Darts prodigy Luke Littler has voiced his confidence in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Here participant Angry Ginge’s potential success in the wilderness. The 18-year-old, a close friend of the internet personality Morgan Burtwistle, playfully mentioned the idea of a future adventure in Australia.
The Manchester United supporter and streamer touched down at Brisbane airport this week before the show’s premiere on November 16. The popular duo Ant and Dec will grace ITV screens on Sunday, with Burtwistle currently leading as the favorite to claim the jungle throne.
Littler smoothly advanced to the knockout phase of the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton with a commanding 5-1 victory over Daryl Gurney as he defends his title.
While awaiting the next round opponent in the Grand Slam, he anticipates the beginning of the Australian series. Littler, speaking to SportsBoom, expressed his belief that the 23-year-old Angry Ginge will excel in challenging conditions. He remarked, “I think he’s going to do very well. I’ve known him for a long time.”
Speculation arises regarding Littler’s potential participation in future editions of the show, with TV executives possibly needing to offer a substantial amount to secure the talented darts player.
In response to inquiries about joining the jungle, he coyly stated, “Perhaps… If the offer is right. I might consider a brief visit.”
Angry Ginge landed in Australia on Monday to a warm reception from fans and media before the show’s launch. The 23-year-old acknowledged missing his adored Manchester United and his mother but displayed humor in his interactions with journalists.
“I did a Duke of Edinburgh bronze award at school, so I’m not too bad at camping,” he quipped.
“One of the reasons I vowed never to go to Australia was due to the spiders and animals, so I’m hoping the accommodation is secure.”
In a YouTube video confirming his participation in the reality TV program, he expressed his desire for Manchester United to secure victories in his absence and be in a strong league position upon his return in early December. He said, “Hello there. If you are watching this, it means I’ve officially been confirmed for the jungle.”
“That’s what I’m hoping for. I pray I’ll emerge with Manchester United in second place in the league and contending for the title… Arsenal dropping points.”
