Mark Wright has issued a light-hearted but firm warning to I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! finalist Angry Ginge, after the YouTuber openly admired Wright's wife, actress Michelle Keegan, during a jungle chat.
Jungle Confession Sparks Playful Reaction
The incident unfolded when Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, was in conversation with his former campmate, comedian Ruby Wax. When asked who would turn his head, the 24-year-old from Manchester immediately named Michelle Keegan, 38, describing her as "beautiful." He elaborated on his hypothetical approach, saying he would ask for her Instagram.
Addressing the comment during his Heart Radio show on Saturday with co-host Olly Murs, Mark Wright responded with mock severity. "So listen, I don't mind him saying that my wife is his dream woman but saying I'm going to approach her while she's married?" Wright said. He jokingly added that if Ginge was aware Michelle was married, they would "have some problems."
"She's Mine": Wright Claims His Dream Woman
Olly Murs suggested Ginge's comment was a compliment and possibly rooted in their shared Manchester origins. However, Wright was quick to assert his claim. "She is my dream woman, she's mine - Ginge, stay away!" he declared. The couple have been married since 2015.
Meanwhile, Ginge, who is believed to be single, had previously shared details of his own romantic efforts in the camp. He recounted how he asked a former girlfriend to be his partner using a trail of rose petals leading to a teddy bear and a rose. Despite this grand gesture, the relationship ended abruptly via text while he was in the middle of a livestream.
Final Showdown and Celebrity Exit
This playful drama comes as Angry Ginge is one of the three remaining finalists in this year's I'm A Celebrity, alongside Tom Read Wilson and Shona McGarty, all vying to be crowned King or Queen of the jungle.
In the latest elimination, rapper Aitch became the ninth celebrity to be voted off following the Celebrity Cyclone challenge. When asked by hosts Ant and Dec who he wanted to win, Aitch gave his support to Ginge, stating "that crown needs to come back to my home town."
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues nightly at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
