It turns out Angry Ginge will be forced to return the I’m A Celeb prize after winning show

After winning I’m A Celeb 2025 and being crowned King of the jungle, it turns out Angry Ginge will have to return the only prize he got. He must be fuming.

Angry Ginge won our hearts with how he was in the camp. He was then named the new king, after three long weeks of jungle life.

But it turns out, the only prize Ginge got for his time in the I’m A Celeb camp has to be swiftly handed back and he’s not allowed to keep it. When a celebrity wins the show, they are handed a crown and sceptre as a gift, to pose for photos after victory. But, previous winner Sam Thompson has said he tried to keep this, but winners get it taken off them.

Speaking on This Morning after his 2023 win, Sam said: “I didn’t get to keep anything! They wouldn’t let me keep anything! I had to give the sceptre back. I really wanted to bring it through airport security because it’s quite big. But yeah, I don’t have anything to show for it.”

So, literally nothing to show for winning. The winning celebs give back both the crown and sceptre, and leave the jungle empty handed. Just like the other campmates. Ouch.

Of course the celebrities get paid for their time in the jungle, but that’s nothing to do with how successful they actually turn out to be. Ginge was quite middle ground with how much he was paid this year. It was reported he was paid £100k for the jungle, with the top paid celeb being Aitch, who bagged £250k. The lowest paid celeb this year was Eddie, with a reported pay of £75k.
