Angry Ginge was last night crowned the winner of I’m A Celebrity, and it appears that the social media star is set to become an even bigger star thanks to his victory
Angry Ginge could rake in thousands after his I’m A Celeb victory. The content streamer, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, was the bookies’ favourite throughout his time in the jungle.
On Sunday, during a nail-biting final, the 24-year-old from Salford, Greater Manchester, was declared the winner with Celebs Go Dating’s Tom Read Wilson finishing in second place. But it’s now been predicted that Ginge and fellow Mancunian and his pal Aitch could be set to become TV’s golden duo thanks to their unbreakable bond and likability in the jungle.
On Sunday, 13 million people tuned into the final and voted for their favourite to win. Aitch and Ginge are now placed at 7/5 to land their own reality show following their jungle antics.
The odds are also stacked at 20/13 to present Soccer Aid next year, and the pair are no strangers to the UNICEF match, having both played over the years. But they’re also at 11/7 to become the new hosts of Sky Sports’ Baller League – marking huge potential for both of their careers.
“TV producers will no doubt be preparing for a bidding war to secure AngryGinge and Aitch as a joint act,” celebrity PR specialist Kayley Cornelius said. She went on to add: “I would not be surprised if entering the jungle together was part of a pre-agreed pact between the pair, giving them the ideal platform to show how naturally they bounce off one another on screen.”
Speaking on behalf of Casino Games, Kayley added: “The fact that they are already close friends makes their interactions feel genuinely authentic. Nothing about their partnership feels manufactured, and that authenticity is proving to be a major draw for viewers.
“Their chemistry translates effortlessly on camera, which is exactly the kind of connection broadcasters look for when scouting long-term presenting talent. Aitch has already spoken about wanting to expand his career beyond music, and this moment could mark the start of that shift.”
Kayley also believes that Aitch and Ginge could mirror KSI, who started his career on YouTube before going on to become a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, alongside his impressive music career. She said: “It mirrors the reinvention of someone like KSI who evolved from online creator to charting rapper, mainstream boxer and now a judge on Britain’s Got Talent. Aitch clearly understands the power of diversifying and stepping further into television feels like a natural and strategically smart progression.
“For AngryGinge especially, a move into television feels like the logical next step.” Reflecting on Ginge’s career, which sees him boast millions of online followers, Kayley commented: “He has already reached the peak of online success and while his following is massive there is always the danger of stagnation if he does not begin exploring new avenues. His appearance on I’m a Celebrity was likely part of a conscious strategy to reposition himself to a wider audience and show he can deliver far more than short-form viral content.”
Aitch and Ginge’s appearance on the show will have no doubt introduced them to a new fan base who ordinarily would not have engaged with their content and achievements. Kayley believes that having social media stars such as Ginge on mainstream shows is a “wider movement” in the industry, moving away from “traditional television”.
“With their chemistry resonating so strongly there is a real possibility that AngryGinge and Aitch could become the Ant and Dec of Gen Z,” Kayley commented.
