Angry Ginge gets online abuse after confronting racist fan

Morgan Burtwistle, a YouTube personality and winner of the television show "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!", has faced a torrent of online abuse after confronting a fan he accused of making racist remarks during a World Cup match. The incident occurred on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, during England's 0-0 draw with Ghana.

In a video posted online, Burtwistle, known as Angry Ginge, described how a man seated in front of him was allegedly making "incredibly racist comments" toward the Ghanaian national team. Burtwistle reported the fan to stadium stewards, invoking the "Kick It Out" anti-racism campaign's message of "if you see it, say it." He stated that a steward initially informed him the man could not be ejected unless he repeated the offensive remarks, a policy Burtwistle later called "ridiculous."

The video shows the accused fan apologizing to Burtwistle, saying, "I'm sorry about my comment about Ghana, it won't happen again," and asking if they could "just forget about it." Burtwistle refused, replying, "Forget about you being racist!? No, mate." According to Burtwistle's account, the fan was eventually removed from his seat...
