I’m A Celeb star Angry Ginge could have had a game plan to get to the final with Aitch, as they were friends before going in and will ‘naturally lift each other up’. It comes as Ginge, 24, and Aitch, 25, are now the bookies’ joint-favourites to be crowned king.
Ginge’s mate Freddy Doneorrell has opened up on the campmates’ relationship and believes they may have had a chat before heading to the jungle and pointed out that you ‘don’t really see two good friends go in’.
Freddy, a social media executive, said: “I don’t actually know anything on that side, but they definitely would have spoken. They’ll naturally lift each other up in there. When you’ve got two real mates with that kind of chemistry and mutual respect, it just gives them both a boost all the way through, so I think that’ll massively help.”

He went on to tell The Sun: “You don’t really see two very good friends go in. If anything was discussed beforehand, it would’ve been about looking out for each other and keeping spirits high. That’s just who they are.I think they both want the best for each other and 100 per cent they will want to help each other through to the final.”

Ginge’s popularity has been shown through his team revealing to The Mirror that they have been “inundated” with money-spinning offers since he entered the jungle – including a book deal, TV work and advertising campaigns.
A source close to Angry Ginge said: “Since the moment Ginge stepped foot in the jungle, the commercial interest has gone through the roof.
“He’s been absolutely inundated with offers, far more than anyone predicted. Brands have very quickly clocked that he’s not just a viral creator; he’s genuinely relatable, he speaks the language of real people, and he connects with an audience that many big companies have struggled to reach.”

They are particularly interested in his “authenticity”, having grown up in a council flat with his mum and sister. The source added: “It’s why he’s already being approached for several major long-term global ambassadorships with household-name retailers who want him fronting their campaigns the second he’s out.
“They see him as someone who can shift perception, shift product, and bring in audiences that traditional advertising doesn’t touch.”
