Luke Littler continues to storm his way through in the Grand Slam of Darts but best pal, Angry Ginge, is embarking on a challenge of his own in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
Darts sensation Luke Littler has tipped I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Here contestant Angry Ginge to succeed in the jungle. The 18-year-old, who is friends with the online sensation whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, also joked at a possible venture down under in the future.
The Manchester United fan and streamer arrived at Brisbane airport this week ahead of the show beginning on November 16. Ant and Dec will return to the ITV screens on Sunday with Burtwistle already the bookies favourite to be crowned king of the jungle.
Littler cruised through to the knockout stages of the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton with a 5-1 win over Daryl Gurney as his title defence continued.

He will await his opponent for the next round of the Grand Slam but in the meantime, he will wait for the start of the series down under.
Speaking to SportsBoom, Littler admitted that he expects the 23-year-old to do “very well” in testing circumstances. He said: “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.”
Littler could be a shoo-in for any future editions of the television show but TV executives could be forced to part with a healthy buck in order to land the darts wonderkid.
When asked whether he would make the move to the jungle, he replied: “Erm maybe… If they come around for the right price. I might go over for a couple weeks.”
Angry Ginge arrived in Australia on Monday where he was greeted by fans and reporters ahead of the show starting.
The 23-year-old admitted that he would miss his beloved Manchester United and his mum but was witty in his response to journalists.
“I did a Duke of Edinburgh bronze award at school so I am not too bad at camping,” he said.
“One of the reasons I vowed to never go to Australia was because of the spiders and animals so I am hoping the hotel is secure.”
In a YouTube video confirming his departure to take part in the reality TV show, he hopes that the Red Devils would win two out of the three matches he would miss and be second upon his return in early December, he said: “Hello there. If you are seeing this, I have officially been announced that I am going in the jungle.
“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.”
