Angry Ginge reveals mum wouldn't have escaped house fire as he confirms pets died

Angry Ginge revealed the tragic news that his family pets did not survive a house fire at his mum's house over the weekend.

Earlier this week, the streamer revealed that his mother's house had burned down as he was preparing to take part in Soccer Aid, sharing footage from inside the charred property on Instagram.

Now, the content creator - real name Morgan Burtwistle - has shared the heartbreaking news that his mum's two cats and a rabbit had all died in the blaze.

Speaking about the situation on Twitch, the 24-year-old said the beloved pets 'didn’t make it out'.

"My mum had two cats and a rabbit in the house," a visibly upset Ginge told his followers. "They obviously didn't survive, so rest in peace, Simba, rest in peace Herbert, and rest in peace Sparky."

"They didn't make it out, which is obviously really, really sad," he continued. "Unbelievable cats and rabbits, they were... Obviously, I lived with him when I lived with my mum in Bacup."

He fought back tears while showing photos of the pets onscreen, before revealing that his mother only survived because she was in London to support him ahead of the Soccer Aid match.

"If my mum was in the house, she wouldn't have made it out," he said.

"I suppose that's the fortunate thing. She wasn't there, 'cause she was obviously in London for Soccer Aid. That's how bad it was.

"That was the thing, the hardest to think about and deal with."

The streamer and I'm A Celeb... winner also revealed how he found out about the tragedy, revealing that he'd been woken up by a call from his mum.

"I was woken up by a phone call off of my mum, but my sister answered it," he recalled. "I thought, 'Well, that's a bit, that's a bit strange!'"

He then recalled how his sister broke the news to him, revealing that she'd used the phrase 'Mum's house has blown up'.

"I got sent a picture of the kitchen, etc., and it generally does actually look like it did," he said.

The family are yet to find out the cause of the fire, however Ginge reiterated his relief that his mum, Michelle Burtwistle, wasn't at home.

"I'll never sit here and say I'm religious or anything like this, but what I will say is, out of those eight weeks, this is the only night she didn't stay at the house," he said, noting that Soccer Aid usually happens on a different week and could very easily have been in Manchester.

"Thank the Lord that my mum's okay," he added.

"That's the bigger picture. Mum's okay, and that's what matters."
