Angry Ginge attended a match held at Daisy Hill FC in Westhoughton, Bolton, and was seen signing autographs after he returned to coaching Winton Wanderers U18s
I’m a Celeb winner Angry Ginge returned to his football club after his victory on the hit reality show and said: “I can’t put into words how good it is to be back.”
Morgan Burtwistle, better known by his streaming alias, was crowned King of the Jungle after braving Ant and Dec’s notorious bushtucker trials.
He won the hearts of the nation, triumphing over fellow contestants Shona McGarty, Aitch, Tom Read Wilson, Lisa Riley, and Martin Kemp.
The content creator was spotted signing autographs for fans after he returned to coaching Winton Wanderers U18s team in his home town of Eccles, Greater Manchester.
The newly crowned winner of I’m a Celeb’s 25th series said he really missed football and his club, and added that he will always live his life by the saying ‘never forget where you came from.’
It comes after he opened up on earning £450 a month as a ‘dinner lady.’ Angry Ginge said he won the popular ITV show ‘not only for Manchester but for everyone that’s supported me along the way, it’s amazing.’
He said: “Before going into it, I knew my presence online but since I got back, seeing the love and people recording their reactions and people getting emotional when I won, it was like, wow.”
Previously, reflecting on his journey to stardom, Angry Ginge recalled his early days living with his grandmother Julie on a council estate, working five days a week and paying £200 in rent at the age of 19, reports the Express.
His life took a dramatic turn when he ventured into streaming, catapulting him to fame and fortune within eight months.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: “It was an hour-and-a-half every day, five days a week on, I think, minimum wage. I’d give my nan £200 for keep and I’d get £250 to try and live off.
“I did that from April 2020 to December 2020 and then I went full-time in streaming in January 2021.
“The one phrase I’ll always live my life by is, ‘Never forget where you came from’. I’ve been brought up to treat the CEO with the same respect as treating a janitor.
Adding further, he said: “I think no matter what I achieve, I’ll still always be the kid from the council estate.
“Nothing changes that, no matter how successful you are or materialistic things you own. Nothing will change how I grew up.”
