Streaming star Angry Ginge has disclosed that former I'm a Celebrity runner-up Coleen Rooney has been offering him secret advice ahead of his appearance on the show. Ginge, the current favourite to win, told the Mirror that Coleen shared 'tips and tricks' for the jungle, though he declined to reveal the specifics. 'I'm not going to be sharing it, because I feel as though once I share it, that advice will be nullified,' he said.
Coleen's husband Wayne Rooney is also backing Ginge, with the streamer saying Wayne was 'buzzing' when told about the opportunity. Wayne has promised to vote for Ginge to undertake trials, adding to the pressure from friends including darts star Luke Littler and footballer James Maddison, who Ginge says hope he does every trial.
Despite his celebrity connections, Ginge admitted to feeling nervous about meeting the other campmates, citing imposter syndrome. 'I've never classed myself as a celebrity,' he said. 'Going up and meeting other people that actually are celebrities, that's quite nerve-wracking.' He also joked about his pale complexion, noting he has applied factor 50 sunscreen even while staying indoors.
Ginge, known for his Twitch streaming career, insisted he will remain loyal to his platform regardless of the show's outcome. 'I'll always stay loyal,' he said. 'I've always lived my life with the saying, 'Never forget where you came from'.'
