Angry Ginge's net worth has been revealed ahead of his highly-anticipated debut on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Real name Morgan Burtwistle, the Manchester-based streamer has catapulted to fame in recent years with his FIFA and football-related streams, often featuring his over-the-top reactions and 'angry' demeanour.
He will become the latest social media star to appear on the reality show, after GK Barry featured in last year's edition.
Other celebrities who will feature on this year's show include the likes of Alex Scott, Jack Osbourne, Martin Kemp, and rapper Aitch.

The YouTuber has been named as a favourite to win the ITV show ahead of its first episode tonight (16 November), with fans eager to see the latest group of big names to take to the jungle despite criticism about the cast and a certain new rule.
The Twitch star rose to fame from almost nowhere, opening up on his tough beginnings in the past, including how he changed his name after his dad tried to add 'Smith' to the end of his name, 'Morgan Sam Lee Burtwistle', in addition to the other ways he caused pain for him and his mum.
Ginge even claimed his father was 'a massive racist', explaining that he never did or said anything 'stupid' despite this.
The Manchester United fan also recently posted videos of his 's***hole' flat he rented in Salford, which didn't have a door handle or shower and infamously featured peeling wallpaper and mould on the walls.
But now, it's estimated that the online personality has made anywhere between £804,000 and £1.1 million in the past year alone, according to The Mirror.
In the five years since launching his career on Twitch, he has certainly made more than that, with this year likely being his most lucrative yet, not least because of his appearance on I'm a Celeb.
Ginge made just £12.44 from his first stream and now has several revenue streams from separate platforms, as well as his involvement in businesses such as Baller League.
With over 1.5 million Twitch followers and several million more across his channels, Ginge's rise isn't slowing down, either.
Speaking to Indy100 about his rise to fame, Ginge said that he's done well partly 'because people can relate that I've come from the same place they've come from'.
Opening up on his inclusion on I'm a Celeb, which he said was one of his career goals in a previous stream, he admitted: "When I got approached to be on I'm A Celebrity…, I said 'yes' immediately because it's a bucket list item. I've watched the show on the sofa with my mum ever since I was a kid. To take part in it this year is something I couldn't pass up on."
He pointed out that he'd only given his phone up for a week in the past, coincidentally for another reality show called Inside, and that giving it up for two to three weeks would be 'educational'.
