‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ contestant Angry Ginge could lose his appearance fee if he fails to do a certain thing on the show.
Twenty-four-year-old content creator Angry Ginge – real name Morgan Burtwistle – and nine other celebrities are currently taking part in the popular reality show based in New South Wales, Australia.
The Salford-born YouTuber, who supports Premier League club Manchester United, is joined by rapper Aitch, musician Martin Kemp, model Kelly Brook, comedian Ruby Wax, actresses Shona McGartey and Lisa Riley, as well as Jack Osbourne, former England star Alex Scott, and presenter Eddie Kadi.
And on Monday (November 17), Angry Ginge took part in the first eating challenge of the series, having earlier avoided skydiving from a helicopter in episode one.

The popular streamer made a decent impression with viewers during episode one when he won a challenge, which earned him a spot in the ‘luxury getaway car’ with Aitch, Kadi, and Osbourne.
The quartet bagged a steak dinner and luxury beds for their efforts before Ginge and Wax were voted to do the eating challenge dubbed ‘The Divey’.
The duo were forced to contend with camel toe, a pig’s testicle, crocodile's anus, snails, a witchetty grub, cockroaches, and mealworms, but to their credit, returned to camp with ten stars.
Once more, the public seemed to enjoy his quick wit. But the Baller League coach needs to ensure one thing happens, or he may risk forfeiting his fee for the show.
As reported by the Mail, Ginge is set to pocket £100,000 for taking part in the show, while Aitch is thought to be the best paid, with the Manchester rapper set to pocket £250,000.
Kemp, Wax, Riley, and McGarty are said to be earning £95,000 for their respective appearances, with Brook set to get £80,000. Kadi – the lowest-paid contestant – will be paid £75,000. Osbourne is set to bank a tidy £200,000.
Scott is also set to receive the same amount as Ginge. But all ten members of the camp, including Ginge, must make sure they follow a strict rule to ensure they receive the cash.
As reported by the Metro, campmates must stay in the show for 72 hours to earn their full fee or risk missing out on a portion of their fee, although this has not been confirmed by ITV.
So effectively, if Ginge or any of the other campmates left before tonight's show, they could be financially penalised. Several participants have left before the 72-hour mark previously, with former Love Island star Olivia Attwood quitting on medical grounds after 24 hours in 2022. In 2023, Jamie Lynn Spears - sister of popstar Britney - also left after 24 hours on medical grounds.
