He arrived in the jungle as the nation’s cheeky new favourite: Angry Ginge, the fiery-haired YouTuber with the big laugh, bigger heart, and a reputation for being the ultimate “nice lad”. Fans crowned him the early king of I’m A Celebrity 2025 – funny, charming, impossible not to love.
But in the space of 48 hours, the mask has well and truly slipped.
What started as a seemingly trivial row over camp cups has spiralled into full-blown jungle mutiny – and viewers are now questioning whether the “kind-hearted” persona was ever real.
Monday night’s episode saw Ginge absolutely lose it when he discovered campmates eating rice and beans out of the clean drinking cups, doubling the washing-up. Fair point? Maybe. The way he delivered it? Pure rage.
“I’m sick of this, man. I’m actually sick of it,” he fumed in the Bush Telegraph, eyes bulging. “I’m not having it anymore.”
By Tuesday, the grumpiness hadn’t lifted. He continued snapping at anyone who dared pick up a cup, lecturing the camp like a fed-up dad who’s just come home from a 12-hour shift.
And Britain noticed.
X (formerly Twitter) exploded with fans doing a complete U-turn:
“Anyone else having a change of heart on Ginge? Was my favourite, now he just seems like a whiny, spoilt little brat.”
“Feel like Ginge is the most homesick one there and it’s turning him nasty. His head’s gone.”
“The mask has officially slipped. He was loving life when he was camp leader bossing everyone around. Now the boot’s on the other foot? Can’t cope.”
The plot thickened when comedian Eddie Kadi dropped a bombshell on I’m A Celebrity Unpacked: it was actually Ginge himself who first suggested eating out of the cups to save on washing-up.
“Let me clear this up,” Eddie laughed Eddie. “Ginge said, ‘You’re using too many dishes, let’s use the cups.’ It was HIS idea! Now he’s raging that people are doing exactly what he told them to do. Man doesn’t want to wash a single plate.”
Viewers were quick to point out the hypocrisy – especially after Ginge, Aitch and Kelly Brook secretly scoffed half the camp’s precious sweets during a trial reward, then handed out a measly few to everyone else. Social media immediately blamed Kelly… until the truth came out that it was Ginge’s idea.
One fan summed it up brutally:
“He was royalty when he was leader and living in the treehouse. Now he’s back doing chores with the peasants and suddenly everything’s a problem. The mask has slipped, lads.”
Even his former cheerleaders are turning:
“I defended him for weeks. Thought he was just banter. But this victim act when he’s been the most protected celeb in there? Nah. Done.”
As the jungle turns colder, hungrier and crueller by the day, one thing is clear: the lovable Angry Ginge the public fell for might have been the biggest act of the series.
And with every snapped “I’m not having it anymore”, his ticket home gets one step closer.
Vote to save… or vote to expose? The choice is yours, Britain.
