Darts prodigy Luke Littler has expressed his confidence in the potential success of Angry Ginge, a participant on the reality show “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Here.” The 18-year-old, who shares a friendship with the online sensation, also humorously hinted at the idea of joining him in Australia in the future.
The avid Manchester United supporter and popular streamer recently arrived at Brisbane airport in preparation for the show’s premiere on November 16. With Burtwistle already the frontrunner according to bookmakers, anticipation is high for his jungle journey.
Meanwhile, Littler advanced to the knockout rounds of the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton following a commanding 5-1 victory over Daryl Gurney, maintaining his title defense momentum.
In an interview with SportsBoom, Littler expressed his belief that his close friend, Angry Ginge, aged 23, will excel in the challenging jungle environment. Littler shared, “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.”
Considered a potential future contestant on the show, Littler’s participation might require considerable negotiation with television executives due to his rising status in the world of darts.
When questioned about his own jungle aspirations, Littler responded, “Erm maybe… If they come around for the right price. I might go over for a couple weeks.”
As Angry Ginge touched down in Australia amidst fanfare and media attention, he acknowledged his fondness for Manchester United and his mother, injecting humor into his comments, stating, “I did a Duke of Edinburgh bronze award at school so I am not too bad at camping.”
In a YouTube video announcing his participation in the reality show, Angry Ginge expressed his hope for Manchester United’s success during his absence, aiming for a second-place league position upon his return in early December. He quipped, “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.”
