I'm A Celeb... winner Angry Ginge has revealed that his mum's house burned down on the day of his Soccer Aid appearance.

Revealing the news in a devastating update on Instagram, the content creator - real name Morgan Burtwistle - shared footage of what appeared to be his mum's living room, which was completely covered in black soot.

"So as you can tell, you wouldn’t think it, but right now I am in my mum’s house," the 24-year-old, who was wearing a respirator mask, told the camera.

He then switched on a torch to reveal the extent of the damage, before revealing that he was informed on the morning of Soccer Aid.

"This is what we are dealing with now," he continued. "Obviously there will be more updates, but at the minute... I mean yeah.

"This isn’t even the worst of the worst."

"We are dealing with this at the minute," he continued. "I will keep you all updated, and I will be live whenever I can go live."

He added that his mum would be coming to live with him while they worked out what would happen next with her home.

Ginge previously told fans there had been a family emergency on Monday, explaining on Instagram that he was dealing with a 'major family issue' and 'needed to be with the family and make sure everything is OK'.

He also addressed the speculation which had been circulating on the internet after yesterday's post, saying: "Everyone is assuming or guessing someone has passed away, they’ve not."

Ginge has spoken highly of his relationship with mum, Michelle Burtwistle, in the past, even breaking down in tears during his stint on I'm A Celeb due to not being able to contact them.

Speaking about his close bond with Michelle during a previous interview with LADbible, he said: "It's not also just about my mum, there's lots of single parents out there that have to go through what we went through and whether it's me just reminiscing and going back to the times where our electric could go out at half six and I'd have to nip to the shop and whack a fiver on the electric just to get it up so it'd be up for morning and stuff like that.

"It's nice to look back on and look at the grind of where it all started and it just shows and I kind of take it as a bit of responsibility and the people that obviously are going through similar things from what I went through, there is a way out you just have to put your mind to it and at the end of the day anything is genuinely achievable."

The content creator and his sister were brought up solely by single mum Michelle in Salford, as Ginge is estranged from his father.
