Mark Wright shared a cheeky response to I’m A Celebrity winner Angry Ginge’s crush on his wife, Michelle Keegan.
Last night saw the internet personality, 24, crowned the latest King of the Jungle, beating soap icon Shona McGarty and The Voice’s Tom Read Wilson to the title.
During his time on the ITV reality show, Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, admitted to fellow contestant Ruby Wax that he has a thing for Coronation Street star Keegan, 38, who wed Made In Chelsea’s Wright, 38, in 2015.
When asked who would ‘turn his head’ while walking down the street, the Twitch streamer said he thought the mother-of-one was ‘beautiful.’
‘I would say, “Hi Michelle, I hope you’re doing well. I’m just wondering if I can get your Instagram, please?”‘ he revealed.

Speaking on Heart Radio, Wright jokingly warned Ginge to ‘stay away’ from his partner.
He told co-host Olly Murs: ‘So listen, I don’t mind him saying that my wife is his dream woman, but saying I’m going to approach her while she’s married?
‘Maybe he doesn’t know, I’m just gonna take it that Ginge doesn’t know. If you know Ginge, then we’re going to have some problems; if you don’t know, then I’ll let you off.’
Olly suggested that Mark take it as a compliment as she’s also his ‘dream woman’, after all, to which he responded: ‘She is my dream woman, she’s mine – Ginge, stay away!’
During his time on the show, Ginge opened up on the devastating moment he was dumped by an ex-girlfriend while livestreaming on Twitch back in 2022.
‘I had to carry on [the live stream] for six more hours,’ he told his fellow campmates.
Speaking just moments after being awarded his crown by I’m A Celebrity’s 2024 winner Danny Jones, the YouTuber told presenters Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: ‘I feel amazing. Honestly, [it’s a] dream come true.
‘I did not think I’d go all this way. Never mind win, so thank you to everyone who voted.’
Shortly after leaving the show, Ginge was able to confront his co-stars after one of the show’s biggest bust-ups.
Among the biggest controversies in camp was none other than ‘Milkgate’, which saw Kelly Brook come clean about secretly eating half of the milk bottle sweets from a challenge days prior when she was evicted.
With their co-conspirator out of the way, Ginge and Aitch blamed Kelly for the incident.
‘We’ve got a bunch of people here who want a word with you,’ Dec told him as he reunited with the rest of the cast moments before winning the show.
‘You and Aitch covered up the milk bottle theft. But you haven’t fully come clean yet, have you Ginge? What’ve you got to say for yourself?”
‘I must’ve missed that! You’re joking,’ he quipped as everyone laughed, while he pretended to be surprised to find out there were 20 sweets originally.
Dec continued: ‘You threw Kelly under the bus when you said, “It was all Kelly’s idea.” Is there anything you’d like to say to everybody now they’re gathered here?’
‘Yeah,’ he paused. ‘They were really nice!’
Thankfully, everyone was howling laughing at his honest response, especially when Ant asked if it was ‘worth it’, and he insisted: ‘It was indeed!’
