Social media influencers are reportedly upset after TikTok sensation Angry Ginge was snubbed for this year’s installment of the popular show “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” Some influencers feel disregarded by ITV.
Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwhistle and is 21 years old, has been rumored to join the show’s lineup along with Lisa Riley and Shona McGarty. This decision has caused outrage among other social media personalities who believe they are being overlooked.
According to a source, there is a growing conflict among influencers vying for a spot on the show, with many established names feeling neglected by ITV. The exclusion of Angry Ginge, known for his FIFA content and a substantial following on TikTok and Instagram, has intensified the discontent among influencers.
Despite the discontentment, the producers of “I’m A Celeb” are enthusiastic about their chosen lineup. Lisa, a long-time actress on “Emmerdale,” and Shona McGarty from “EastEnders” are reportedly set to participate, adding to the show’s appeal.
Angry Ginge’s inclusion is seen as a strategic move to attract younger viewers as ITV secures the show’s future until 2030. Despite influencers lobbying for a jungle spot, tensions remain high as Angry Ginge becomes a focal point in the ongoing conflict with ITV.
The Mirror reached out to ITV for comments.
