BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA – Michelle Sansom, mother of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Morgan “Angry Ginge” Sansom, has shared insights into her son’s personality, revealing a fondness for Haribo sweets and a history of entrepreneurial ventures, including a school-age Lucozade-selling operation that earned him a telling-off.
Sansom described her son as ”pretty tidy” and willing to help with camp chores,but highlighted his strong dislike of tardiness. “Morgan hates when people aren’t on time. I don’t think much in the jungle will irritate him and if it does, he’ll say something,” she told the Manchester Evening News. Despite being a “naturally a night owl” due to his streaming schedule, she added he’s punctual for early appointments. The revelation comes after a visibly emotional Sansom broke down in tears during Monday’s episode, a moment that deeply affected his mother. “My heart absolutely sank,” Michelle said,admitting she also cried watching the clip.
The mother’s comments offer a glimpse into the personality of the popular streamer, who has already become a talking point on the show. Michelle also recalled a childhood incident where Morgan’s business acumen – selling Lucozade at school – landed him in trouble. While details of the incident were not specified, it illustrates a proactive and self-reliant spirit.
Michelle expressed her eagerness to reunite with her son, anticipating a heartfelt welcome when he leaves the jungle. ”I just can’t wait to give him the biggest hug on that bridge and for him to see how many people have been supporting him,” she said.
The first elimination from I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is scheduled for Friday, November 28, with voting expected to open the preceding day. The show, broadcast on ITV, continues to draw significant viewership as contestants navigate the challenges of jungle life and public opinion.
