Luke Littler firmly states that he has no intention of following his friend Angry Ginge into the wilderness despite the YouTuber’s recent victory on a popular reality TV show. The renowned darts champion, gearing up for the Professional Darts Corporation title defense at Alexandra Palace, congratulated Angry Ginge, also known as Morgan Burtwistle, on his triumph in “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.”
Refusing to partake in the nerve-wracking bushtucker trials, Littler, the 18-year-old darts star from Warrington, is resolute about not subjecting himself to consuming bizarre foods like kangaroo anus or crocodile genitalia for the entertainment of hosts Ant and Dec. He expressed his clear aversion by stating, “I would not venture into the jungle myself. Watching the show, I have realized it’s not something I could endure. The distance from home, coupled with the unappetizing challenges, is just not something I can handle.”
Luke Littler, witnessing the challenges faced by contestants on the show, particularly highlighting rapper Aitch’s trial, firmly declared to his girlfriend that he will never participate in such extreme conditions. Meanwhile, Angry Ginge emerged victorious as the King of the Jungle after a three-week stint in the Australian rainforest, with Tom Read Wilson securing the runner-up position and EastEnders actress Shona McGarty finishing third.
In his final bushtucker trial, Angry Ginge faced snakes and critters in a nerve-wracking stunt dubbed the “Helmet of Hell,” while Read Wilson consumed unconventional foods such as camel’s brain and pig’s reproductive organ. Littler, showing support for his friend’s achievement, celebrated by attending a football match between Manchester United and Wolves, where he was spotted on TV cameras alongside United’s head of fan engagement, Rick McGagh.
Responding to Littler’s tweet about his enjoyable “first away day,” Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, who scored twice in the match, acknowledged the darts champion with a darts emoji.
