The jungle is about to get a new dose of high-energy entertainment as social media sensation Angry Ginge enters I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! for its 2025 season. The popular Twitch streamer and YouTuber, famous for his football content, has left his streaming setup behind for the Australian outback, promising to bring his unique personality to millions of viewers.
What Is Angry Ginge's Real Name?
While he's universally known by his fiery online alias, the man behind the Angry Ginge persona is actually named Morgan Burtwistle. The alias perfectly captures his on-screen character, combining his distinctive ginger hair with the passionate, often frustrated reactions that made him a viral hit.
The story of his real name came to a wider audience earlier this year in a now-viral clip with former footballer Micah Richards. When Richards asked for his 'government name', the reply of 'Morgan' sent the pundit into fits of laughter, repeatedly questioning the authenticity of the name and wondering which family member was responsible for the choice.
The Rise of an Online Star
Morgan Burtwistle launched his Angry Ginge career in 2020, starting with live streams on Twitch where he reacted to football matches and video games. His emotionally charged broadcasts quickly captured attention, helping him build a massive following across multiple platforms.
His rise was accelerated by collaborations with major content creators like The Sidemen and Chris MD, but it was his appearance at Soccer Aid this year that truly brought him to the attention of a mainstream audience and, crucially, ITV producers. A source close to the event noted his 'bags of personality' and friendly nature, making a strong impression on everyone he met.
Jungle Adventure Awaits
As Morgan Burtwistle prepares to face bushtucker trials as Angry Ginge, his millions of followers are set to tune in and support their favourite content creator. Whether his stay in the jungle is long or short, his journey from online streams to prime-time television marks a significant moment for digital creators in the UK.
The I'm A Celebrity 2025 line-up promises to be one of the most diverse yet, blending traditional celebrities with internet personalities like Angry Ginge, ensuring the show remains relevant to younger audiences while entertaining its established fanbase.
