Content creator Angryginge has revealed his humble first job – that he gave away half of his wages of
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.
