I’m A Celeb’s Angry Ginge: Mother Shares Emotional Final Call Details
In a heartfelt interview, Michelle, the mother of I’m A Celeb contestant Angry Ginge, shared touching details about her son’s final call before entering the jungle. Morgan, the 24-year-old social media influencer, has become a favorite among bookmakers for the show’s win.
Special Birthday Call from Australia
Michelle revealed that Morgan was allowed to make a brief phone call to her on his birthday while filming in Australia. “He sounded absolutely buzzing,” she said, explaining that he was preparing for the competition by watching episodes of SAS: Who Dares Wins. This preparation highlights his commitment to succeeding in the jungle.
Excitement for Bushtucker Trials
During their call, Morgan expressed excitement about the new rule that all contestants would participate in the Bushtucker trials. “It’s the best birthday present he could’ve asked for,” Michelle noted, reflecting on her son’s enthusiasm.
From Humble Beginnings to Social Media Stardom
Raised on a council estate in Salford, Greater Manchester, Morgan has come a long way. With his mother working on a modest £12,500 yearly income, he started live-streaming himself gaming under the username Angryginge13. Initially puzzled by this new venture, Michelle now proudly observes her son’s growth to over five million followers across various social media platforms.
- Social Media Followers: 5 million+
- Original Username: Angryginge13
- Annual Family Income: £12,500
Supportive Family and Friends
Morgan remains close to his family, frequently checking in on them during his time in Australia. Michelle emphasized that everyone back home supports him, making sure he felt loved and grounded before his adventure.
Emotional Goodbyes and Upcoming Reunion
The emotional weight of their goodbye was palpable, as Michelle reflected on how difficult it was to part with her son. They haven’t been apart for so long and she anticipates flying out to Australia after the competition to reunite with him.
“It was one of those proper lump-in-the-throat moments,” she recounted, noting how she managed to hold back tears during their farewell. Morgan joked about her adjusting to early mornings during her visit, adding a touch of humor to their heartfelt exchange.
Experiencing Luxury Before Camp Life
Before the rigors of camp life, Morgan enjoyed some luxury, having discovered an indoor swimming pool and sauna at his hotel. Michelle described his excitement when he spoke about visiting a koala sanctuary, emphasizing his child-like joy.
Staying Grounded Amidst Fame
Morgan has remained humble despite his rise to fame, noting that he doesn’t see himself as a celebrity. “I feel a bit of imposter syndrome,” he admitted before entering the jungle. He credits his upbringing as a source of relatability, connecting with fans who share similar backgrounds.
With his journey from a small apartment in Manchester to potentially winning I’m A Celeb, Morgan’s story resonates with many. His mother’s unwavering support continues to be a fundamental part of his success as he takes on this new challenge in the jungle.
