Angry Ginge has fired a shot at his estranged father who ‘walked out’ on him after the streamer won I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, was declared the King of the Jungle by a huge margin in the finale of the ITV show this past Sunday.
The celebrity has spoken both on the show and in the past about his rags to riches story, sharing videos of the room he became famous streaming from which had mouldy wallpaper and a pub carpet.
In addition to this, one of the more inspirational parts of the social media star’s story is how he has overcome his dark family past, which involved his father ‘walking out’ on him and his mother.

The shot at his dad is the first comment that Ginge has made on this since winning I'm A Celeb last weekend.
What has Angry Ginge said about his dad ‘walking out’ on him?
Ginge has spoken in the past on his Off Stream podcast with fellow streamer Tays about how his father was ‘racist’, also stating that he no longer speaks to him over his treatment of his mum.
He said that his dad would regularly move jobs in order to avoid paying his mum maintenance money.
He explained: “This is why I repeatedly say he’s not a good man, and this is the tip of the iceberg, he used to actually keep moving jobs so this company couldn’t keep tracking him down so he wouldn’t actually pay my mum anything.
“I also remember as a kid, I cannot count on two hands how many times there would be the back fences kicked in because they were wooden. There’d just be cans of Stella and smashed glass outside, which was him.”
What has Angry Ginge said in brutal shot at his dad after winning I’m A Celeb?
Ginge reposted a meme to his Instagram story mocking his dad, posting a clip from Interstellar with the caption: “Angry Ginges dad watching his past self walk out on his son who’d go on to win I’m A Celebrity.”
The video, which shows Cooper desperately yelling ‘don’t leave’ at himself from the past, was posted by Ginge with the very simple caption: “HAHAHAHAHAAHHAAH.”
The streamer has since dedicated his win on the show to his mother, Michelle, who raised him and his sister by herself in a Salford council flat, managing three jobs.
He said: “I wanted my mum to know how well she did raising us and how much I do appreciate everything that she did from literally.
“From being a single parent, since I was probably one year old and then on and off and then throughout my whole life basically working all of the jobs that she had just to know that.
“Anything I can do would make her proud. It's just the best.”
