Ginge – whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle – cried in the Bush Telegraph and said he was having a “down day”
‘My heart absolutely sank, I started crying.
‘It was so hard to see, because I know Morgan is such a strong person, so he must have been struggling a lot.
‘I just can’t wait to give him the biggest hug on that bridge.’
Elsewhere, Ginge was praised by viewers for his “10/10 reaction” to Jack Osbourne breaking down in tears.
Jack, 40, opened up to his fellow campmates about how the previous day had been “delicate” for him.
He shared with the group: ‘I was doing okay and then realised it was four months since my dad died.
‘Had a good cry with Eddie [Kadi]…’, then adding how happy he was to be in the camp.
Afterwards, Jack joked to Ginge, who was sitting next to him: ‘Promise I’ll never cry in front of you again, Ginge.’
To which the content creator – real name Morgan Burtwistle – replied: ‘It’s alright mate, men cry too.’
Speaking later in the Bush Telegraph, Ginge added: ‘Jack got a bit emotional because it was four months since his father passed.
‘I wanted him to speak about it because it’s good for him, his wellbeing. It’s good for the camp, it jut shows how comfortable we all are.’
Meanwhile, Tuesday’s (November 25) instalment saw Ginge confide in Ruby Wax about the brutal way his ex broke up with him.

Unfortunately, the relationship came to a brutal end as Ginge shared his ex broke up with him by text while he was livestreaming.
He added: ‘I had to carry on for six more hours.’
The pair also discussed Ginge’s mindset, after his “down day” and campmates telling him they weren’t impressed by fooling them into believing he performed poorly at the Bushtucker Trial.
Confirming he was in a better mood, Ginge said: ‘Much better, yesterday I was just terrible…’
‘I’ve gone ten days without seeing my mum for example but I’ve always been able to ring her and text her, so not being able to communicate at all, it all gets on top of you.’
