In a heart-pounding twist that’s got fans buzzing, popular content creator Angry Ginge—real name Morgan Burtwistle—found himself teetering on the edge of a massive reveal during a live online chat. The fiery exchange with his sidekick and co-host, professional singer and rapper Tays, has sparked wild speculation that Ginge is set to swap his streaming setup for the steamy Australian jungle in the upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

The drama unfolded on their hit podcast Off Stream, where the duo’s banter took a dramatic turn. A clip shared by an eagle-eyed fan captures the moment Ginge playfully ribs Tays about his stint on YouTube’s FootAsylum series Locked In. “You got paid £150 grand to go on that, that’s why you and Ava did that set up,” Ginge teases, implying a fake romance for the cameras.
Tays fires back, questioning the “set up” accusation, but Ginge doubles down: “Where you pretended to be girlfriend and boyfriend and stuff.” As the teasing escalates, Ginge adds fuel to the fire: “It should for £150 grand, I’m not f***ing surprised. Plus, it’s also still lining your pocket because you went in today or was that for free?”
Tays, clearly not amused, responds with a mix of sarcasm and warning: “I went in for the goodness of my own heart.” But when Ginge pushes further, Tays snaps: “Listen, carry on and I’ll start opening my mouth…” He demands an apology in five seconds, threatening, “or I’m going to start opening my mouth.” Ginge, sensing the heat, quickly backs down with a sheepish “Sorry.”
The fan-captioned footage screams intrigue: “Angry Ginge tries to expose Tays until he threatens to leak I’m A Celebrity…” It’s this veiled threat that has viewers convinced Tays was inches away from blowing the lid off Ginge’s rumored jungle adventure. With I’m A Celeb secrets guarded like gold, this near-slip has left fans in a frenzy, debating if Tays was about to drop the bombshell live on stream.
Hailing from Greater Manchester, Angry Ginge has skyrocketed to fame as a YouTuber and Twitch streamer, amassing over three million devoted followers across Instagram and TikTok.

Rumors of Ginge joining the I’m A Celeb cast have been swirling, especially after the breakout success of fellow influencer GK Barry in the 2024 series. A source close to the show 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.”
Now, the full jungle line-up has been unveiled, promising a star-studded showdown Down Under. Joining the ranks are Celebs Go Dating favorite Tom Read Wilson, EastEnders alum Shona McGarty, stunning model Kelly Brook, and ’80s pop icon Martin Kemp, among others.
