Social media sensation Angry Ginge is reportedly set to be signed up for the next series of I’m A Celeb after impressing ITV bosses during Soccer Aid recently
ITV bosses of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here are already starting to secure the celebrity line-up for this year’s series and have now eyed up one star they feel will fit in perfectly. Social media star Angry Ginge, who has more than three million followers across his platforms including Instagram and Tik Tok, is one of a few names being thrown into the hat.
Once Angry Ginge signs on the dotted line, he will be following in the footsteps of Nella Rose and GK Barry from previous years.
The social media star, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, is believed to have impressed ITV bosses during the annual charity football match Soccer Aid.
A source told The Sun: “ITV bosses always like to have a social media superstar on their cast, especially after GK Barry proved such a success last year. Angry Ginge has bags of personality and was really friendly to everyone at Soccer Aid this year. He made a great impression.”

Angry Ginge’s followers are regularly kept in the loop with his life and career highlights.
And one of them was when he worked eith football legend Wayne Rooney.
Other names in the mix are Emmerdale star Lisa Riley and former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty.
In December 2023, Nella Rose, who was one of the first social media stars to enter the Australian jungle, wasn’t greeted by anyone following her exit and decided to not be interviewed by Lorraine Kelly.
And at the time, many were left concerned.
Nella became quite a talking point during her time on the ITV show after she famously clashed with First Dates star Fred Sirieux.
And at the time of her exit, the Mirror exclusively revealed the real reason she opted out of speaking on Lorraine.
A source told the Mirror: “There seems to be some confusion but Nella has just been relaxing on her first day out of the jungle.
It is quite common for contestants to do that and she will be giving her views and thoughts about her time in the jungle on ITV on Wednesday.”
The stars of the show have the choice of appearing on either Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women, for their exit interview.
