Darts prodigy Luke Littler has expressed confidence in the chances of Angry Ginge, a contestant on the TV show “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Here,” to thrive in the jungle. The 18-year-old, who shares a friendship with the internet personality Morgan Burtwistle, hinted at a potential future adventure in Australia.
Burtwistle, a devoted Manchester United supporter and popular streamer, touched down at Brisbane airport this week in preparation for the show’s launch on November 16. With bookmakers already favoring Burtwistle to claim the jungle crown, anticipation is high for his performance.
Meanwhile, Littler secured a spot in the Grand Slam of Darts knockout stages in Wolverhampton after defeating Daryl Gurney 5-1 as he continues his title defense. As he gears up for the next round of the tournament, he eagerly awaits the commencement of the TV series in Australia.
In an interview with SportsBoom, Littler expressed his belief that Angry Ginge, aged 23, will excel in the challenging jungle environment. He quipped, “I think he’s going to do very well. I’ve known for a very long time. We’ll have to vote him on and see what he has to eat.”
Speculation surrounds Littler’s potential participation in future editions of the television show, with network executives possibly needing to offer a substantial sum to secure the services of the talented darts player. Responding to inquiries about joining the jungle, Littler remarked, “Erm maybe… If they come around for the right price. I might go over for a couple weeks.”
Angry Ginge’s arrival in Australia was met with enthusiastic fans and media attention as he prepared for the reality show. Despite admitting missing Manchester United and his mother, the 23-year-old humorously remarked, “I did a Duke of Edinburgh bronze award at school so I am not too bad at camping,” while expressing concerns about Australian wildlife.
In a YouTube video announcing his participation in the show, Burtwistle expressed his hope that Manchester United would perform well in his absence, aiming for a strong league position upon his return in early December. He said, “Hello there. If you are seeing this, I have officially been announced that I am going in the jungle. That’s what I’m praying for. I’m hoping I come out, Man Utd are second in the league and going for the title… Arsenal are dropping points.”
