I'm A Celebrity star Angry Ginge has revealed his incredibly humble beginnings, giving fans a shocking look at the mouldy room where he started his content creation journey.
The 23-year-old, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, has become a breakout star on this year's ITV series, but his latest social media post shows just how far he's come from his early days in Salford.
The Room Where It All Began
In a recent video that's gone viral, the content creator returned to his former home, showcasing the cramped space that served as his first streaming studio. Viewers were stunned by the conditions he worked in, with many questioning whether he actually lived there full-time.
The tour began with the door itself, which lacked a proper handle. "There is no door handle," he laughed, explaining you had to pull the door from the side to open it.
Inside, the room showed significant signs of wear and decay. Peeling, mouldy wallpaper lined the ceiling, which Ginge pointed out with colourful language, telling viewers to "just f****** look at it."
DIY Soundproofing That Failed
Perhaps the most telling detail was his attempt at soundproofing for his streaming sessions. He showed viewers the makeshift solution of cardboard and foam stuck to the wall, which he claimed did "absolutely f*** all" to block noise.
The room's challenges didn't end there. He highlighted the window where neighbours would knock to complain about noise levels, even at 5 o'clock in the morning.
The floor added to the grim picture, appearing to be grimy blue patterned linoleum rather than proper carpet. Stains covered the walls, and the revelation that he'd somehow fit a bed in the tiny space left many viewers astonished.
Fan Reactions and Inspirational Journey
Comments flooded in praising the content creator's journey from these humble beginnings to his current success. One fan noted: "From there to millions in the bank. Amazing."
Others called him an "inspiration" and described him as "sweet" for sharing his roots so openly. Some original followers commented that "OG's know where it all started," while others joked that the conditions looked "worse than the jungle."
Questions emerged about his living arrangements, with one TikTok user asking: "Surely you didn't live like that full-time?" Another revealed that he'd mentioned paying £350 per month for the space on a podcast, with many agreeing he was overcharged for such poor conditions.
The video, captioned simply "The memories," serves as a powerful reminder of the content creator's remarkable journey from a mouldy room in Salford to national television fame on one of Britain's most-watched reality shows.
