People shocked after discovering how much Angry Ginge will get paid for winning I’m a Celeb

How much will this year's King of the Jungle take home?

The 24-year-old from Salford was crowned King of the Jungle as he beat the two runners-up: former EastEnders star Shona McGarty and Celeb Go Dating’s Tom Read Wilson.

Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, became popular for his rants about football and his team Manchester United, and he has turned into one of the most popular streamers in the UK with 1.4 million followers.

As champion he was presented with a flower crown and wooden sceptre, but he will now have to give them up before leaving Australia for the UK.

And as the last contestant standing, the TikTok star will not receive any cash prize for his victory in the ITV reality show's final.

According to Liverpool Echo, campmates are paid predetermined appearance fees ranging from tens of thousands to over £1m, based on their celebrity status.

This fee is received by the campmates if they stay for a minimum of 72 hours in the jungle.

And where they finish in the public vote doesn’t matter, after all.

Angry Ginge is believed to be taking £100,000 for his appearance in the show's 25th regular series, whereas Shona is estimated to pocket £95,000, and Tom between £60,000 and £80,000.

"I didn't do it to become King. I did it for the experience”, Angry Ginge said on Sunday.

Him being on the show was a bucket-list moment, according to his sister, Tasha Burtwistle.

"I knew it was on his bucket list, something he never thought he'd actually get to do, so I was just really happy for him”, she told the BBC.

According to ITV, the launch show of I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in November attracted more than 10 million viewers, which was its biggest audience since Euro 2024.
