Just hours before his Soccer Aid performance, AngryGinge’s mother’s home was destroyed in a house fire, leaving him sad.
The 24-year-old YouTuber posted an update from his mother’s home on Instagram on Tuesday following the fire damage.
On Sunday night, AngryGinge and his England side raised money for UNICEF by winning the charity football trophy.
But he clarified that he got a call on Sunday morning before to the charity game informing him that his mother Michelle’s home had burned down.
Speaking through a mask to shield himself from the smoke and dust, he demonstrated the devastation to the audience while standing in what had been the living room.
“So as you can tell, you wouldn’t think it, but right now I am in my mum’s house,” he said to his admirers.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, I’m A Celeb winner AngryGinge disclosed that his mother’s house had burned down in a house fire, leaving him sad.
Speaking under a mask to shield himself from the smoke and dust, he demonstrated the devastation to fans while standing in what had been the living room. “Morning of Soccer Aid” I receive a call informing me that my mother’s house has burned down. “This is what we are dealing with now, obviously there will be more updates, but at the moment, I mean yeah.”
“This isn’t even the worst of the worst,” he went on. We are currently working on this. I’ll be live whenever I can, and I’ll keep you all informed.
AngryGinge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, alarmed supporters on Monday night when he revealed that a family issue prevented him from going live on social media.
“Just letting you all know that I probably won’t be live tonight as we had a major family issue the morning of yesterday,” he wrote. I appreciate you all and thank you for your unwavering support. There are a lot of things that need to be resolved, but I’ll try to be alive when I can.
“The support last night cheered me up massively of what I needed, but atm I need to be with my family and make sure everything is ok,” he continued, thanking supporters for his Soccer Aid experience. I hope to see you soon. I adore you.
Ginge’s mother reared him in a Salford council estate while Michelle worked several jobs, such as a cleaner and in a care facility, earning £12,500 annually to support Morgan and his sister.
“We lived in a rough area for gangs, it could have easily gone that way for him,” she previously stated to The Daily Mail.
AngryGinge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, alarmed supporters on Monday night when he revealed that a family issue prevented him from going live on social media. “But we kept him busy with the after-school clubs – cubs, football, theatre, rugby and he loved them all,” he said.
“”He was also a cheerleader,” she chuckled. “Out of all the schools in the area, they actually won a competition.”
Michelle disclosed that she sobbed after witnessing him cry on I’m A Celebrity in December, when he was spotted missing his family and experiencing homesickness.
“It’s a bit of a s**t day really, I just feel as though I’m missing home, speaking to my family, food and drink as well is a massive part, but they say you have up days and down days,” he wrote in the Bush Telegraph.
Ginge paused and said, “I’m holding it in,” as he started to cry. I guess it’s simply one of my bad days.
Michelle, the star’s mother, talked about how she felt about the poignant scenes before traveling to Australia with the other celebrities’ families.
“I haven’t been able to watch the entire episode yet because I’ve been traveling, but I saw a clip on TikTok,” she said to The Sun.
I began to cry as my heart completely collapsed.
“I just can’t wait to give him the biggest hug on that bridge.” “It was really difficult to see, because I know Morgan is such a strong person, so he must have been struggling a lot.”
