Mark Wright couldn’t resist marking his territory after learning AngryGinge has a crush on his wife Michelle Keegan.
The Twitch streamer, who won I’m A Celebrity on Sunday night beating Shona McGarty and Tom Read Wilson, recently admitted he thinks Keegan is “beautiful”.
Wright, 38, married the Coronation Street star, also 38, in 2015 and they share nine-month-old daughter Palma.
AngryGinge - real name Morgan Burtwistle - was asked by fellow contestant Ruby Wax in the jungle: “What’s your type and how do you approach a woman?”
The YouTube star, 24, responded: “Gotta be funny, gotta be spontaneous and allow me to have my own time when I need it.”
When quizzed on who would “turn his head” in the street, he added: “Michelle Keegan, I think she’s beautiful.”
Discussing how he would approach Keegan, he said: “I would be honest.
“I’d say, ‘Hi Michelle, I hope you’re doing well. I’m just wondering if I can get your Instagram please?’”
Wright jokingly warned AngryGinge to “stay away” from his wife, during his radio show on Heart FM on Monday.
“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?” he told co-host Olly Murs.
“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.”
Murs suggested Wright take it as a compliment as she’s also his “dream woman”, to which Wright replied: “She is my dream woman, she’s mine – Ginge, stay away!”
AngryGinge was quick to comply with Wright’s request when informed that the former TOWIE star had told him to back off.
He told The Sun in an interview hours later: “Right, OK. Definitely keep my distance if Mark Wright’s on to me.”
AngryGinge was crowned the new King of the Jungle with more than half of the vote at the weekend.
“I feel amazing. Honestly, (it is a) dream come true,” he told presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donelly.
“I did not think I’d go all this way, never mind win, so thank you to everyone who voted.”
Before the winner was announced, Read Wilson said AngryGinge should take the crown “Because he is the titan of the trials, and because he’s done such a lengthy stint.”
In her exit interview, McGarty, 34, said she had “learned a lot about myself” and described the show as “a bit of a healing process for me”.
As for what AngryGinge has planned for life post-jungle, his friends told the Standard he wants to keep it simple.
“I reckon he’ll just want to get straight back to streaming,” Heinz, one of the Bov Boys collective, said.
“He loves his community, he loves everyone who watches him, that’s his favourite thing to do.
“Even after ticking something this big off his bucket list, I think he’ll just want to go home, chill, see his family, have a cup of tea, and get back on stream.
“He’s so passionate about it, so that’s exactly what I can see him doing.”
The vlogger, who is from Salford, Manchester, is known for his FIFA and football-related content on social media.
AngryGinge started streaming FIFA on Twitch in 2020 and took it up full-time in 2021.
He has more than one million followers on Twitch, with hundreds of thousands more across other social media platforms.
He was reportedly paid around £100,000 to appear on I’m A Celebrity, according to The Sun.
“Like Aitch, he’s on big money,” a source told the outlet.
“He has the online fan numbers to make him an attractive prospect to ITV bosses desperate to make the show relevant to a younger audience.”
