The jungle dynamics on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! have taken an intriguing turn as a close friend of campmate Angry Ginge suggests a potential 'game plan' with fellow contestant and friend Aitch could be in play.
The Friendship Advantage
Freddy Doneorrell, a social media executive and friend of Ginge, has opened up about the unique bond between the two campmates. He believes their pre-existing friendship, a rarity on the show, gives them a significant advantage and that they likely discussed a strategy before entering the Australian jungle.
"You don’t really see two good friends go in," Freddy pointed out. He elaborated, "I don’t actually know anything on that side, but they definitely would have spoken. They’ll naturally lift each other up in there."
This mutual support system, built on chemistry and respect, is seen as a powerful asset in the gruelling environment of the ITV show. Freddy told The Sun, "When you’ve got two real mates with that kind of chemistry and mutual respect, it just gives them both a boost all the way through, so I think that’ll massively help."
From Online Star to National Favourite
Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, is a 24-year-old from Salford who first found fame by streaming games on Twitch and creating content for YouTube, primarily captivating a Gen-Z audience.
However, his appearance on I'm A Celebrity has catapulted him into the national spotlight, winning over viewers of all ages with his unique sense of humour and relatable persona. His background, having grown up in a council flat with his mum and sister, is cited as a key factor in his authentic appeal.
Commercial Success and Jungle Popularity
The surge in Ginge's popularity is not just theoretical. His team has reportedly been "inundated" with money-spinning offers since he entered the jungle. A source revealed these include a book deal, TV work, and several major advertising campaigns.
"Since the moment Ginge stepped foot in the jungle, the commercial interest has gone through the roof," the source said. "Brands have very quickly clocked that he’s not just a viral creator; he’s genuinely relatable, he speaks the language of real people, and he connects with an audience that many big companies have struggled to reach."
This commercial interest is translating directly into the camp, where Ginge, 24, and Aitch, 25, are now the bookies' joint-favourites to be crowned King of the Jungle. Their friendship, according to Freddy, is central to this success.
"If anything was discussed beforehand, it would’ve been about looking out for each other and keeping spirits high. That’s just who they are," Freddy concluded. "I think they both want the best for each other and 100 per cent they will want to help each other through to the final."
I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs daily at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
