I'm A Celebrity winner Angry Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, has shared a heartbreaking social media message about his cousin Harley's passing at just 19. The 24-year-old influencer wore a black armband during a recent football match to honor his family member from Manchester. He's urging fans to support the family's GoFundMe for funeral costs.
Oh, the tea just got real emotional, darlings. Morgan Burtwistle, better known as Angry Ginge and fresh off his I'm A Celebrity crown, dropped a gut-punch post on social media this Friday. His cousin Harley, that vibrant 19-year-old Manchester lad, tragically passed away two weeks ago on Saturday, January 10th. 😢
Morgan didn't hold back, explaining his black armband at the Match For Hope football game: "I will be wearing a black arm band like footballers do when you lose someone. Two weeks ago, one of my cousins Harley passed away, he was only 19 and a Manchester lad as usual, same place as we're all from."
He got real about rallying support too, per the Express: "So I'm wearing the arm band for him, for his family and so I thought I'd let you all know beforehand. He's also got a GoFundMe if you want to donate a quid or 50p if you can or a fiver - anything you can, feel free." And plot twist? Morgan himself chipped in a generous £3,000, adding, "I've also donated so I'm not doing one of those things where you do and I don't, don't worry, but yeah it would mean the world to their family."
The GoFundMe? It's already smashed over £16,000 to ease the funeral burden. The tribute paints Harley as the ultimate light: "The smile he had could light up any room... a beautiful, funny, loving, mischievous, caring lad with his whole life ahead of him. He was the life and soul of any gathering... and let's not forget his rapping - we all know he loved a good rap."
This comes hot on the heels of Morgan splashing £420,000 on his first home – a sleek new build with all the bells and whistles, from hot tub to open-plan vibes. But right now, it's all about family. Fans, if you're feeling the love, hit that donate button. Will this outpouring keep Harley's spirit shining forever? 💔
