The popular YouTuber surpassed his fellow contestants, including Tom Read Wilson, who secured second place, and Shona McGarty, who finished third.

The emotional moment unfolded as the 24-year-old winner broke into tears upon receiving the news. He was adorned with the iconic Jungle crown and shared a heartfelt reunion with his mother on the show’s famous bridge. Reflecting on the win, Tom Read Wilson expressed his approval, stating, “That’s as it should be. That’s everything I want.”

Fans took to social media, celebrating Angryginge’s journey. One user remarked, “I’ve only ever viewed @angryginge13 as another of those shouty, annoying YouTubers but I couldn’t have got that more wrong. He’s come across as a genuine, normal, down to earth guy who is just naturally funny in everything he does. A worthy winner.” Another fan added, “Ginge has gone from watching the show with his mum as a kid to being asked to go on the show, living his dream for three weeks and then WINNING?!?! Honestly, what a worthy winner.”

Angryginge Reflects on His Journey

In a conversation with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, Angryginge shared his thoughts on the experience. “There were so many days where I thought, you know what, I’ve done a few days, I’ve got a feel for it,” he said. “I got upset a couple of times, but looking back now, it’s gone like that. But when you think about every single day you’ve been there, you realize it was tough.” When asked about the significance of winning, he remarked, “It’d be unbelievable. But I didn’t do it to become king; it’s just the experience, so whoever gets it, we’re happy for each other.”

Final Thoughts from Fellow Contestants

Tom Read Wilson, who joined the competition later alongside Vogue Williams, described their entrance as enjoyable, saying, “I loved going in and being flanked by somebody lovely, and that made it all the more easy.” He graciously acknowledged Angryginge’s performance, stating, “Because he is the titan of the trials, and because he’s done such a lengthy stint, I think the crown has to go on [Ginge].”

Shona McGarty, who remained in the camp for 23 days, expressed her joy upon exiting and reuniting with Ant and Dec. Her standout moment was the pirate ship trial, and she reflected on her bond with rapper Aitch, who placed fourth. “He’s normal. He’s down to earth. We have a really similar sort of upbringing, and I just felt like an older sister and wanted to protect him,” she explained.

As for her personal growth, Shona shared, “I came in here shaking like a dog, and my anxiety has been up and down for as long as I can remember. But in here, I’ve learned a lot about myself, and I feel like it’s been a bit of a healing process for me.”

The finale of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! not only crowned a winner but also highlighted the transformative experiences of all contestants, making it a memorable season for fans and participants alike.
