Luke Littler has made it clear that he has no intention of following his friend Angry Ginge into the jungle after the YouTuber’s recent victory on a reality TV show set around a campfire.
Despite being one of the first to congratulate Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, on winning “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here,” darts champion Littler is adamant that he will not participate in the challenging bushtucker trials at any cost.
The 18-year-old from Warrington, known as the Nuke, has firmly decided against subjecting himself to eating unappetizing items like kangaroo anus or crocodile penis, which are part of the show’s infamous challenges. Expressing his stance, Littler stated that he initially considered joining the jungle adventure for the right compensation but, upon further reflection, he is resolute in his decision not to partake in such experiences.
Reflecting on the intense trials featured on the show, Littler emphasized that after witnessing the challenges faced by other participants, particularly rapper Aitch, he is certain that he could not endure the same ordeal. He cited being far away from home, consuming unusual food, and the demanding conditions as reasons why he has no interest in participating in such an endeavor.
Burtwistle, aged 24, emerged as the winner of the reality show, with Tom Read Wilson coming in second and Eastenders actress Shona McGarty securing the third spot.
In the final bushtucker trial, Angry Ginge faced various challenges, including having snakes and critters placed on his head in a task called the “Helmet of Hell,” while Read Wilson consumed unconventional items like camel’s brain and pig’s vagina.
Celebrating his friend’s triumph in Australia, Littler attended a Manchester United football match at Molineux, where the team secured a 4-1 victory against Wolves. The world No.1 darts player was spotted on TV cameras alongside Manchester United’s head of fan engagement, Rick McGagh.
Manchester United’s captain, Bruno Fernandes, who scored twice during the match, responded to Littler’s tweet about enjoying his first away game with a darts emoji, showcasing the camaraderie between the two sports personalities.
