The carefully constructed illusion of isolation on “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!” shattered this year with a pre-show pact between two unlikely contenders. Rapper Aitch confessed to a clandestine conversation with fellow campmate, known as Angry Ginge, just days before entering the Australian jungle.
Their discussion wasn’t about survival strategies or potential alliances, but a bold, unwavering commitment: Manchester *had* to win. Aitch revealed they explicitly agreed that one of them would secure the coveted crown, regardless of the challenges ahead.
“We spoke a couple days beforehand saying ‘Are you ready for this? Yeah, let’s go. Let’s go,’” Aitch explained. The stakes were clear – a victory for their city, a symbolic return of the jungle’s honor to Manchester’s streets.
The plan unfolded with remarkable precision. Angry Ginge ultimately triumphed, becoming the 2025 King of the Jungle in a landslide victory. He captured a commanding 53% of the vote in the final three, then surged to an impressive 65% against “Celebs Go Dating” receptionist Tom Read Wilson.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Ginge expressed his disbelief to hosts Ant and Dec. “I feel amazing. Honestly, dream come true,” he said, acknowledging the incredible support that propelled him to victory. “I did not think I’d go all this way, never mind win.”
The final vote revealed the depth of Ginge’s appeal, with Read Wilson receiving 35% of the votes. Aitch, narrowly missing out on the final buffet meals, had already departed the jungle, confident his pre-show agreement would come to fruition.
Ginge celebrated his win with a feast befitting a king – a Coke, a double cheeseburger and chips, pepperoni pizza, chicken tenders, and a decadent carrot cake. He savored each bite, emphasizing the significance of their hard-earned reward.
“Do you know what makes this even better?” Ginge declared. “The fact we’ve earned it. We’ve suffered trial after trial, challenge after challenge.” The victory wasn’t just personal; it was a testament to their resilience and a fulfillment of a promise made before the cameras even rolled.
The pre-show agreement raises questions about the spirit of the competition, but undeniably adds a fascinating layer to this year’s “I’m A Celebrity” narrative. A secret pact, a city’s pride, and a jungle crown – the story of Aitch and Angry Ginge is one that will be remembered long after the cameras stopped rolling.
