Darts prodigy Luke Littler has expressed confidence in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Here participant Angry Ginge’s potential success in the jungle. The 18-year-old, a close associate of the popular online figure Morgan Burtwistle, also playfully hinted at a potential future adventure down in Australia.
A devoted Manchester United supporter and streamer, Burtwistle touched down at Brisbane airport this week in anticipation of the show’s launch on November 16. The ITV program, hosted by Ant and Dec, is set to hit the screens soon, with Burtwistle currently the frontrunner according to bookmakers for the jungle crown.
Meanwhile, Littler smoothly advanced to the knockout rounds of the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton with a convincing 5-1 victory over Daryl Gurney as he continues to defend his title. While awaiting his next opponent in the Grand Slam, he is eagerly anticipating the commencement of the show in Australia.
In an interview with SportsBoom, Littler expressed his belief that the 23-year-old Angry Ginge will excel in the challenging jungle environment, stating, “I think he’s going to do very well. I’ve known him for a long time. We’ll have to vote for him and see what he has to endure.”
Speculation arises whether Littler might participate in future seasons of the television show, although TV producers may need to make a substantial offer to secure the talented darts player. When asked about the possibility of joining the jungle, he responded, “Perhaps… If the right deal comes along. I might consider a brief visit.”
Angry Ginge received a warm welcome from fans and journalists upon his arrival in Australia on Monday, expressing his affection for Manchester United and his mother while humorously addressing the challenges ahead. “I did a Duke of Edinburgh bronze award at school, so I am decent at camping,” he quipped.
In a YouTube video confirming his participation in the reality TV series, he expressed his hopes for Manchester United’s success during his absence, saying, “Hello there. If you are watching this, it means I am officially heading to the jungle. That’s what I’m hoping for. I pray that when I return, Man Utd is in second place and competing for the title… while Arsenal is dropping points.”
