Angry Ginge Told to ‘Give Q-School a Crack’ as Footage of Checkout Goes Viral

Fans have urged content creator and friend of Luke Littler, Angry Ginge, to give Q-School a try after watching footage of the 24-year-old playing darts.

Angry Ginge – real name Morgan Burtwistle – is arguably one of the most well-known content creators in the UK following his appearance on ITV show ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here’ in December.

The 24-year-old was crowned ‘King of the Jungle’ with his popularity skyrocketing as a result of the show.

However, Ginge was already a household name among 18-35-year-olds due to his streaming content, while he also boasts a strong friendship with darts sensation Littler.

Since returning from the Australian jungle, the Manchester United fan has traded Bushtucker trials for several more pleasant media and streaming appearances.

And on February 5, ahead of night one of the Premier League Darts, a video of Ginge playing the sport emerged online, leaving fans impressed with some even calling for him to have a go at Q-School (Qualifying School) – which gives darts players the chance to win a PDC Tour Card.

A Tour Card allows players to enter every Players Championship and European Tour event.

During the clip, Ginge checked out at 151, and fans were quick to react on social media.

One said: “If Angry Ginge is doing stuff like this on the regular, I don’t see why he can’t give Q-School a crack. He seems like a decent little player, and his throw is very, very solid.”

Another added: “People hate it cause he’s an ‘influencer’. They’d have no issue if he weren’t famous. Guaranteed, there are worse players in Q-school than him.

“My question is, would he go by his real name, or would they unironically call him “Ginge"?"

A third claimed: “I don’t understand why it got people's backs up. If you had the money, and it was no object, surely as a big Darts fan, you’d give it a crack for the experience. And given the fact he actually is better than the average player (and has time to practice), I’d definitely say go.”

But would Ginge really take the plunge and aim to become a professional by entering Q-School?

Well, according to a recent interview with Oche 180, the answer to that question appears to be yes.

“I might go to Q-School next year, though,” said Ginge.

“Not to win, because I know I won’t win.

“Just to see what it’s like. The more pressure you’re under, the more you get used to it.

“In darts, your hands are shaking and everything.

“Darts is mainly about who’s got the biggest bottle.”

Littler has also urged his friend to enter Q-School, but insisted that he won’t give him any helpful advice.

“Yeah, obviously it's hard,” Littler said on Wednesday (February 4).

“I didn't go through Q-school, so I don't know what it's like to play in there, but obviously, I see some of the results every year, and people are losing with like 105 averages, but obviously, for Ginge himself, if he gets the luck of the draw, he could win a few games.

"If he wants to do a few hours a day constantly, then he'd obviously get better himself. But yeah, we'll see him at Q School one day.”
