Ahead of his I’m a Celebrity debut, a picture of Angry Ginge kissing a blonde girl at the airport began circulating, leading many to question if he’s in a relationship.
However, it quickly emerged that the images were entirely AI-generated and therefore fake.
YouTube and Twitch stars Tays and Scousemali later released a video clarifying that he’s actually hoping to find love while Down Under.
Tays said: “Ginge told me before he went on there, that he’s going on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here to find a girlfriend. That is the reason he said he is going on I’m A Celebrity. He said that he is going there to find a girlfriend.”
What has Angry Ginge said about I’m a Celebrity 2025?
On why he decided to take part in the ITV1 series, the 24-year-old said: “I’ve watched the show on the sofa with my mum ever since I was a kid. To take part in it this year is something I couldn’t pass up on. But my whole life is spent on the phone. I’ve been away once for a week. And so, two to three weeks without it is going to be very educational to see how I will do.”
I’m a Celebrity starts on ITV1 on Sunday 16th November at 9pm.
