I’m a Celebrity winner Angry Ginge shared that he could easily not have been crowned King of the Jungle after almost quitting just hours into the show. Angry Ginge made ITV history<\/a> during his time on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here as he became the first ever social media star to win.<\/p>\n Arriving Down Under from the very start of the show, the Twitch streamer quickly became a fan favourite alongside friend and Manchester-born rapper Aitch. The duo had viewers in fits of laughter with their friendly rivalry, often competing against each other in the Bushtucker Trials to bring home stars for camp.<\/p>\n However, Aitch missed out on being in the final three, and a new King of Manchester was born – Angry Ginge.<\/a> Ginge ended up in the final with former EastEnders<\/a> actress Shona McGarty and Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson, but pipped them both to the post.<\/p>\n Following his milestone win, Ginge spoke to the Mirror and admitted he could easily not have been crowned winner. The Salford<\/a> star says he almost quit just hours into the ITV<\/a> show – and debated walking off a few days later.<\/p>\n He shared: “I was debating on the very first day, and I’d only been in there for a couple of hours. It was late when I’d got in, and I was expecting a steak but it was one steak between four of us, and that was a shock. That was the eye opener. I think, forget the snakes around the head.<\/p>\n “And then it was just getting later and later, and our other camp mates hadn’t joined us yet, and I was just sat there thinking, \u2018this is going to be tough. It’s going to be really tough.”<\/p>\n He said that things improved slowly but by the time he got to Day 10, he was struggling again. The star admitted: “Jack Osborne warned me day 10 would always be the hardest and I don’t know what it was, but I just woke up emotional that day. I just said to him: ‘I just don’t feel that good today.'”<\/p>\n Viewers saw Ginge get upset after viewing a family photo while in the jungle, and reflecting on that moment he said: “I came out the Bush Telegraph, and then I went and sat by the pond by myself there.”<\/p>\n Once again he considered quitting, and added: “I asked myself \u2018Do I want to go the extra two weeks. I was debating it, but then I just powered through it.”<\/p>\n After addressing how much his mum Michelle did for him while growing up, he said: “I want her to know how well she did raising us, and how much I do appreciate everything that she did.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom literally being a single parent since I was probably one\u2026\u2026and working all of the jobs that she had. Just to know that anything I can do would make her proud, is just the best feeling.<\/p>\n “I remember her saying years ago, one of her main aims was to go with Australia, and I managed to get her a free holiday there, so I’ve done all right.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The social media star found jungle life tough on the ITV showThe star was close to quitting twice…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620231,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3937],"tags":[77,1459,208,382,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-620230","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-im-a-celebrity-get-me-out-of-here","10":"tag-itv","11":"tag-tv","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115684475114913403","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620230\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Angry](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1765204883_82_0_Im-a-Celebrity-Get-Me-Out-of-Here-TV-show-Series-26-Show-22-Australia-07-Dec-2025.jpg\")
