Angry Ginge may be known to millions amongst the Gen Z community, but who has the social media star been romantically linked to, and is he currently single?

Angry Ginge will make his I’m A Celeb debut tonight but is he single? The social media star is known to millions across the Gen Z community, having racked up millions of followers on platforms such as Twitch.

But while the 23-year-old, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, might not be known to everybody, he’s certainly made a lasting impression on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! bosses. But what’s his life like outside of his streaming career, and is he single?

In the past, the streamer has been linked to several women and most recently, was at the centre of a story after his rumoured girlfriend waved him off at the airport before heading to Brisbane. Here, we look at the rumours and his current love life.

There had been images of AngryGinge kissing a mystery girl in the airport, alongside two elderly women. However, it has since emerged that these images were AI-generated and completely false.

Last year, Morgan revealed that he had a girlfriend, although her identity remained private. In a TikTok shared by Footaslyum, he revealed: “I’m off the market,” when pals suggested he was open to love.

He added: “It’s quite inappropriate, if I’m honest.” He was also linked to British YouTube star Kaci Jay Conder, Joel and Sarah Conder’s daughter. The rumours emerged after the pair appeared alongside one another in an episode of the Sidemen’s speed dating video.

Morgan later posted a video on his YouTube page titled Angry Ginge went on First Date, during which he spoke about Kaci. And while he never confirmed a romantic relationship, fans instantly started to speculate about their bond.

Now, though, it appears that Ginge is single and very much open to finding love while Down Under. His pals, musician Tays and social media star Scousemali, have spoken about the possibility of Ginge meeting a girlfriend in the jungle.

Speaking in a new YouTube video, Tays said: “Ginge told me before he went on there, that he’s going on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here to find a girlfriend. That is the reason he said he is going on I’m A Celebrity, he said that he is going there to find a girlfriend.”

Scousemali added: “He’s going on there to find love, I mean I never got told this, Tays MCR got told this information then Scouse Somali got told second this information. Scouse Somali from Liverpool.”

However, Morgan himself has said that he’s hoping to make his mum proud on the programme. Speaking before heading Down Under, he said: “When I got approached to be on I’m A Celebrity… I said ‘yes’ immediately because it’s a bucket list item. I’ve watched the show on the sofa with my mum ever since I was a kid. To take part in it this year is something I couldn’t pass up on.”

While his name has been suggested for several weeks, he finally confirmed the news to his social media followers this week. He said: “If you are seeing this I have officially been announced. Just literally finished my last stream then before I went obviously couldn’t do like a proper proper goodbye because otherwise gives it away.

“Without you, I wouldn’t even be able to go in the jungle. So first of all, thank you very much. Yeah, basically just wanted to come on and say thank you. It should be good, should be interesting. Please don’t vote for me to do too many trials is what I will say. If I do get voted for them I will do me very best.”

Singer Rachel Stevens celebrated her ‘copy and paste’ lookalike daughter’s 15th birthday with a sweet Instagram post where she said life is a ‘learning journey’ for them both

Rachel Stevens took to her social media to share a heartfelt message for her daughter’s 15th birthday, as fans claim she is a ‘copy and paste’ of her famous mum. On Sunday, Rachel said life is a ‘learning journey’ for them both as she expressed how proud she was of Amelie.

The singer, 47, shared a sweet carousel of images with her daughter as she wrote: “15 today! What can I say Ams. Firstly… If I’m honest, I could really do with a guide book to help me out when it comes to these teen age years… You definitely keep me on my toes!”

Rachel, who is also a proud mum to Minnie,11, from her first marriage to Alex Bourne, added: “You’ve always been so full of energy, so full of spirit and so determined and I know that that is going to take you so far in life. Creative, sensitive, curious, adventurous, resilient, loving, caring, quirky and funny with a voice like an angel.”

She finished off the heartfelt post with: “Navigating life together is not always easy but it’s definitely an adventure and a learning journey for us both. Being your mum has taught me so much and I’m excited for us to keep learning and growing alongside each other.

“Happy birthday my darling girl. I hope this year is your best one yet and that your wishes and dreams come true always. Love you with all my heart”.

Followers rushed to send their birthday wishes, with many pointing out how similar the mother-daughter duo looked. One person wrote: “Happy birthday gorgeous Amelie. You’re doing amazingly Rach”, while another added: “she is your double”.

A third added: “God really said ‘copy and paste’”, while another added: “Happy birthday gorgeous girl! You look just like your mumma”. “Happy Birthday, you look like twins”, another said.

The birthday post follows after Rachel revealed she is “still grieving” and sometimes wants to “hide under the duvet and cry” three years after the end of her marriage.

The S Club 7 star split from Alex Bourne in 2022 after 13 years of marriage and Rachel was hit with more heartbreak recently, as her years-long relationship with Brendyn Hatfield ended as well.

Rachel was candid in a podcast chat where she shared how much the end of both relationships affected her. “I went from being married into another long relationship. I don’t know if I actually fully grieved the loss of my marriage.

“Some days you feel empowered. Other days, you just want to cry under the duvet and hide,” Rachel said on HELLO!’s Second Act podcast. It is sad and obviously, we feel things ourselves, but we feel them for our kids as well.”

She added that she struggled with “mummy guilt” during the divorce and worried about how her daughters would be affected by not only the end of their parents’ marriage but their father’s wedding to someone else.

Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse slams criticism from viewers over ‘paddle’ gate

https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article36256627.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/0_Strictly-Come-Dancing-2022.jpg

Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse has come under fire over the use of her marking paddle as viewers believed she was not doing her job properly unlike her fellow judges

Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse has faced the wrath of viewers after marking the performance of Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin. The pair were given 38 out of 40 points for their performance of the Paso Doble on Saturday night, which put them at the top of the leader-board.

However, judging by the comments on X, it looks as though viewers were displeased with Motsi Mabuse’s judging ability. On the BBC’s official social media account, it posted a clip pf the pair’s performance which attracted more than 10,000 views. But at the same time, fans rushed to express their discontent with the judge.

The BBC captioned the video saying: “This Paso Doble is straight up LIT! Amber and Nikita brought the fire tonight. Fierce and flawless!” But one fan said: “Can someone tell Motsi to hold the paddle up until the end of each vote. It’s series 23.”

Hitting back Motsi responded as she quipped: “You will survive, trust me.” Meanwhile another person added: “She can’t even find the right paddle!” Tthe Strictly judge said: “Relax !!! There are bigger problems in the world, paddle meltdown.”

But this is not the first time Motsi has been forced to express her opinion online or challenge the views of those watching the show. Earlier this year, professional dancer Dianne Buswell came under fire for dancing on the BBC show while pregnant with her first child. The pro dancer was teamed with Australian actor Stefan Dennis.

And while Dianne appeared to be to be taking things in her stride, it seemed viewers thought she was damaging the growth of her baby.

In a chat with Fabulous magazine, Motsi said: “We had a dancer on Let’s Dance in Germany who was pregnant with twins, and they danced the whole time. My doctor said to me ‘You’re not sick, you’re pregnant’ I danced until the baby came! Well, not quite, but we all do it. Our bodies can do it.”

She then added: “As long as the doctors thinks she is fine, let the woman dance! Dianne just has to trust her body and know what she is capable of. It’s lovely news. A Strictly baby is a blessing.”

On watching Dianne perform with fellow Aussie Stefan, once fan wrote on Instagram: “I don’t want to see her dance being pregnant, it’s already feeling uncomfortable and she’s only starting to show. It’s not appropriate.”

And in response, Dianne fired back saying: “I can’t believe in 2025 things like this are still being said.”

‘Behaviour is key’ – Tuchel to review Bellingham reaction

  • 192 Comments

Thomas Tuchel said “behaviour is key” and that he “will review” Jude Bellingham’s unhappy reaction at being substituted during England’s World Cup qualifier against Albania.

Bellingham started his first England game since June in the 2-0 win in Tirana but was visibly irritated at being replaced by Morgan Rogers in the 84th minute.

The Real Madrid midfielder, who had already been booked, gesticulated with his arms that he did not want to be substituted.

Tuchel said before Sunday’s game he would speak to his players about avoiding any needless red cards after Cristiano Ronaldo’s dismissal on Thursday meant he will miss Portugal’s opening two matches of the World Cup.

Another booking for Bellingham would have led to him being suspended for the start of the tournament.

“I don’t want to make more out of it but I stick to my words – ‘behaviour is key’ and respect towards the team-mates who come in,” Tuchel told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“Decisions are made and you have to accept it as a player.

Bellingham was one of seven changes made by Tuchel for England’s final qualifier and he showed signs of his brilliant best in both attack and defence.

His final act was celebrating Harry Kane’s second goal, before his number was raised by the fourth official, leading to what former England defender Stephen Warnock described as a “furious” reaction from the Real Madrid man.

When asked about it in his post-match press conference Tuchel added: “I have to review it. I saw he was not happy, I don’t want to make it bigger at the moment than it is.

“My words stand, we are about standards, level and commitment to each other and respect to each other. We will not change or decision just because someone waves their arms.”

Tuchel has previously referred to Bellingham’s on-field behaviour as “repulsive”, something the German later apologised for.

Despite Bellingham’s disappointment, he applauded fans as he went off and did the “right thing” according to Warnock by shaking Tuchel’s hand on the touchline before taking his seat on the bench.

“There was an element where he was thinking ‘how do I handle this’?,” Warnock added on 5 Live.

“There were probably words said to him as he left the pitch. Dan Burn walked over to him, Phil Foden walked over to him as well because they could see how annoyed and disappointed he was. ‘Don’t do anything stupid’ – that is probably what was said to him. The big word from Tuchel was respect.

“If you are going to win a World Cup you are going to have to play bit-part at times. You might not play every minute that you want to play, you have to do what is for the good of the team. The game has changed.

“Bellingham is going to have to take it on the chin and just say ‘ok, I’m going to have to change a little bit to fit in’.”

Conor Coady was in the England squad alongside Bellingham at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and said deep down Bellingham will know Tuchel made the correct decision.

“When the dust settles Jude will know it was the right decision to bring him off. What it is with Jude, he thinks at the minute he is playing catch-up,” Coady told 5 Live.

“He missed the last camp, he knows Morgan Rogers has done really well. He wants to play every minute he possibly can to show the manager he can be the main man for England.

Townsend’s Scotland in troubled waters after collapse

SNS
  • 32 Comments

Scotland have added new dimensions and layers to their games in recent times, but what has never been eradicated is their soft underbelly.

It was brutally exposed by an Argentina side who should have been dead and buried long before their epic comeback.

Murrayfield was shell-shocked at the end, struggling to comprehend how this Scotland team managed to take a 21-0 lead against a Pumas side looking way below their best and proceed to conjure the most spectacular of meltdowns to lose by eight points.

    • 1 hour ago
    • 4 hours ago

Argentina looked a pale imitation of the side that walloped Wales in record-breaking fashion in Cardiff, and Scotland were in complete control for the first 50 minutes.

They constructed three excellent tries, two from Ewan Ashman and one from Jack Dempsey.

At 21-0 up, they were camped on the Argentina line, looking to go for the jugular. But, as has been the case far too many times, rather than landing the killer blow, Scotland extended a hand to help their opponents off the canvas.

Finn Russell’s unnecessary long looping pass was picked off, the Pumas broke downfield, Blair Kinghorn was sent to the bin for illegally halting the attack, and Julian Montoya went over to breathe new life into what had seemed a moribund contest.

The great teams, the best teams in the world, manage these moments. They take the sting out the game. Scotland are not built like that. They lack the nous, the game understanding, the mentality to squeeze the life out of a match that should be firmly in their grasp.

It was reminiscent of Cardiff and the 2024 Six Nations, when Scotland raced into a 27-0 lead and looked for all the world like they were on course for a romp to victory until the slightest hint of resistance spread panic throughout the entire team.

On that day, they managed to pull themselves back from the edge of the cliff to win by a point, but the Pumas were in no mood to let them off the hook here.

After Damien McKenzie climbed off the bench to break Scottish hearts against the All Blacks last week, another substitute entered the fray in the second half to steal the show.

Santiago Carreras was like a man possessed, popping up in every attack, finding gaps in a tiring Scottish defence and inspiring his team to move through the gears.

Same issues again for Scotland

When Justo Piccardo went over to put the seal on a stunning comeback for the visitors, the Murrayfield faithful headed for the exits. They had seen enough on this particular day, and many have seen enough of this team struggling to kick on under Gregor Townsend.

The head coach cut a disconsolate figure at full-time. He admitted it simply was not good enough, that his team failed to handle the momentum swing at 21-0, and they simply have to be better.

The issue is it is the same problems that are cropping up again and again. There is no comfort to be taken from playing well for chunks of games, from creating numerous opportunities and not converting, from running big teams close but not winning.

Townsend rejects the suggestion that his team lacks the mentality required to win the biggest games, but the evidence is not in his favour.

Two crucial World Cup pool games against Ireland, in 2019 and 2023, remain fresh in the mind. When the pressure was at its height, when the big players and teams are expected to really step up, Scotland crumbled.

They have delivered big, one-off victories in the Six Nations, but in the eight years on Townsend’s watch, when the moment in the campaign has arrived to kick on and properly challenge, they have foundered.

Townsend had his contract extended to lead the team through the 2027 World Cup in Australia, with the bosses at Scottish Rugby convinced that this side is on the cusp of something good.

Comedian Seann Walsh was set to join fellow comedian Joel Dommett on spin off programme I’m A Celebrity Unpacked, however he has fallen unwell and has had to cancel some work

I’m A Celeb star, Comedian Seann Walsh, was set to join the shows spin off programme, I’m A Celebrity Unpacked, with Joel Dommett, however his appearance on the show is now unknown after he fell unwell and was forced to cancel many of his comedy gigs.

Seann previously appeared on the main show in 2022, where he entered the camp as a late arrival. His casting came after his controversial time on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, during which he was photographed kissing his professional dance partner, Katya Jones, while both were in relationships.

Seann Walsh, 39, addressed his fans on social media when he said: “Apologies to the audience in Hordean tonight and in Cornwall tomorrow night. I will no longer be appearing as I suddenly became ill last night. It’s not pretty.”

Seann, who finished 11th in the 2022 series, finished off with: “I recommend you still go as both comedy promoters always put on a fantastic night. Again, sorry I’m not there and hope to see you next time. X.”

Joel Dommet recently opened up on their friendship, he said: “I’ve known him for years and years. I’ll always remember that Seann was in a competition with me on my fourth ever gig, he went through to the semi finals and I didn’t. So he beat me in a competition and rightly so, he was better at comedy than me. We’ve buried the hatchet now.”

“We’ll do live stand up comedy on Unpacked to see who wins.”

Other celebrity guests this year will include Lioness Jill Scott and former King of the Jungle Sam Thompson.

Joel, who hosts the show with Capital Radio DJ Kemi Rodgers, says: “Our last Queen of the Jungle, Jill Scott came out last year and she’s just so lovely and so funny and also an incredible athlete. It’s a mad thing, you forget that alongside this she’s also an incredible football player. I’m excited to hear what she thinks about the new campmates.

I’m A Celebrity Unpacked co-host Kemi says she is excited for the show to begin and hopes there is not a repeat of a jungle critter landing on her head like last year.

“That’s the brilliant thing about Unpacked. If something goes wrong, it’s going wrong and everyone’s going to see it.”

She added: “I remember my first ever show of the first series last year, the moment that Joel was introducing me, for the first time, a massive bug landed on me and I was screaming. And this was my introduction into the entire show and I had to apologise.”
