I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here winner Angry Ginge will be seen getting tearful after being crowned this year’s winner – before finding out who wasn’t able to vote for him.
The Twitch streamer and YouTube star was crowned the new King of the Jungle after three weeks in camp during the ITV reality show’s grand final on Sunday (December 7).
It was later revealed that Ginge, who was reunited with his ecstatic mum Michelle during his winning moment on the famous bridge, had stormed to victory with a whopping 65 per cent of the final vote, significantly ahead of runner-up Tom Read Wilson, who bagged a 35% share.
After becoming the first ever social media star to win I’m A Celeb in its 25-year history, Ginge told hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly: “I feel amazing. Honestly, (it is a) dream come true. I did not think I’d go all this way, never mind win, so thank you to everyone who voted.”
Now, Ginge’s initial reaction to his I’m A Celeb win has been revealed in I’m A Celebrity…Coming Out. The main series’ follow-up show is returning to ITV1, ITVX and STV this Saturday (December 13), giving an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at what happened when the celebrities left the jungle and returned to VIP paradise.

Presented by Ant and Dec, I’m A Celebrity…Coming Out will give fans a chance to enjoy all the best moments from the series alongside the exclusive behind-the-scenes story of what happened when the celebs left camp.
According to a preview, on the bridge a tearful Ginge, now King of the Jungle, admitted: “Honestly didn’t expect to get anywhere near to the end. To get to the final and win was just amazing.”
Former champ Danny Jones, who beat Coleen Rooney to the title last year, was seen going over to congratulate him. The McFly star said: “It’s an amazing feeling isn’t it? Everything about you is the spitting image of my best mate,” to which Ginge’s mum joked: “I feel sorry for you!”
Seeing his limo arrive for his winner’s return to the hotel, Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, said: “Bloody hell it’s big!” Once settled in the limo Ginge admitted: “It was three weeks of torture.”
It was then that Michelle, who brought Ginge and his sister, Tasha, up as single parent in Eccles, revealed: “Nana couldn’t vote as she couldn’t get the app on her phone, she can’t remember her password for iPhone,” to which Ginge replied: “Oh, cheers Nana!”
After a winner’s welcome in reception, in his room Ginge was welcomed by a full fry-up. Eating with his hands his mum pointed out there was cutlery, to which Ginge said: “I’ve been in the jungle, I don’t need that!”
I’m A Celebrity…Coming Out airs this Saturday at 9.05pm on ITV1 & STV. And if you can’t wait for your jungle fix until then, you can exclusively watch the hour long special from 7pm tonight on ITVX
