On the latest series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, two of the biggest personalities in this year’s camp are Aitch and Angry Ginge — and while their on-screen antics have been a hit, fans might not realize that they’re actually very good friends off-camera too. The rapper and the content creator have known each other for years, long before heading to the Aussie jungle together.

Although many of their fellow campmates are still getting to know each other, Aitch and Ginge’s history gives them a bond that adds a unique dynamic to the show. Their friendship, built over several years, clearly plays out in their easy banter and mutual trust.

How Aitch and Angry Ginge’s Friendship Began

Aitch (real name Harrison Armstrong) and Angry Ginge (Morgan Burtwistle) are both from Greater Manchester, and they grew up only about half an hour apart — a proximity that laid the foundation for their close relationship (Manchester Evening News). The two officially connected around 2021, when they were introduced by YouTube personality Michael Taylor, better known as Tays.

Tays co-hosts a podcast with Angry Ginge called Tays & Ginge Off Stream, and Aitch has made frequent guest appearances. The three also stream together on Twitch and TikTok, where their dynamic personality shines. Their long-standing friendship predates their jungle adventure, providing them with a strong rapport as they face the challenges of reality TV together (Digital Spy).

Their Banter in the Jungle Is Already a Highlight

Since entering the camp, Aitch and Ginge’s playful rapport has become one of the most entertaining parts of the show. Early on, Aitch joked: “That’s not Ginge! I’ve come on the show to get away from people like Angry Ginge.”

Producers reportedly saw the chemistry between the two as a huge plus when signing them on. An insider told MailOnline that pairing Aitch and Ginge was “a stroke of pure genius.” The source added: “They’re best friends … it might be a risk as they’re both so boisterous but it’s new and nothing I’m A Celeb has seen before … Their banter and chemistry is off the charts … in the Jungle, it’s bound to be a success.”

This kind of genuine friendship is rare on reality TV, where alliances often feel manufactured. Their long history gives them a natural edge (Radio Times analysis).

When the Dust Settles: Ginge Has Aitch’s Back

Their friendship extends beyond the jungle — earlier this year, Angry Ginge publicly defended Aitch when fellow rapper Central Cee released a diss track. In the track, Central Cee ridiculed Aitch’s BRIT Award win by saying, “I felt like a [bleep] when I went to the BRITs they gave the award to a guy called Aitch.”

Ginge responded in a voice message, making it clear just how loyal he is:“Hiya mate … I’ve heard what’s been going on about this Central Cee song. Obviously, I’m here ready to go to war for you … if you want me to get the [bleep] baseball bat out … we’re [bleep] going at it, you just let me know, mate … see what he says there.”

The message went viral among Aitch’s fan base, showing that their friendship isn’t just for the cameras — it’s real and deeply supportive (The Guardian, celebrity news).

Will Their Jungle Bond Survive — and Grow?

Watching Aitch and Angry Ginge together in the I’m A Celebrity camp, viewers are witnessing more than just entertainment — they’re seeing the comfort and strength that comes from years of friendship. While the jungle is tough and unpredictable, their shared history provides them with a strong foundation.

As the season progresses, the big question remains: will the trials of the jungle bring them even closer? Or will the pressure expose cracks in their friendship? Either way, their pairing is proving to be one of the most genuine and engaging parts of the show.
