Social media sensation Angry Ginge has been officially crowned the King of the Jungle, triumphing in the 2025 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! The YouTube and streaming star emerged victorious in the grand final on Sunday, 7 December 2025, after a dramatic three-week stint in the Australian wilderness.
The Gruelling Final Showdown
The climax of the series saw Ginge compete against fellow finalists, Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson and EastEnders actress Shona McGarty. Before the winner was revealed, the trio first faced the iconic and chaotic Celebrity Cyclone challenge alongside rapper Aitch, who was voted out just moments before the final stage.
Following the physical trial, the exhausted finalists were treated to a lavish last supper, where they could select any starter, main course, and dessert—a stark contrast to their previous weeks surviving on basic rations of rice and beans.
A Dream Come True for the Social Media Star
Despite being a favourite alongside Aitch for much of the competition, some viewers questioned whether a digital creator could win against more traditional celebrities. However, Ginge's wit, determination, and surprising vulnerability ultimately won the hearts of the British public.
When his name was announced, the winner was initially left speechless. He eventually told hosts Ant and Dec, "I don’t think I can swear, but I feel amazing. Honestly, a dream come true. I didn’t think I could go all this way never mind win. Thank you to everyone who voted."
Reflecting on the intense experience earlier in the final, he admitted, "It was a lot harder than I thought it’d be. I’d reached out to people before I went in to get some advice, but nobody warned me about what I was about to go through."
Celebrations from the Camp and the Community
Runner-up Tom Read Wilson immediately embraced and kissed the new King in a heartfelt moment. The final results saw Shona McGarty finish in third place, with Tom Read Wilson as the runner-up.
Celebrations erupted beyond the jungle, particularly within the online community. Fellow YouTube superstar and Sidemen member KSI shared his joy on Instagram Stories, screaming with excitement as Ginge won. He said, "Honestly, I'm so proud of this guy man. He's done so well. Bro, enjoy! Get out of there man and enjoy life now. No more suffering."
Fans also flooded social media platform X with congratulatory messages, highlighting Ginge's remarkable journey from living in a pub a year ago to winning the nation's biggest reality show. Many praised his background, celebrating his rise from a Salford council estate and his success in supporting his family.
Angry Ginge now takes the title from last year's champion, Danny Jones of McFly, cementing his place in I'm A Celebrity history.
