Darts star Luke Littler has fired a jab at his mate Angry Ginge after the King of the Jungle failed to show up and support him at the World Darts Championship opener
Luke Littler had some choice words for pal Angry Ginge after the I’m A Celeb star failed to support him at a darts show. The darts star was competing in the World Darts Championship opener to start off his title defence, but his mate was no where to be seen.
Last year, Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, was cheering Luke on from the sidelines. But as Luke took on Darius Labanauskas at Alexandra Palace on 11 December, the recently crowned King of the Jungle was not in attendance, despite having flown back from Australia the day before.
Two members of Ginge’s streaming group The Bov Boys, Tays and Chazza, were in attendance, and when Luke saw they had come without their redheaded friend, he took to his Instagram to fire back at Ginge. “Too big for the darts now I see. Won the jungle have we?” the 18-year-old wrote.

Ginge was crowned the winner of I’m A Celeb this year, beating out Celebs Go Dating’s Tom Read Wilson and EastEnders‘ Shona McGarty. After watching his friend on the show, Luke made it clear that he would not do the show.
“No I actually wouldn’t. No,” he said, before addressing his prior words about the show. I’d said I would for the right money, but I’ve been watching it now, and no, I just couldn’t. No way.”
He added that he didn’t want to “eat that stuff” that they had to in camp, such as black chicken and ostrich. Luke also said that he felt the first two tasks this year were especially difficult and turned him off doing the show.
In particular, he was put off by the second task that Aitch had to do. The rapper had to crawl through a bunker infested with bugs and snakes to collect stars for the camp dinner.
Though Ginge was crowned the winner, he did say that he did not do the show in order to win it. “I didn’t do it to become King. I did for the experience,” the streamer said after leaving the jungle.
After his win, he said: ““I’ve always said that I am the master of the mind, but that was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. There were so many days that I wanted to throw in the towel. The toughest part was the spiders!”
Ginge was thought to have been paid £100,000 to do the show. This was not the most amount of money a contestant was said to have gotten, as Aitch was thought to have been paid double.
