Luke Littler firmly states that he has no intention of following his friend Angry Ginge into the jungle, despite the YouTuber’s recent victory on the reality TV show. Angry Ginge, also known as Morgan Burtwistle, won the popular show “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here” on Sunday, and Littler, a world champion darts player, commended his achievement. However, Littler, who is gearing up to defend his Professional Darts Corporation title at Alexandra Palace, expressed his refusal to participate in the challenging bushtucker trials featured on the show.
The 18-year-old darts prodigy from Warrington drew the line at consuming unappetizing jungle delicacies like kangaroo anus or crocodile penis, which are part of the show’s notorious challenges. Littler emphasized that even for the right financial incentive, he would not subject himself to the grueling conditions of the jungle. He expressed his apprehension about being far away from home, enduring long flights, and consuming unpalatable food items. Observing the trials on the show, especially the ones involving rapper Aitch, solidified Littler’s decision to steer clear of such experiences.
Burtwistle, aged 24, emerged as the winner of the show, claiming the title of King of the Jungle after spending three weeks in the Australian rainforest. In one of his final challenges, he faced snakes and critters in a trial called Helmet of Hell, while another contestant, Tom Read Wilson, consumed camel’s brain and pig’s vagina.
Despite his aversion to jungle trials, Littler celebrated his friend’s victory by attending a Manchester United match at Molineux stadium, where the team secured a 4-1 victory against Wolves. Littler, who holds the top spot in the darts world, was spotted on TV cameras alongside Rick McGagh, the head of fan engagement for Manchester United. Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, acknowledged Littler’s tweet about his enjoyable experience at the match with a darts emoji.
