The return of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! has already delivered a classic moment, and the celebrities haven't even reached the jungle yet. A viral clip featuring football pundit Micah Richards and online content creator Angry Ginge has sent the internet into a frenzy, all over the revelation of the latter's real name.
The Hilarious Viral Moment
In a clip that has since taken over Reddit, Micah Richards is seen chatting with the 23-year-old star, whose real identity was a mystery to many. Angry Ginge, whose fame comes from his millions of social media followers and online gaming videos, suggested Micah give him a shout-out on Sky Sports.
When Micah asked for his 'government name', the Salford-born creator revealed it was Morgan. The response was immediate and explosive, as Micah burst into uncontrollable laughter, exclaiming, "What?" After a bemused Morgan asked what was wrong with it, Micah could only reply, "Deary, deary, deary me... Morgan?"
The situation escalated when Micah inquired about his surname. Upon hearing it was Burtwistle, the former footballer was once again sent into fits of laughter, with Morgan happily giggling along. Micah concluded the exchange by shaking his head and repeating, "Deary, deary, deary me Morgan Burtwistle."
Fan Reaction and Betting Odds
The clip, which amassed over 2,000 upvotes on Reddit, was met with widespread amusement. One fan commented on the infectious nature of the moment, writing, "This is hilarious. The way they both laughed had me." Another praised Micah Richards, calling him a "national treasure" for his consistently contagious energy and laugh.
Despite being the campmate least known to the general public, Angry Ginge is the current bookies' favourite to win the entire series. Bookmaker Coral has placed him at 3-1 to be crowned King of the Jungle. He leads the betting ahead of rapper Aitch at 5-1 and Jack Osbourne at 6-1.
A Star-Studded Line-Up for 2025
I'm A Celebrity returns to ITV on Sunday, November 16, with a line-up that promises plenty of drama. The campmates joining Angry Ginge include comedy legend Ruby Wax, actor and former pop star Martin Kemp, model Kelly Brook, and TV personality Jack Osbourne.
They will be joined by rapper Aitch, former Lioness Alex Scott, EastEnders star Shona McGarty, comedian Eddie Kadi, and Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley. Angry Ginge has already predicted that his massive online following will likely vote for him to undertake the dreaded Bushtucker Trials, ensuring he is centre stage for the show's most gruelling challenges.
