Fans Spot ‘Angry Ginge’ Channeling Ant and Dec on I’m A Celebrity

Fans of the reality television show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here have noted similarities between contestant Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, and the iconic duo Ant and Dec. As the competition heads towards its final on December 7, 2025, viewers are rallying for a unique resolution regarding this season’s crown.

Originally from Salford, the 24-year-old contestant quickly emerged as a fan favorite, entering the jungle alongside nine other celebrities when the series kicked off last month. The group expanded to twelve with the arrival of Tom Read Wilson and Vogue Williams, but as eliminations progressed, only a handful of contestants remain.

Drama in the Jungle

In a recent episode aired on December 2, Ginge expressed frustration over his campmates’ usage of mugs during meal times. After waking up to a messy scene, he confronted his fellow contestants, insisting they adhere to the rules he had set regarding dishware. “I think I have been very polite when I have asked (people) not to use mugs, and I think my reasoning is more than fair,” he stated during a morning meeting. Ginge even warned, “If I see one more person eating out of a cup, I will refuse to wash up.”

In response, fellow contestant Aitch proposed a compromise that involved using the cups for two servings instead of one, which the group ultimately accepted. Ginge later acknowledged, “I’m happy with that,” indicating a willingness to adapt to the new arrangement.

Channeling Classic TV Dynamics

Later in the episode, Ginge was seen playfully interacting with the camp’s new leader, Ruby Wax, and her deputy, Lisa Riley. As Wax began to issue commands to the other campmates, Ginge provided her with comedic prompts, drawing comparisons to the dynamic between Ant and Dec from their own ITV show. Viewers took to social media to express their amusement, with one user commenting, “Ginge and Lisa are like Ant and Dec with Ruby when they used to tell people what to say.” Another viewer echoed this sentiment, writing, “DYING at Ginge doing an Ant & Dec telling Ruby exactly what to say to the other campmates.”

As the final approaches, fans are beginning to contemplate the outcome of this season’s competition, particularly the potential crowning of either Ginge or Aitch. Many are advocating for a shared title, with one user tweeting, “Can we not just split the crown this year and have 2 kings of the jungle?” The camaraderie between the two contestants has resonated with the audience, prompting calls for joint recognition as they vie for the title of King of the Jungle.

As anticipation builds for the final, the lighthearted interactions among the campmates underscore the entertainment value of this year’s series, while also highlighting the distinct personalities that have captivated viewers. With eliminations continuing and the finale just days away, fans eagerly await the outcome of this beloved reality competition.
