How did Aitch and Angry Ginge become friends?

Aitch and Ginge have been friends since 2021. They met through a mutual friend Tays.

Ginge has a podcast with Tays, who he met through the Twitch gaming community, and Tays is one of Aitch's childhood friends.

Through recording the Tays & Ginge Off Stream podcast, Ginge was introduced to Aitch and the pair have been friends ever since, often seen having a laugh together in various YouTube videos.

While the pair have been on I'm A Celeb, fans have resurfaced hours worth of footage of the pair having a laugh together online.

A TV insider told the Daily Mail that "it was a stroke of pure genius to sign up Aitch and Ginge" for this year's series.

"They’re best friends and it might be a risk as they’re both so boisterous but it’s new and nothing I’m A Celeb has seen before – it’s a risk that will pay off.

"Their banter and chemistry is off the charts, we’re over the moon about them both agreeing and doing what they do on the internet but in the Jungle, it’s bound to be a success," they added.

And the fan response has been proof of this.
