The Journey to “I’m A Celebrity”: Angry Ginge’s Emotional Preparation
Morgan “Angry Ginge” has taken on a new challenge that is set to test his limits as he prepares to compete in the highly anticipated reality TV show, I’m A Celebrity. This 24-year-old social media star, who currently boasts over five million followers across various platforms, has been making waves with his unconventional methods for mental and physical preparation. According to Michelle, his mother, Ginge has been watching episodes of SAS: Who Dares Wins, known for its rigorous training and survival challenges, in order to mentally prepare himself for the intense competition he will face.
Michelle spoke to the Mirror about her pride and joy as she shared details of their last emotional call while Ginge was still on set. She revealed that he managed to ring her via the producer’s phone because he had been granted a quick birthday call, during which he sounded “absolutely buzzing.”
From Council Estate to Celebrity: A Unique Journey
Morgan has come from humble beginnings. Growing up on a council estate in Salford, Greater Manchester, with his sister, the pair were raised by their mother Michelle on just £12.5k per year. It was here that Ginge first started live-streaming himself playing video games under the username Angryginge13. At first, Michelle found it confusing but has since embraced her son’s career and even watches his streams with him now.
Ginge is incredibly close to his mother, who supported him through his rise to fame. “He told me he’s been watching SAS to get himself mentally ready for the jungle,” Michelle shared, adding that he was particularly excited about the rule change this year allowing all contestants to participate in bushtucker trials.
A Heartfelt Farewell and Excited Anticipation
The moment Ginge had to say goodbye was emotional, especially since it would be three weeks before they could see each other again. Michelle admitted that she grew emotional during their call, saying, “If I’d actually seen him in person, I think I would’ve cried, although I did well up when I said goodbye on the phone.” She also expressed her love for Ginge and his commitment to his family and friends.
Ginge’s preparation included discovering an indoor swimming pool and sauna at his hotel, which he was “absolutely made up about.” These small luxuries were seen as a hidden bonus before heading into camp life. His mother noted that Ginge is still a big softie at heart, particularly excited by his trip to a koala sanctuary where he could get close to the animals.
Nervous but Excited: A Fresh Perspective
As someone who has never classed himself as a celebrity, Ginge admitted to feeling nervous about meeting the other cast members. “Going up and meeting other people that actually are celebrities is quite nerve-wracking in itself,” he told the Mirror. He also expressed concern about his mother’s early morning wake-up calls when she joins him on the famous bridge for their reunion.
Morgan’s journey from a council estate to becoming a social media star who has collaborated with other celebrities like Wayne and Coleen Rooney, Luke Littler, and James Maddison, highlights the power of personal stories and relatability in today’s entertainment industry. His upcoming appearance on I’m A Celebrity is set to be another milestone in his career.
In conclusion, Angry Ginge’s journey from a humble background to becoming a social media sensation and reality TV star is nothing short of remarkable. As he embarks on this new adventure, the support of his family shines through as they share their pride and love for him, making it an emotional yet exciting time for all involved.
