Darts prodigy Luke Littler has expressed confidence in the potential of Angry Ginge, a participant on the reality show “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Here,” to thrive in the jungle. Littler, 18, who shares a friendship with the online personality Morgan Burtwistle, hinted at the prospect of a future adventure in Australia.
A devoted Manchester United supporter, the streamer made his arrival at Brisbane airport this week in preparation for the show’s premiere on November 16. Burtwistle is already the frontrunner according to bookmakers to claim victory as the jungle king when the show airs on ITV with hosts Ant and Dec.
Meanwhile, Littler secured his spot in the Grand Slam of Darts knockout stages in Wolverhampton with a commanding 5-1 victory over Daryl Gurney, further cementing his title defense journey. As he anticipates his next opponent in the tournament, he is also eagerly awaiting the commencement of the reality show in Australia.
In an interview with SportsBoom, Littler expressed his belief that Angry Ginge, aged 23, will excel in the challenging environment of the jungle. He stated, “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.”
Regarding the possibility of his own participation in future installments of the show, Littler hinted at a potential move to the jungle, contingent upon the right offer. He mentioned, “Erm maybe… If they come around for the right price. I might go over for a couple weeks.”
Angry Ginge was welcomed by fans and media upon his arrival in Australia earlier this week. Despite confessing to missing his cherished Manchester United and his mother, the 23-year-old humorously mentioned his camping experience during a Duke of Edinburgh bronze award at school, highlighting his adaptability to outdoor settings.
In a YouTube video announcing his participation in the reality TV program, Angry Ginge expressed hope for Manchester United’s success in his absence, aiming for a strong league position upon his return in early December. He humorously remarked, “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.”
