I’m A Celebrity star Angry Ginge’s mum has broken her silence after watching her son break down in tears on the ITV show
Angry Ginge’s mum has disclosed her heartfelt response to witnessing her son’s difficulties on I’m A Celebrity.
The 24 year old content creator appeared distressed during Monday (November 24) night’s instalment of the ITV show, admitting his longing for home.
Prior to jetting off to Australia to support him from the bridge, Michelle, Angry Ginge’s mother, told The Sun: “I haven’t managed to watch the full episode yet as I’ve been travelling, but I saw a clip on TikTok. My heart absolutely sank, I started crying.
“It was so hard to see, because I know Morgan is such a strong person, so he must have been struggling a lot. I just can’t wait to give him the biggest hug on that bridge.”
We previously reported how Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, shares an “unbreakable bond” with his single mother following a challenging childhood with his father, reports the Express.

He became tearful after confessing to yearning for home and messaging his mum – who brought him up alongside his sister on a yearly income of £12.5k.
His choice to participate in I’m A Celeb is reportedly motivated by his mother, with whom he used to view the programme during his youth.
Ginge aspires to utilise any future prospects stemming from the popular ITV series to “pay back” his mum for the sacrifices she made throughout his childhood.
“He might act like one of the lads but Ginge is a mummy’s boy at heart,” our source revealed. “He puts her first and foremost in his life and feels he wants to repay her for all she sacrificed for him.
“His upbringing was turbulent and they had very little. For Ginge, appearing on I’m a Celeb offers a chance to give something back.”
Ginge became vulnerable during last night’s show, revealing: “It’s a bit of a sh*t day really, I just feel as though I’m missing home, missing speaking to my family, food and drink as well is a massive part but they say you have up days and down days.”
He appeared visibly upset, covering his face with his hands and acknowledging: “I’m holding it in. I suppose it’s just one of my down days.”
Later during the programme, he became tearful once more, sharing his yearning to contact his mum. “It’s just a long time to be away really,” he confessed.
“On the outside I have the option to just text my mum or whoever I want. Don’t get me wrong I know I’m going to see her in however many days, it’s just tough.”
