AngryGinge has revealed that his mother likely would not have been able to escape if she had been in the house at the time it burned down before Soccer Aid.

Ginge represented England at Soccer Aid and won his second consecutive Player of the Match award for his performance at Wembley.

He played at the match despite receiving a call on the morning of the match that mum Michelle's house had burned down.

Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, posted a live video from what appeared to be the front room of the burnt down house to Instagram on Monday, stating it didn't show 'the worst of the worst' of the damage.

AngryGinge gives update after mum's house fire

In a live stream posted to his Twitch account on Wednesday, Ginge revealed that his mum was not at home at the time of the fire, and that her pets sadly passed away.

"The main thing is that my mum is okay, that's the main thing," he stated.

"But in my head, naturally, the fire brigade said... and this is the biggest shock to me, if my mum was in the house, she wouldn't have made it out.

"As I soon as I put the phone down, I rang who I needed to ring at Soccer Aid to say, 'Look, I won't be at the briefing. I've just had this news'.

"I suppose that's the fortunate thing, that she wasn't there, because she was obviously in London for Soccer Aid. So that's the main thing. That's how bad it was."

On the day of the fire, Ginge was among the England team that beat the World XI 3-2 in the annual charity match at Wembley.

He teamed up with former England players Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott, Jermain Defoe, Jill Scott and Toni Duggan, while a number of fellow celebrities made appearances.

Jack Whitehall, Olly Murs, Danny Dyer, GK Barry and Tom Hiddleston were among those to take part in the fixture, which raises money for children's charity UNICEF.
