Darts prodigy Luke Littler has expressed confidence in the potential success of Angry Ginge, a contestant on the show “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Here.” The 18-year-old, who shares a friendship with the internet personality Morgan Burtwistle, even playfully hinted at the idea of joining him down under in the future.
An ardent supporter of Manchester United, Littler smoothly advanced to the knockout phase of the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton by defeating Daryl Gurney 5-1 as he continues to defend his title.
In an interview with SportsBoom, Littler shared his belief that Angry Ginge, aged 23, will excel in the challenging conditions of the reality show, stating, “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.”
While Littler could be a strong contender for future editions of the program, securing his participation might require a substantial investment from television executives. When asked about the possibility of venturing into the jungle, Littler responded, “Erm maybe… If they come around for the right price. I might go over for a couple weeks.”
Angry Ginge made his arrival in Australia on Monday, where he was warmly welcomed by fans and media ahead of the show’s commencement. Despite admitting that he would miss his favorite team Manchester United and his mother, the 23-year-old humorously remarked to journalists, “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 TV program, Angry Ginge expressed his hope that Manchester United would perform well in his absence and be in a strong position upon his return in early December, saying, “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.”
