BREAKING: AngryGinge bags MASSIVE brand deal bonanza: YouTube sensation Brandon set to rake in £5MILLION after I’m A Celebrity triumph – from Red Bull renewal to JD Sports upgrade and more as the new King of the Jungle cashes in big time!
AngryGinge – real name Brandon (Morgan Burtwistle) – is laughing all the way to the bank after his jaw-dropping victory on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2025, with insiders revealing he’s already locked in a string of lucrative brand deals that could see him pocket a staggering £5 million in the coming year alone!
The 24-year-old Twitch streamer and YouTube star, who stormed to the crown in December 2025 with a record-breaking 13 million public votes – the highest in at least a decade – has gone from viral chip-rant clips to national treasure status overnight. And now, the post-jungle glow-up is in full swing: major brands are queuing up to sign the fiery Mancunian, turning his three-week stint in the Aussie outback into a golden ticket to riches.
A source close to the star spilled exclusively to The Sun: ‘Ginge is set to rake in excess of £5million in 2026 thanks to a wave of major brand deals, TV opportunities and commercial tie-ins coming his way.’ Even before he crossed that infamous bridge as King of the Jungle, his team was fielding calls from heavy-hitters eager to capitalise on his skyrocketing popularity.
Top of the list? Energy drink giant Red Bull has already re-signed him as an ambassador for 2026 – one of their sponsored gamers – after loving his high-energy antics in camp. ‘They absolutely adore him,’ the insider added. ‘His passion, his rants, his never-say-die spirit – it’s perfect for their brand.’
Then there’s JD Sports, the high-street sportswear powerhouse he’s partnered with throughout 2025. Insiders say they’re ‘looking to elevate their partnership to a much bigger level’ next year – think bigger campaigns, exclusive drops, and perhaps even his own limited-edition line. With AngryGinge’s streetwear obsession and Manchester roots, it’s a match made in retail heaven.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. His reps are in ‘active discussions’ with multiple global brands, from gaming tech giants to lifestyle labels like Puma (he’s already linked up before), and whispers suggest even bigger fish like Adidas, Nike, or Umbro could be circling. PR expert Lynn Carratt told The Sun: ‘He’s got a great personality – relatable, a bit fiery, and funny. If he lands Adidas or Nike, hello £3 million-plus in a year!’ She added that gaming collabs, streetwear drops with Boohoo Men, or fizzy drink tie-ups with Pepsi or Coca-Cola ‘make perfect sense.’
The jungle exposure has been a game-changer. AngryGinge – who shot to fame with hilarious FIFA rants, Man United match reactions, and that iconic ‘chips’ outburst that went mega-viral – entered the show as a wildcard content creator. He wasn’t your typical celeb: no soap star polish or pop idol gloss, just raw, unfiltered energy that won over the nation. Viewers fell hard for his emotional chats about family (making his mum proud was a recurring theme), his vulnerability during trials, and his bromance with rapper Aitch.
Despite missing out on lucrative Christmas brand deals and a month of streaming income (sources say he lost hundreds of thousands by stepping away from his channels), the payoff has been monumental. He reportedly pocketed a £100,000 appearance fee for the show – standard for his profile – but the real money is in the aftermath. No cash prize for winning (I’m A Celeb doesn’t hand out winner’s cheques), but the exposure? Priceless.
Social media exploded post-victory. AngryGinge was mobbed by fans at his hotel return, with clips of him beaming in the crown going viral. ITV bosses are said to be eyeing him for presenting gigs – perhaps as a new face on spin-offs or panel shows. ‘He’s the perfect fit for The Last Leg, A League of Their Own, or comedy formats,’ Lynn Carratt predicted. Book deals are rumoured too – imagine his memoir: from bedroom streaming to King of the Jungle!
His journey was anything but smooth. Early trials saw him scream through Bushtucker horrors like Vomit Vortex and Freaky Feast, but he powered on, earning stars and laughs. Campmates praised his work ethic: cooking, mediating rows, keeping spirits high. Even when airtime felt light compared to drama queens, fans defended him: ‘Ginge is the real deal – humble, funny, emotional. Deserved winner!’
Beating runner-up Tom Read Wilson (Celebs Go Dating star) and third-placed Shona McGarty (ex-EastEnders), AngryGinge became the first content creator to claim the crown – a landmark moment for streamers and YouTubers. ‘I feel amazing. Honestly, it’s a dream come true,’ he told Ant and Dec on the final. ‘I did not think I’d go all this way, never mind win.’
Family pride shone through. His mum’s reaction? Pure joy. ‘He just wanted to make her proud,’ sources said. Post-show, he’s teased bigger things: potential Spandau-style reunions? No – but perhaps Man United fan events, Soccer Aid returns (he’s played before), or Baller League expansions.
The £5m forecast isn’t pie-in-the-sky. Past winners like Danny Jones (2024) and Nigel Farage saw huge spikes, but AngryGinge’s digital-native status gives him an edge: built-in audience, Gen-Z appeal, endless merch potential. His net worth was already £800k-£1.1m pre-jungle; experts say it could triple or more.
Social media is buzzing. Fan pages post edits of his camp moments set to his viral clips, hashtags #KingGinge and #AngryGinge trending. One viral tweet: ‘From £450 a month dinner lady job to £5m deals? Ginge’s glow-up is insane!’ (He once joked about earning peanuts as a school helper.)
As 2026 dawns, AngryGinge is plotting his empire. Red Bull ads incoming, JD campaigns ramping up, TV offers piling high. The kid who started with FIFA streams has conquered the jungle – and now the commercial world.
From ranting about chips to ruling the outback, Brandon’s story is the ultimate underdog triumph. Brands aren’t just signing him – they’re betting on a phenomenon. And with his fire still burning, this King isn’t stepping down anytime soon.
Watch this space: the AngryGinge era is just beginning, and it’s set to be massively profitable!
