I’m A Celebrity 2025 winner crowned in series final

Spoiler warning: This article reveals details about the final of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

Social media star AngryGinge has been crowned king of the jungle in this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

The 24-year-old Mancunian content creator, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, emerged victorious in the ITV reality show’s final on Sunday after three weeks in the Australian camp.

“I feel amazing. Honestly, [it is a] dream come true,” said Ginge after becoming the winner of the show’s 25th regular series. “I did not think I’d go all this way, never mind win, so thank you to everyone who voted.”

He attracted 65% of the public vote in the final two, compared with 35% for Celebs Go Dating receptionist Tom Read Wilson, who was the runner-up.

Sunday’s finale saw three contestants each complete a bushtucker trial, earning them a dream three-course meal and drink in the jungle.

Ex-EastEnders star Shona McGarty also made the final but her jungle journey came to an end after she received the fewest public votes.

Ginge and Tom then joined hosts Ant and Dec, as well as the other contestants, for the announcement of the winner.

Mancunian rapper Aitch finished fourth and was evicted before the final, despite being the bookmakers’ favourite to win before the weekend.

Deputy Labour leader and Manchester Central MP Lucy Powell congratulated the winner.

“It was a Mancunian series and Manchester prevailed. Well done Ginge (and Aitch and co),” Powell wrote in a social media post.

An average of 6.4 million watched the I’m A Celebrity final live, according to overnight ratings – slightly lower than the 6.6 million who watched the Strictly Come Dancing results show on BBC One earlier in the evening.

The launch show in November attracted more than 10 million viewers, including catch-up, which ITV said was its biggest audience since Euro 2024.

The show has included the usual mix of potentially terrifying or revolting trials for the celebrities, including parachuting into the jungle, crawling through stinky slime and encountering creatures including crocodiles.

This year’s series also included a new rule, meaning individual contestants could not be voted to do every bushtucker trial for numerous days in a row.

Show bosses decided celebrities would only be able to do “two in a row and you miss a go” in order to “give all campmates the opportunity to shine”.

While the Telegraph only gave the final a two-star review, some fans on social media were happy, with one commenting on X: “Regardless who wins tonight I think this has been one of the best camps in a while.”

The Twitch community were thrilled with AngryGinge’s win, while there was also a lot of love for Tom, with one viewer noting on X: “I thought he was going to be a primadonna, a moaner, an overreactive crybaby. I was wrong – and refreshingly so.

“One of the most supportive, kind-hearted, and down-to-earth campmates we’ve had in ages, with a hint of elegance and poise. A real gentleman.”

The 12 celebrities also included comic and presenter Ruby Wax, model and radio presenter Kelly Brook, TV personality Jack Osbourne, comedian and radio presenter Eddie Kadi, Spandau Ballet star and actor Martin Kemp, football pundit Alex Scott, TV presenter Vogue Williams and Emmerdale star Lisa Riley.

Ahead of the final, Ginge’s sister Tasha Burtwistle revealed getting on I’m a Celebrity had been one of his “bucket list” items.

Ginge has become known for his rants about football and his team Manchester United, and continued this in the jungle, with an outburst after finding out they had been beaten by Everton while he had been away.

In 2021, he exploded in popularity when he uploaded a fictional hissy fit about struggling to get chips on a night out.

He has turned into one of the most popular streamers in the UK with 1.4 million followers and found more fans in the jungle, thanks to his practical jokes, banter with Aitch, disgust at having to wash too many dishes, and sweet stealing.
