The lineup for I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2025 has been revealed, and one name is generating significant buzz, especially among younger viewers. Internet sensation AngryGinge is trading his gaming setup for the Australian jungle in a move that has made him an early favourite.
From Streaming Star to Jungle Contestant
If you're not well-versed in the world of online content creation, the name AngryGinge might have been a mystery when the cast was announced. However, for a generation raised on YouTube and Twitch, he is a major star. The content creator, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, is best known for his live streams of popular video games.
Describing his content on the official I'm a Celeb Instagram page, he likened it to 'Gogglebox but for gaming'. His primary focus is on football games like FIFA (now EA FC), where his energetic commentary and skill have attracted a massive following. He began his streaming journey on Twitch in October 2020, and after a break, returned in 2021 to launch a TikTok account and his YouTube channel, which saw his popularity skyrocket.
More Than Just a Gamer
AngryGinge's fame has extended far beyond his computer screen. He has proven his sporting credentials in the real world, having played in the high-profile Sidemen charity football matches as well as Soccer Aid earlier this year. His involvement in football also includes a role as one of the managers in the Ballers League, which is broadcast on Sky Sports.
This crossover appeal makes him a fascinating addition to the camp, likely to bond with sports-loving campmates while also representing a new form of celebrity.
The Man Behind the Username: Morgan Burtwistle
So, who is the person behind the AngryGinge persona? His real name is Morgan Burtwistle. Born in 2001, he hails from Eccles in Greater Manchester and is a devoted Manchester United fan. This shared passion for football could have given him plenty to talk about with last year's contestant, Coleen Rooney, who is famously married to former United star Wayne Rooney.
As he enters the jungle, AngryGinge represents the modern celebrity – one born not from traditional media, but from digital platforms. His journey from a bedroom streamer to a prime-time ITV star will be one of the most watched storylines of I'm a Celeb 2025.
