Angry Ginge Given 'Secret Code Name' by ITV Producers on I'm A Celeb

Angry Ginge's secret code name from the I'm a Celebrity producers at ITV has been revealed.

The streamer and content creator has been a huge hit on this year's edition of the jungle show and is one of the favourites to go all the way alongside his fellow Mancunian and rapper pal Aitch.

He has taken maximum stars from the two trials he has participated in and was appointed camp leader for the bravery he has displayed.

Reportedly paid £100,000 to go on the show, the die-hard Manchester United fan will almost definitely be inundated with mainstream offers off the back of the show as his popularity continues to soar.

Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, ticked off one of his career goals in appearing on the show but had to keep things quiet until he touched down in Australia and the official announcement came from ITV.

In order to avoid any leaks and keep things under wraps, producers on the show come up with codes names for all the talent involved.

According to The Sun, Kelly Brook was known as "River” as a nod to her surname being a way to describe a small stream and Martin Kemp getting called “Barre” as a reference to being in Spandau Ballet.

Ginge, meanwhile, was given the moniker 'Spice - an easy connection with his hair colour and ginger being a form of spice. An insider told The Sun that I'm a Celeb chiefs see him as "ITV’s secret ingredient to spice things up and bring in new viewers this year".

So far the experiment is working a treat with

ratings said to be strong, particularly in segments involving Ginge.

Although he developed a reputation for his rants and meltdowns, Ginge has been on fine form throughout and is clearly well thought of by his fellow campmates.

He was firmly on ITV's radar after a strong showing in his debut at Soccer Aid at Old Trafford, where he was named Man of the Match despite England's 5-4 loss to the World XI.

His loved ones, including his mum and nan who raised him in a council estate in Eccles, Salford, were in attendance to see the 24-year-old battle with former United and City star Carlos Tevez.

He got his shirt signed by all of the players from Soccer Aid but made an exception for Tevez, whose signature he refused.
