Morgan Burtwistle, more commonly known as ‘Angry Ginge,’ is a contestant in the current season of the UK reality TV show “I’m A Celeb” which is being televised on ITV in the United Kingdom.
The viewers of the reality show were left heartbroken as the saw Angry Ginge breaking down in tears during Monday night’s episode.
Angry Ginge, who is a lifelong Manchester United fan, confessed to the cameras that he broke down as he was missing his family after looking at the picture and also admitted that the camp’s staple food of beans and rice wasn’t helping either.
After looking at the photo of his family, Morgan revealed:
“It’s a bit of a sh*t day really, I just feel as though I’m missing home, missing speaking to my family, food and drink as well is a massive part but they say you have up days and down days.”
“I’m holding it in. I suppose it’s just one of my down days.” [Manchester Evening News]
This comes after Morgan had won over the viewers in the Sunday night’s episode where, Jack Osbourne (Ozzy Osbourne’s son), who is also a contestant on the show also broke down in tears as he recalled it had been four months since the passing of his father.
Ginge was seen consoling Jack as he told him “men cry too” while giving a pat on his shoulder.
At a time where there is still a stigma around men showing their vulnerability, Ginge was praised on Football Twitter for exposing his vulnerable side, rather.
Ginge has always been known as a funny and jokey character through his YouTube videos but when something like this came up on TV, viewers also got to see the other side of him.

The 24-year-old celebrity from Salford has rapidly become a fan favourite Down Under, as he and Manchester-born rapper Aitch have been the popular faces to compete in the Bushtucker trials.
Bushtucker (refers to food consumed by native Australians) Trials involves eating and facing creatures of various kinds in the show.
The reality program is about celebrities who are taken into a jungle camp where they are put out of their comfort zone and are meant to live with very minimal facilities till the winner is declared.
They take part in Bushtucker Trials, as mentioned above and also look to complete various stunts and tasks.
Public votes decide who does the challenges and the celebrities get eliminated one by one if/when they fail to do so.
The last remaining contestant is crowned the “King” or “Queen of the Jungle”.
The current season is being shot in Dungay Creek in New South Wales, Australia.
The contestants for the 2025 season include names like Ruby Wax, Alex Scott, Eddie Kadi, Harrison Armstrong (Aitch) and many others including Morgan Burtwistle (Angry Ginge).
