I’M A CELEB winner AngryGinge has revealed one of his co-stars had to receive medical treatment in an incident that didn’t make it to air.
The social media personality, 24, who was crowned King Of The Jungle in last week’s final with a whopping 65 per cent of the public vote, is now back in the UK after celebrating his widely expected win.
Ginge, who received a heroes welcome as he returned to Manchester after winning the hit ITV series, was joined by camp mate Lisa Riley on a Twitch stream, when they revealed details of the medical emergency.,
The medical emergency involved rapper Aitch, 25, whose close friendship with Ginge became one of this series’ highlights.
He revealed that the BRIT Award-winning artist almost collapsed in the jungle, due to a lack of hydration.
In the stream, Ginge said: “There was a day where Aitch nearly…”
To which Lisa replied: “Yeah, he was. Yeah, yeah. And he had to get a hydration pack.”
Ginge explained to his viewers that the lack of nutrients would leave the stars feeling weaker.
“So there was a day that I don’t think got shown”, he continued.
“Aitch was really, really, like, he’d try stand up [before getting lightheaded]. One thing that keeps happening to me.”

“So light headed”, Ginge continued, “it’s unbelievable”.
He revealed co-stars Jack Osborne and Martin Kemp also struggled with the same issue, but it was Aitch who felt the effects the worst.
