Popular British streamer and content creator **AngryGinge** has sent fans into a frenzy with a bold tease about a potential **major career pivot** that could take him far beyond his usual world of gaming, football rants, and online entertainment.
The 24-year-old, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, has built an enormous following since launching his Twitch channel during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Known for his fiery FIFA streams, hilarious football commentary, and unfiltered personality, he has amassed over 1.5 million followers on Twitch and nearly a million subscribers on YouTube. His relatable humor—often punctuated by the catchphrase “Gingers do have souls”—resonates deeply with fans, especially fellow Manchester United supporters.
His breakout year in 2025 was nothing short of meteoric. He took on the challenge of **I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!**, entering the jungle as one of the contestants and ultimately emerging victorious as the “King of the Jungle” on December 7, 2025. The experience not only boosted his mainstream visibility but also earned him significant earnings, including £100,000 from the show itself, contributing to a reported £1.2 million in media income over the past year. Fresh off that triumph, he treated himself to his first home, a £420,000 purchase that symbolized his remarkable rise from a council estate in Greater Manchester.
Just recently, on the heels of accompanying his close friend and darts phenom **Luke Littler** to the **2026 PDC World Darts Championship final**, AngryGinge dropped a bombshell that has darts enthusiasts buzzing. Deeply passionate about the sport—he’s long expressed his love for both playing and watching it—he revealed he’s seriously contemplating a dramatic shift: attempting to qualify for the professional darts circuit.
He’s hinted at entering **Q-School** next year, the rigorous qualification process where aspiring players compete for coveted spots on the **PDC tour**. This isn’t just idle chatter; his growing friendship with Littler, the current world number one and a two-time champion, has immersed him even further in the high-stakes world of professional darts. Being ringside for such a prestigious event appears to have ignited a genuine ambition.
“I’ve loved darts for ages,” he has shared in various streams and interviews, noting how his bond with top players has only amplified that passion. The idea of trading his streaming setup for a dartboard under the bright lights of Alexandra Palace might sound outrageous to some, but for AngryGinge, it’s the kind of audacious move that fits his unpredictable style. Fans have reacted with a mix of excitement and playful disbelief, with some darts supporters welcoming the potential chaos of a red-haired, trash-talking newcomer shaking up the oche.
This isn’t his only career evolution on the horizon. Following his jungle win, he landed his first major post-show gig: hosting duties at the upcoming **BRIT Awards** at Manchester’s Co-op Live arena. “The city I started my comedy career in, it feels like a real full circle moment returning to host this historic night at the Co-op Live,” he said excitedly. “A venue that is only a stone’s throw away from the comedy club I did my first 10-minute set in all those years ago. Hopefully, I get a few more laughs than I did that night. I cannot wait.”
The announcement underscores his expanding footprint in entertainment. Industry insiders have tipped him for lucrative brand partnerships and TV opportunities that could push his earnings well into the millions in 2026. Whether he’s cracking jokes on stage, managing grassroots football teams like Yanited FC, or—most shockingly—chasing a PDC tour card, one thing is clear: AngryGinge refuses to stay boxed in.
From humble beginnings in Salford, where his mum worked multiple jobs to keep the family afloat, to rubbing shoulders with global stars and contemplating a leap into professional sports, his journey inspires countless creators and fans. This latest tease reminds everyone why he’s become such a phenomenon—his willingness to take risks and keep audiences guessing keeps the momentum going strong.
As 2026 unfolds, all eyes will be on whether this darts dream becomes reality or remains a fun “what if.” Either way, AngryGinge’s next chapter promises to be as entertaining as ever.
