I’m A Celebrity⊠Get Me Out Of Here! winner AngryGinge has been left heartbroken after revealing that three of his motherâs beloved pets tragically died in a fire that destroyed her Manchester home.

The 24-year-old YouTuber, real name Morgan Burtwistle, shared the devastating news on Instagram on Tuesday, just hours after learning of the blaze which occurred before his appearance at this yearâs Soccer Aid charity match. Despite the personal tragedy, he and his team celebrated victory for UNICEF, lifting the charity trophy on Sunday.

In his first video update, Ginge showed the extensive damage inside the home before revealing the heartbreaking loss of his mum Michelleâs two cats and rabbit. âMy mum had two cats and a rabbit in the house. They obviously didn’t survive⊠So rest in peace, Simba, Herbert, and Sparky,â he said, visibly emotional. âI obviously lived with them when I stayed with my mum in Bacup⊠itâs really, really sad.â
The star reassured fans that the main concern was his motherâs safety. âIf my mum was in the house, she wouldnât have made it out,â he said, choking back tears. Wearing a mask to protect against dust and smoke, Ginge walked through the ruined living room, explaining: âMorning of Soccer Aid I got a call saying mumâs house has burned down. This is what we are dealing with now⊠there will be more updates soon.â
He added: âJust letting you all know I probably wonât be live tonight as we have had a major family issue. A lot needs sorting out. I appreciate your support and Iâll go live whenever I can.â
Reflecting on the support from fans during Soccer Aid, Ginge admitted: âThe support last night cheered me up massively⊠but right now, I need to be with my family and make sure everything is okay.â
Raised by his mother on a council estate in Salford, Gingeâs early life was shaped by Michelleâs hard work, juggling multiple jobs including cleaning and care work to earn around ÂŁ12,500 a year for her children. She previously revealed how the family stayed safe in a tough neighborhood by keeping young Morgan engaged in after-school activities like football, theatre, and rugby.
Michelle also spoke about the emotional toll of seeing her son struggle with homesickness on the show. âI havenât managed to watch the full episode yet, but I saw a clip on TikTok and my heart sank,â she told The Sun. âIt was so hard to see, because I know Morgan is such a strong person. I just canât wait to give him the biggest hug on that bridge.â
The tragic fire has not only destroyed a family home but also claimed the lives of cherished pets, leaving a deep emotional impact on the popular YouTuber and his loved ones.
