I’M A Celeb winner AngryGinge has revealed the surprising cause of his mum’s house fire that saw her house tragically burn down earlier this year.
The devastating fire happened while the YouTube star was playing in Soccer Aid and the family were away from home, and sadly saw them lose three of their pets.
Now, he has revealed what actually caused the fire to happen.
Explaining that the fire was caused by one of the family’s late cats, Ginge – whose real name is Morgan Sam Lee Burtwistle – said it was “mental”.
He shared: “It’s actually like something out of f***ing Tom and Jerry, so what actually caused it, I believe – well the investigation found – is when my mum was out, she was down in the hotel for Soccer Aid, one of the cats jumped on the hob, turned the hob on.
“Knocked something on the hob, that’s then been set alight. It could have gone alight like that [finger click] but it could have also took an hour and then set the whole kitchen alight.
“Whole kitchen went on fire, then it went to the living room, whole carpets and stairs etc.”
Ginge continued: “It’s crazy.
“They figured it out because the hob that had four things, one side was more burnt than the others, which means that would have had to start it.
“So, that’s how it started, it’s mental. It is genuinely something you’d see in, like, Tom and Jerry.”
The TV and online star has showed fans inside the home since the fire, filming the devastating ruins as he returned to the property following the incident.
Since then, Ginge’s mum has been living with him.
