I’m A Celebrity winner Angry Ginge shared an emotional tribute to his late cousin Harley on his social media on Friday, after he tragically died aged 19.
The YouTuber, real name Morgan Burtwistle, 24, opened up about the loss of his family member after revealing how he plans to honour the late relative.
Morgan, who wore a black armband in the Match For Hope football game, also asked fans to donate in Harley’s GoFundMe page to support his family.
He said: ‘I will be wearing a black arm band like footballers do when you lose someone. Two weeks ago, one of my cousins Harley passed away, he was only 19 and a Manchester lad as usual, same place as we’re all from.
‘So I’m wearing the arm band for him, for his family and so I thought I’d let you all know beforehand.
‘He’s also got a GoFundMe if you want to donate a quid or 50p if you can or a fiver – anything you can, feel free.

‘I’ve also donated so I’m not doing one of those things where you do and I don’t, don’t worry, but yeah it would mean the world to their family.’
A GoFundMe page, which has already raised over £16,000, was set up to help the family cover funeral expenses. Morgan donated an incredible £3000.
A tribute read: ‘The smile he had could light up any room and I cannot understand or even imagine how much pain his family is going through so let’s make it as easy as it can be for them and help support them.
‘Please give as big or as little anything will help to give him the best day possible. Harley sadly passed away on Saturday 10th January leaving his family and friends broken, with no words to describe or believe this has even happened.
‘Harley was a beautiful funny, loving, mischievous, caring lad with the whole world ahead of him.
‘He was the life and soul of the party and would light up the room with his infectious smile, funny character and let’s not forget his rapping we all know he loved a good rap.
‘He was the most amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew cousin and friend to all always making everyone around him smile and laugh so let’s continue to make his family know how much he was loved and give them the support they need a this such devastating time.’
It comes after Morgan rewarded himself for his hugely successful media career by spending £420,000 on his first home.

His media career has earned him £1.2million in the last year alone, including £100,000 from his appearance on I’m A Celeb.
The Salford-born star, who grew up in very modest council homes, has amassed more than five million followers across all social media platforms making him in huge demand for commercial brands including Puma and JD Sport.
After his win, the social media star – who was rumoured to have been paid £100,000 for his jungle stint – said of his experience: ‘I was a massive fan of the show but it was a lot harder than I thought.
‘I reached out to people who had been on it before for tips and clues but no one told me how hard it was going to be.’
