I’m A Celeb star AngryGinge’s real name revealed
We're clearly in the season of taking refuge from the rain and chilly weather outdoors, opting for a proper good dose of cosying up to our favourite reality TV programmes on the sofa.
After already rattling through The Great British Bake Off, having our heartstrings pulled by The Celebrity Traitors and with the finale of Strictly Come Dancing just around the corner, we're no doubt looking for our next fix of telly to enjoy while we kill time between now and Christmas.
And I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! seems to fit the bill perfectly, having just hit our screens over the weekend (16 November).
The hit ITV programme is already off to a cracking start, given that a whopping more than two million people voted in last night's vote to see which star would participate in The Jungle Doomsday Vault – the latest Bushtucker Trial.

And, given this year's casting, it's no wonder why.
The full cast line-up this year includes: Brit Award-winning rapper Aitch, former England footballer and sports broadcaster Alex Scott MBE, Comedian and BBC Radio 1Xtra presenter Eddie Kadi, TV personality Jack Osbourne, model and Heart radio presenter Kelly Brook, Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, Spandau Ballet bassist and actor Martin Kemp, comedian, author, and television presenter Ruby Wax OBE and former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty.
And, of course, completing the line-up is none other than Twitch streamer and YouTuber AngryGinge, given his eye-catching red locks.
Now, obviously, the 24-year-old content creator's real name isn't actually AngryGinge; it's Morgan Burtwistle.
The Salford-hailing lad joined the interactive live-streaming service Twitch back in 2020 using 'AngryGinge13' as his username, which has seemingly stuck.
And, in his five-year career, he's accomplished quite a bit.
Who is AngryGinge and why is he famous?
Over time, he accumulated hundreds of thousands of subscribers, often collaborating with other streamers and social media stars - including the Sidemen, a collection of British YouTube stars, the most famous of whom is KSI.
He played with the group for a charity football match in London in 2023, before participating in the 'Match For Hope' the following year alongside internet celebrity Chunkz.
Last year also saw 'Ginge' taking on a number of social media stunts, including founding an EA Sports FC 24 professional sports club, which gained popularity online after darts champ Luke Littler and ex-England player Wayne Rooney joined.
Several charity matches, YouTube streaming series, Streaming Award nominations, and internet collaborations have led to the IAC star being considered one of the world's best-known streamers.
With over 1.4 million followers on Twitch and more than 818,000 subscribers on YouTube, Morgan has achieved significant success.
