Luke Littler has made it clear that he has no intention of following his friend Angry Ginge into the jungle after the YouTuber’s recent victory on a reality TV show set around a campfire.
Despite being one of the first to congratulate Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, on winning ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here,’ Littler, the darts world champion, is firm in his decision not to participate in the challenging bushtucker trials no matter the offer.
The 18-year-old darts prodigy from Warrington firmly stated that he draws the line at consuming unappealing jungle delicacies like kangaroo anus or crocodile genitalia for the entertainment of hosts Ant and Dec. Littler expressed his reluctance, emphasizing his aversion to being far away from home, enduring long flights, and consuming unusual foods.
Reflecting on the show and the daunting challenges faced by contestants, Littler affirmed his decision by highlighting the discomfort he witnessed, particularly in the trials undertaken by rapper Aitch. He made it clear that he would never consider subjecting himself to such ordeals.
Burtwistle, aged 24, emerged as the winner of the reality show, with Tom Read Wilson as the runner-up and ‘Eastenders’ star Shona McGarty securing third place after spending three weeks in the Australian rainforest.
In the final bushtucker trial, Angry Ginge faced various challenges, including having snakes and critters placed on his head in a task called ‘Helmet of Hell,’ while Read Wilson had to consume unconventional foods like camel’s brain and pig’s reproductive organ.
Meanwhile, Littler celebrated his friend’s triumph in Australia by attending a Manchester United match at Molineux, where the team secured a 4-1 victory over Wolves. The world No.1 darts player was even spotted on TV cameras among United’s fans, next to the head of fan engagement, Rick McGagh.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes acknowledged Littler’s presence at the game by responding to his tweet about enjoying his first away game with a darts emoji.
