The 2025 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has been electrified by the hilarious dynamic between rapper Aitch and Twitch streamer Angry Ginge, but their bond isn't a jungle creation. The fan-favourite duo have actually been close friends for years, a fact that's adding a unique layer to their camp interactions.
A Friendship Forged Long Before the Jungle
While viewers might think their chemistry sparked under the Australian sun, Morgan Burtwistle, known professionally as Angry Ginge, and rapper Harrison 'Aitch' Armstrong have a history that predates their reality TV stint. Eagle-eyed followers of Ginge's substantial online presence may have previously spotted the 'Rain' hitmaker collaborating with him and their mutual friend, Michael 'Tays' Taylor, on various content.
The trio are regular gaming partners, a friendship so solid that Tays actively promoted their jungle entrance to his own audience. He took to social media with a post that read: "LATE ARRIVAL Watch the boys react to the jungle on my twitch 9 PM!!!" Outside of the jungle, their camaraderie continues on the 'Tays & Ginge Off Stream' podcast, which Ginge co-hosts.
Viewers Are Loving the Dynamic Duo
The pair's established friendship has not gone unnoticed on social media, where fans are enthusiastically celebrating their on-screen bond. One viewer pointed out, "People not understanding their sense of humour," suggesting their banter is a product of a long-shared comedic language.
Many are already backing them for the finale, with one fan writing: "Can we all agree that we need Aitch and Ginge in the finale? That would be amazing!" Another supporter declared: "These two are going to make this show this year absolutely hilarious together!" This pre-existing rapport was immediately evident, as Aitch was seen trying to diffuse camp tensions on their very first night.
The Infamous Campfire Moment
The strength of their friendship was put to the test early in the series during a now-infamous campfire lighting attempt. The situation began when Angry Ginge seemed to take a playful swipe at fellow camper Jack Osbourne, who was struggling to get the fire going. "Lads, how have we not got this going yet?" Ginge remarked.
After Jack spent considerable time trying to ignite the flames, he was seen blowing on them to encourage growth. Ginge, however, was quick to question the technique. "Are you blowing on it?" he queried. "I am just trying to think, if I had a candle, to put it out, I blow on it."
At this point, Aitch stepped in, pulling his friend aside for a quiet word. "Stop it," the music star said with a grin, before jovially adding, "You are being stupid!" Ginge defended his logic, questioning, "How do you blow a candle out? He is blowing on it." While Aitch maintained that blowing was the correct way to start a fire, Ginge remained adamant it wasn't.
This hilarious exchange quickly set social media alight, with fans championing their dynamic. One user, @erinstallwood, tweeted: "Ginge and Aitch gonna kill me this year." Another, @danielle_6x_, remarked: "Ginge and Aitch already had me in stitches. Get these lads to the final."
Logging on to share their view, @carolecairns penned: "The boys arriving in camp and lighting the fire, Ginge and Aitch was hilarious. It's going to be a great series." The support was so strong that @WhatsAnIQ__ shared: "If we don't crown Aitch or Ginge king of the jungle then as a nation we have failed massively #ImACeleb." It's clear that for many viewers, this pre-existing friendship is set to be the standout story of the series.
