Online star and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner, Angry Ginge, has shared heartbreaking news with his fans after a devastating fire destroyed his mum’s home—just days after he starred in this year’s Soccer Aid.

A Call That Changed Everything

Despite the chaos, he reassured fans that no humans were hurt, but revealed the heartbreaking loss of his mum’s beloved pets.

“They Didn’t Make It Out”

In a tearful update on Twitch, the star confirmed: “My mum had two cats and a rabbit in the house. They obviously didn’t survive, so rest in peace, Simba, rest in peace, Herbert, and rest in peace, Sparky.” He paused, visibly emotional as he shared photos of the animals, reflecting on the deep bond he shared with them during his childhood in Bacup.Angry Ginge revealed on Monday that he was taking some time out following a “major” family issue (Credit: Instagram Stories)

The timing of the disaster, arriving while he was playing for England in the 3-2 win over World XI, compounded the shock. “If my mum was in the house, she wouldn’t have made it out,” he admitted. “I suppose that’s the fortunate thing… but it’s the hardest thing to think about and deal with.”

Despite the tragedy, Angry Ginge promised fans he would keep them updated: “I’ll go live whenever I can. I appreciate all the support—it really means a lot right now.”

Fans have flooded social media with messages of love and condolences, rallying around the star during this intensely difficult time.
