Angry Ginge reveals how much weight he lost on I’m A Celeb as he devours crisps and Red Bull

Angry Ginge has revealed just how much weight he lost on I’m A Celebrity. The content creator was a hit with viewers throughout his stint in the jungle and instantly became the bookies’ favourite.

During a nail-biting grand final on Sunday night, Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, was crowned the winner, with Tom Read Wilson finishing in second place. Former EastEnders actress, Shona McGarty, finished in third place and musician Aitch was voted out on Saturday night.

It has since emerged that Ginge managed to bag 53 per cent of the vote in the final three. But in the final two, Ginge secured 65 per cent of the vote, with Tom getting 35 per cent. Speaking to Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley on Monday’s episode of This Morning, the 24-year-old revealed he lost seven kilograms while in the camp.

When asked about the lack of food, he said: “I was looking forward to that, I went on there as a bit of a weight loss journey, and I lost seven kg, so I can’t say it wasn’t successful.” While laughing, Ginge added: “I’m probably not recognisable.”

Reflecting on reuniting with his mum and sister in the jungle, Ginge added: “That was probably the best feeling in there, as soon as I turned the corner, I saw my mum and sister, my mum’s eyes had already filled up, straight away I started crying, and we had a family hug.”

But as he prepares to leave Australia and head back home, he revealed he cannot wait to watch his beloved Manchester United play again and come out victorious. His first plan will be to see his Nanna and enjoy a curry with her – before getting back to his Twitch streaming.

However, while Ginge admits he was quite different to his campmates, including Tom, he revealed that the pair instantly formed an inseparable bond during their stint Down Under. Speaking about his runner-up, he explained: “Tom is absolutely amazing, we are just completely opposite, but we got on so so well, bonded really well and became quite close in the end.”

After arriving back at his hotel, Ginge was met with snacks including Pringles and a can of Red Bull to boost his energy levels. But there was one thing he had his mind on – a full English breakfast, which he devoured, but he laughed when revealing that he left the tomatoes on the side so he could focus on hash browns.

One memorable moment of Ginge’s experience was winning milk bottle sweets with Kelly Brook and his close pal Aitch. But unbeknownst to their campmates, the trio secretly ate some of the sweet treats before returning to camp. This, however, became public knowledge when Kelly dropped the bombshell that they’d eaten some when she was evicted.

Ginge said: “I’ll be honest, Kelly, she bottled that one if you pardon the pun, she just said there was more than 10, so we could play it off as 13, if she said there were 20, we were going to struggle. I didn’t enjoy stealing them, but I’m not going to lie, they were bloody delicious.”

Having found fame on social media thanks to streaming, Ginge spends a significant proportion of his day on his phone and laptop, something which he now admits will change once he’s back in the United Kingdom. He said: “I think it’s matured me into more of a family man, I take for granted going for meals with my family, always on my phone.”

Now, though, he will make a more conscious effort to keep off his phone when he’s around his family. He also wants to spend more time seeing his close friends, as well as cutting back on fizzy drinks.

As he was crowned on Sunday night, Ginge told hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: “I feel amazing. Honestly, (it is a) dream come true. I did not think I’d go all this way, never mind win, so thank you to everyone who voted.”
