Angry Ginge Set To Blaze A New Trail On Tv After Jungle Victory

Angry Ginge: From Online Star to Jungle King

Angry Ginge – better known off-screen as Morgan Burtwistle – has captivated audiences once more, snagging the crown on this year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here. On Sunday, he clinched victory with over half the votes, proving his popularity isn't just confined to the digital realm.

A Star in the Making

The 24-year-old sensation has long been a force online, initially charming fans on YouTube before becoming a Twitch powerhouse. Earning a cool £1 million a year, Angry Ginge has been dubbed "the Gogglebox of the internet." Now, experts are buzzing about his transition to traditional media. Celebrity PR guru Kayley Cornelius believes TV is his next frontier, noting, "For Angry Ginge, a move into television feels like the logical next step."

"His appearance on I'm a Celebrity was likely part of a conscious strategy to reposition himself to a wider audience and show he can deliver far more than short-form viral content," Cornelius told the Daily Mail.

Riding the Wave of Success

Hailing from Salford, Greater Manchester, Angry Ginge's triumph over Celebs Go Dating's Tom Read Wilson has crowned him the latest King of the Jungle. His win keeps the streak of male victors alive, with Jill Scott being the only recent female winner.

Angry Ginge's appeal isn't just his online persona; it's his ability to draw in younger viewers. A staggering 74% of the 7.1 million final episode viewers were aged 16-34, a demographic broadcasters are increasingly eager to capture.

The Future Looks Bright

Though he's yet to dive into professional TV roles, Angry Ginge's jungle win could be the springboard he needs. I'm a Celebrity's strategic inclusion of influencers like him and rapper Aitch highlights the show's pivot towards digital-first stars who can seamlessly blend online culture with mainstream media.

Representing the new wave of influencers, Angry Ginge might just be the fresh face traditional TV needs. As Kayley Cornelius suggests, "Figures like Angry Ginge are exactly the kind of talent capable of bridging the gap between online culture and mainstream TV." After his victory, Angry Ginge shared his excitement with hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, saying, "I feel amazing. Honestly, it's a dream come true. I did not think I'd go all this way, never mind win, so thank you to everyone who voted."
