YouTuber Morgan Burtwistle, known as AngryGinge, has been crowned King of the Jungle in the 2025 final of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!. The 24-year-old from Manchester defeated Tom Read Wilson after a record 13 million votes were cast, the highest in at least a decade.
Former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty finished third, eliminated earlier in the evening. The finale marked the end of three weeks in the Australian jungle for the 12 famous faces, who faced a series of Bushtucker Trials. Previously eliminated celebrities include Aitch, Alex Scott, Eddie Kadi, Jack Osbourne, Martin Kemp, Ruby Wax, Kelly Brook, Vogue Williams and Lisa Riley.
AngryGinge, who has five million social media followers, appeared overwhelmed as he told hosts Ant and Dec: 'I feel amazing. Honestly a dream come true. Thank you to everyone who voted.' ITV bosses are said to be thrilled with his appearance, as the first three episodes attracted 12 million consolidated viewers, a record for the broadcaster.
In his final trial, Helmets of Hell, Ginge had to put his head into four helmets and his hand into boxes containing mealworms, toads, crickets, cockroaches, lizards, scorpions, snakes, rats and spiders. He successfully won four out of four stars, earning desserts and a drink for camp. Reflecting on his time, he admitted he is still terrified of spiders and revealed the truth behind 'milkgate', confessing he secretly ate sweets he had won for camp.
Shona McGarty, 34, spoke in her exit interview about her close bond with rapper Aitch, saying: 'To be completely honest, when he came in he had this rapper thing going on. But actually underneath it all I could tell he was quite scared of the whole experience, we had a similar upbringing he was normal and I just felt like an older sister and I wanted to protect him.' She also reflected on how the experience helped 'heal' her after the breakdown of her engagement.
