Angry Ginge has surprised viewers this year, with the YouTube and Twitch star making it to the final four in this series of I'm a Celebrity. The star's sense of humour, and willingness to throw himself into challenges have won him legions of fans and made him one of the favourites to be named 'King of the Jungle'.
While the 24-year-old might not be known to everyone, he is incredibly popular online, with 1.4 million people following his content on Twitch, while he has a further 889,000 subscribers on YouTube. Here's all you need to know about him…
Streaming career
Angry Ginge is best known for his videos on streaming platform Twitch, where he creates football-related content, mostly around the FIFA game series. He started his career back in 2020, and he came from humble beginnings, with an average of just 40 people tuning in for some of his initial videos.
Speaking to the indy100, he reflected: "I remember my very first stream kept crashing because I had a £15 capture card that didn't have any audio from my PlayStation, I used to have to get on my knees to plug it back in. I think my first stream peaked at 40 viewers and not many came back and I made £12.44 off donations through that first stream. After that I was getting around six or seven on average with peaks of around 11."
The star initially pulled away from streaming due to low numbers; however, after his granddad passed away in 2021, he was inspired to pick the career up again.

"That's always stuck with me and in March that year, I booted my streams up again and thought I'm going to give it a go because he might have been right and then it managed to take off," he said.
The star started promoting himself on TikTok, and after a close friend "raided" his channel, which is when one livestreamer directs their own audience to another livestream, his popularity exploded.

His skills with football streaming have started earning him plenty of cash, with his net worth believed to be around £1 million. A far cry from the initial £12.44 that he made from his first stream!

The star played alongside the likes of Paddy McGuinness, Mo Farah, Roman Kemp and Louis Tomlinson. Although the celeb team ultimately lost the match, Angry Ginge was awarded man of the match.
Life away from fame
Away from the streaming world, Angry Ginge is known as Morgan Burtwistle, and he grew up in a council estate in Salford, Greater Manchester. Unsurprisingly, the star is a massive football fan and has been supporting Manchester United since his youth, with Wayne Rooney being his sporting hero.

Responding to the clips on TikTok, the streamer said: "I don’t know what is worse. The fact that TikTok has popped off or the fact that someone has went out of their way to AI me as their boyfriend. I just want to reiterate, I have never, ever met this woman in my life."
A-list friends
Thanks to his fame, Angry Ginge has been able to meet Wayne, and speaking about the experience, he told indy100: "The one thing I'll say about Wayne Rooney is that he's absolutely brilliant, he's just a normal, down-to-earth lad and he's hilarious, he's funny, he's my idol as well growing up.

As for his screen name, he reportedly chose the moniker due to his red hair and his tendency to get easily frustrated while playing games.

Speaking to the MailOnline about their bond, he said: "I saw comments, even on the plane here saying, 'Ginge and Aitch are going to...' It adds a little bit of pressure because you want to entertain anyway."
Arrest
In July 2025, Angry Ginge and two of his fellow social media creators, Chazza and SamHam, were arrested while they attended the Silverstone Grand Prix. The trio were arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to a vehicle when Chazza filmed himself attempting to squeeze into the cockpit on a vintage F1 car that was on display.

After being held in a cell overnight for 15 hours, the trio were released without further action. The star was banned from the event for the rest of its duration and speaking after the event, he said: "I'm genuinely traumatised."
