that money was scarce.

Admitting he thought about quitting the I’m A Celeb, but stayed in because he wanted to impress his mum, he said: “I will never forget where I came from, and I think because I started literally from the bottom and watched everyone around me from my mates to their parents, my mum, everyone had to graft their way to get wherever it was.”

Money was tight and Ginge’s mum had to work several jobs to keep them afloat. Even so, when the star was 18, Michelle was forced to sell the family home and move somewhere cheaper. He moved in with his Nana round the corner to ease the pressure.

As a result, Ginge says his aim from the outset was to make his mum proud. He concluded: “She told me I’d done that…but then she also said: ’I was already proud of you…you didn’t need to go on the show to do that.”

With almost a million followers on YouTube and a whole host of big-money projects in no doubt in pipeline after his jungle success, the sky’s the limit for Ginge.

We also revealed how being on the show has actually cost him more than £100,000 in lost brand deals in the build up to Christmas.

A source said: “His fee for doing the show was nothing compared to the money he could have earned on the outside. But he just wanted to make his mum proud.”

AngryGinge has opened up about his down to earth first job before hitting the big time as a YouTube content creator.

The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner worked as a school “dinner lady” on £450 a month before shooting to fame as a streamer.

The content creator – who is said to have been paid £100,000 for his victorious jungle stint – is expected to make a fortune after triumphing on the ITV show, but he is determined not to forget his roots and former work at a primary school in Eccles, Greater Manchester.

Reflecting on his previous job, he told The Sun newspaper: “It was an hour-and-a-half every day, five days a week on, I think, minimum wage. I’d give my nan £200 for keep and I’d get £250 to try and live off. I did that from April 2020 to December 2020 and then I went full-time in streaming in January 2021.

“The one phrase I’ll always live my life by is, ‘Never forget where you came from’. I’ve been brought up to treat the CEO with the same respect as treating a janitor.

“I mean, we’re all the same at the end of the day, and why should you treat anyone differently?”

Ginge – whose real name is real name Morgan Burtwistle – now has more than five million followers across various social media platforms.

The star has admitted his childhood was “tough at times”, but he was a “very happy” kid.

He added: “It was tough at times, but I look back on it very happy. I think of the things I did … She [mum] would say, ‘Morgan, can you nip to the shop and put £10 on the electric so it doesn’t go off in the morning?’. Because every time the electric went, the house alarm would go off.

“I would beg my mum for a cinema ticket that was £9.95. I wouldn’t be able to get a pick ‘n’ mix to take in because it was so expensive. So we’d nip to Asda and get the ‘three for £1’ bags of sweets to sneak in.”

Ginge won 53 per cent of the I’m A Celebrity vote when it was down a final three.

Celebs Go Dating receptionist Tom Read Wilson had 25 per cent, followed by EastEnders star Shona McGarty with 22 per cent.

If you’re looking for something special to treat a loved one to this Christmas, then you can’t go wrong with a beautiful watch. And if you’re looking for something that’ll blow them away, then this latest deal from Debenhams is a winner.

The GV2 Milan Diamond-Set Luxury Watch is usually priced at an eye-watering £2995 according to Debenhams, but it’s currently got a huge 94% slashed off the price ahead of Christmas. That means you can snap it up for just £185.69 – saving you over £2.7k thanks to the retailers stacked deals, which are automatically applied.

Not only is the watch a bargain to buy right now, but it’s the perfect alternative to one of Cartier’s luxury Panthère De Cartier Watch , which costs £22,800. The Debenhams GV2 Milan Diamond-Set Luxury Watch has a similar shape and style, with a square face and metal bracelet strap.

You can also pick up similar styles from the likes of Sekonda, with the Classic Monica Ladies 22mm Quartz Watch currently on sale on Amazon for as little as £44.99 depending on which colourway you get. Alternatively, Abbott Lyon’s Essence Gold 23 Watch is £149 and has a more minimalist design, with a mother of pearl-style face.

The GV2 Milan Diamond-Set Luxury Watch, however, has diamonds embedded in the dial, with a diamond-cut bezel and sapphire crystal face. The strap is stainless steel that’s been ion-plated with yellow gold, and it features a deployment buckle that keeps it secure on your wrist.

It’s already gone down a storm with Debenhams shoppers, who’ve given it a solid five star rating. One said: “Great value Quality designed watch! Looks far more expensive than it is!”

A second wrote: “I’m very happy with my gevril watch. The quality is excellent, it feels solid on the wrist, and the design looks even better in real life. Definitely worth the purchase!”

Whilst another said: “Very nice watch, almost identical to Cartier, but i was surprised that it didnt come with extra bit of chain in case is small, I writed to debenhams, they replied to me, but i didnt have any answer from the actual watch retailer, is a bit upsetting… because is quite tight, but i want to keep it, in rest is a stunning watch.”

The sizing of the GV2 Milan Diamond-Set Luxury Watch was the only sticking point for some shoppers, although many found it a little on the big side. One said: “Great looking, high end watch. Not too big for my small wrist – once I had 3 links removed.”

Whilst another agreed: “Beautiful watch, a little too big for my wrist but easy enough to get taken in. Beautiful investment piece.”

You can, of course, get links removed from the metal strap, making it easy to tailor the GV2 Milan Diamond-Set Luxury Watch to fit your wrist perfectly.

Angry Ginge was crowned King of the Jungle after taking more than half of the vote during Sunday’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here final, beating Tom Read Wilson

In Angry Ginge’s hotel suite with gorgeous views over the Pacific Ocean, I’m sat opposite a slightly-bewildered looking King of the Jungle.

We are just a few hours after Ant and Dec announced his name to millions of viewers and I am not convinced it’s sunk in yet. There is understandably a look of a rabbit in the headlights about him.

Everyone who’s been in the Jungle say it’s difficult to re-adjust to normal life again. Particularly leaving the relative peace and quiet of camp..into a whirlwind of filming, interviews…and especially, other people.

Throw in the unexpected twist of his being crowned the winner and the whole thing can be …intense. But he puts in an admirable performance given he is a bit of a novice when it comes to the media.

Unflinchingly polite, intelligent and refreshingly honest, what you see is what you get. For a jaded showbiz hack like myself, it’s a breath of fresh air to meet someone in the public eye not touched by ego.

You can see why he proved so popular in camp: viewers loved the fact he is a normal bloke. I’ve met his lovely mum Michelle, and sister Tasha, on my trip to Australia, and it’s obvious where he gets it from.

I remember talking to Coleen Rooney ’s mum Colette in the jungle last year, who was just as humble. It’s no coincidence that Ginge – like Coleen – proved so popular. Viewers can pick up on these things.

It’s fascinating to be in Ginge’s orbit so soon after his victory. Around me are “specially requested” sweets, cans of sugar-free Red Bull …and packets of Pringles.

I notice his Celebrity crown is placed delicately on the table in front of me. Apparently he hasn’t taken it out of his sight. His manager, who is perched on a seat at the back of the room, is a really affable guy who was earlier on snack duties.

He said he had no worries putting Ginge onto one of the biggest shows on TV. He laughs: “There is no side to him, we knew what he would be like.”

And that’s a 24-year-old who doesn’t forget where he comes from. Asked what it meant to make his mum happy, Ginge told me: “I want her to know how well she did raising us, and how much I do appreciate everything that she did.

“From literally being a single parent since I was probably one……and working all of the jobs that she had. Just to know that anything I can do would make her proud, is just the best feeling.”

He added it brought him great joy being able to bring her Down Under to watch him triumph.

“I remember her saying years ago, one of her main aims was to go with Australia, and I managed to get her a free holiday there, so I’ve done all right,” he says.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Vogue Williams opened up about her time in the jungle, ahead of reuniting with her husband, Spencer Matthews

Vogue Williams said she’s already been spending the hefty salary she pocketed for her appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!. The 40-year-old joined the jungle as a late arrival alongside Celebs Go Dating favourite Tom Read Wilson, before becoming the third celebrity to be voted out.

For her time on the programme, the presenter is said to have bagged £100,000 – the same figure reportedly earned by this year’s champion Angry Ginge.

Chatting to Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on their Heart Radio Breakfast Show from Down Under on Monday, Vogue reflected on her jungle experience and offered her verdict on her fellow campmates.

During the conversation, she also made a playful comment about how she planned to spend her earnings.

When asked what she’d been doing since her exit, she responded: “Eating and drinking and then spending my entire fee on clothes over in Australia, I have bought an extra suitcase – treat yourself!”.

Quizzed about this year’s King of the Jungle, she remarked: “He is so funny and he’s such a nice, kind boy. I can’t imagine him ever being horrible about anyone, he’s just really sound.”

The 24-year-old Twitch streamer clinched victory with a reported 53 per cent of the final vote, beating Tom Read Wilson and Shona McGarty.

Discussing the finalists, Vogue continued: “I felt the same about Tom. Tom is this special human and he is just one in a million and he was such a great person.

“So, any of them to win would’ve been great. And Angry Ginge, I mean, I kind of felt like he had it in the bag from the start.”

According to The Sun, rapper Aitch was this year’s top earner with a reported £250,000 fee, while Eddie Kadi is thought to have received the smallest payment at £75,000.

Despite his high salary and being bookies’ favourite to be in the final however, Aitch found himself in fourth place.

Discussing his unexpected departure, Vogue said: “I was completely surprised [when] Ruby [Wax] went out and then I was so shocked when Aitch went out.

“It was like people just thought that other people were voting for him and then he just didn’t stay.

“But, I think it was nice because it mixed it up a little bit, because it was always like Aitch and Angry Ginge in the final and then when that happened it was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s anyone’s game now’, like that makes it more fun.”

Vogue is expected to return to the UK today, where she’ll be reunited with her husband Spencer Matthews and their three children.

Spencer was notably absent from greeting his wife at the iconic bridge exit after her jungle experience, as he’s currently attempting to complete seven full Ironman triathlons across seven continents in only 21 days.

Nevertheless, he posted an affectionate tribute to his wife on Instagram from Antarctica.

Alongside a photograph of the couple, he typed: “Disappointed to hear that my gorgeous Vogue is out of I’m A Celeb but I’m so proud of the brave stint she did in there.

“She showed heart, courage and fearlessness in challenges and, as always, was such a positive and pragmatic figure in camp!

“I would have loved nothing more than to have been there for her when she came out and am sending so much love from Antarctica.

Popstar Justin Timberlake, who had described his Lyme disease as “relentlessly debilitating” after his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, told how the diagnosis shocked him

Ten-time Grammy winner Justin Timberlake is “prioritising his health” following his Lyme disease diagnosis, it is claimed.

The popstar, 44, has reportedly paused his career after his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which ended in the summer. After it finished, he told his fans on Instagram of his diagnosis of the infection, which he described as “relentlessly debilitating”.

A source said this week: “Justin seems to be doing okay. He’s prioritising his health after the grueling tour and Lyme disease diagnosis. Jess (wife Jess Biel) is supportive. She wants him healthy.”

Justin, who was part of NSync in the 1990s, is focusing on his recovery, according to the source. The musician, born in Memphis, Tennessee, hasn’t had any significant gigs since the Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which saw him complete more than 120 shows across 15 months.

Spread to humans by infected ticks, Lyme disease causes tiredness, aches and loss of energy, which can last for years. The Mirror has highlighted the plights of people diagnosed with Lyme disease in recent years. Lorraine Damonte, who was battling the crippling disease, had to endure her children screaming “I don’t want to die, I don’t want to be like you” after they contracted the infection too.

However, Justin has kept his journey relatively private since sharing his diagnosis. The dad of two did, though, say at the time the impact was significant “mentally and physically”. He said: “I’ve been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease — which I don’t say so you feel bad for me — but to shed some light on what I’ve been up against behind the scenes. If you’ve experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you’re aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.”

The singer said he experienced nerve pain, fatigue and sickness during the tour, which it is thought he didn’t realise was Lyme disease until he sought medical advice. The NHS website also lists other symptoms, such as a high temperature, or feeling hot and shivery.

Despite his challenges, Justin decided to continue his tour and complete the final gigs, the last of which was on July 30 in Istanbul, Turkey. The source, speaking to PEOPLE, said Justin appreciated the support of wife Jess Biel, who he married in 2012. They have since had two sons together; Silas, 10, and five-year-old Phineas.
