Appearing on the Off Stream podcast in May, Ginge – real name Morgan Burtwistle – admitted: “I actually do have another sister but never see her because she’s on my dad’s side and I grew up never seeing her.”
When asked if she had ever tried to reach out to him, Ginge responded: “Yeah, they did try and message my mum on Facebook after stuff had blown up, saying, ‘Just tell him congrats.’
“That’s nice but I’ve grown up with a sister on my mum’s side and a sister on my dad’s side. The sister on my mum’s side, I’ve seen all my life.
“And obviously I’ve got the sister on my dad’s side that I’ve never seen.

“So I suppose the only thing we have in common is that we’ve both got a d**k for a dad.”
The 25-year-old has opened up previously on no longer having a relationship with his father, claiming he dodged child maintenance payments and created an unstable childhood for the YouTuber.
TikTok users commented on the revelations with one person saying: “This literally sounds like my family life.”
Another penned: “Can’t blame a kid though because there’s no bond.”

Despite not having a relationship with his dad, Ginge is incredibly close to his mum Michelle.
She revealed her reaction to seeing her son sob during a recent episode of I’m A Celebrity where Ginge admitted to feeling homesick.
Ahead of touching down in Australia ready to support him from the bridge, Michelle told The Sun: “I haven’t managed to watch the full episode yet as I’ve been travelling, but I saw a clip on TikTok.
“My heart absolutely sank, I started crying.
“It was so hard to see, because I know Morgan is such a strong person, so he must have been struggling a lot.
“I just can’t wait to give him the biggest hug on that bridge.”

Mum was very much on Ginge’s mind when he signed up to appear in this year’s jungle series.
A source recently told The Sun: “He might act like one of the lads but Ginge is a mummy’s boy at heart.
“He puts her first and foremost in his life and feels he wants to repay her for all she sacrificed for him.
“His childhood was rocky and they didn’t have much. For Ginge, being on I’m a Celeb provides the opportunity to give his mum everything she could ever want. He’s doing it for her.”
