A hilarious video clip is taking the internet by storm just days before the launch of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! The footage features social media sensation AngryGinge revealing his real name to football pundit Micah Richards, sending the former defender into uncontrollable fits of laughter.
The Viral Moment That Broke The Internet
The incident occurred during an appearance on the Baller League UK podcast. As the Twitch streamer, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, urged Richards to give him a mention during a Sky Sports broadcast, the conversation took an unexpected turn. Richards asked for his 'government name,' a request that would lead to pure comedy gold.
When the 24-year-old content creator replied with 'Morgan', the Match of the Day star immediately collapsed into laughter, crying out 'WHAT? Morgan?' in disbelief. Defending his name, AngryGinge asked what was wrong with it, to which a still-chuckling Richards could only respond, 'Deary, deary, deary me... Morgan?'
The situation escalated when Richards inquired about his surname. As AngryGinge answered 'Burtwistle', both men burst into laughter again, with Richards quipping, 'Deary, deary, deary me Morgan Burtwistle.' The streamer then shared an amusing childhood anecdote, revealing that because he was ginger, his father had wanted to dye his hair when he was born.
Fan Reaction and Jungle Preparations
Fans across Reddit and TikTok have been equally amused by the exchange. One user commented, 'He couldn't even say his own last name without laughing,' while another noted, 'Morgan BURTWHISTLE the kid never stood a chance.' Others compared his name to a 'horrid henry character' or a 'Harry Potter character,' with many praising Richards' contagious energy and laughter.
Meanwhile, AngryGinge, who boasts five million followers across social media platforms and has made an estimated £1 million from livestreaming, is preparing to enter the jungle. Bookmakers have already named him the early favourite to win the entire series.
Speaking ahead of his jungle debut, the streamer admitted he's 'feeling the pressure' to entertain ITV viewers and has shared his fears of 'imposter syndrome.' He told Daily Mail, 'I think the main one I'm nervous about is meeting the rest of the cast just because I've never classed myself as a celebrity.'
Celebrity Connections and First Trials
Despite his nerves, AngryGinge already counts several high-profile names as friends, including Wayne Rooney and darts player Luke Littler. He developed a friendship with Rooney through streaming FIFA, describing the football legend as 'absolutely brilliant, he's just a normal, down to earth lad.'
He's also received valuable advice from Coleen Rooney, last year's I'm A Celebrity runner-up. She advised him to 'reduce his caffeine intake a month before' and to 'empty his water bottle out at trials' so production would refill it, as the water in camp is 'smokey.'
The streamer has already been spotted with fellow campmates including Ruby Wax, Lisa Riley, Jack Osbourne, and Alex Scott, completing their first trial ahead of Sunday's launch. Contestants were made to put a glass bowl filled with snakes over their heads to fight for a seat in the luxury Getaway Car, which ensures comfortable beds in camp.
The other five contestants – Martin Kemp, Kelly Brook, Aitch, Eddie Kadi, and Shona McGarty – parachuted from helicopters onto a beach for their trial. Despite heavy rain and thunderstorms disrupting filming, the stage is set for what promises to be another dramatic series of I'm A Celebrity, launching this Sunday on ITV.
