An I’m a Celebrity star has paid tribute to a family member who died tragically young.
YouTuber Angry Ginge’s 19-year-old cousin Harley died this month.
A tribute to Harley on a GoFundMe page, which has been set up to help his family and pay for his funeral, says: “He 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, January 10 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 Thank you for everyone that supported on Saturday evening at the Balloon and firework release I’m sure his family was blown away with the amount of support was given but for now let’s continue and light the sky up for Harley.”
Angry Ginge, who donated £3,000 under his real name Morgan Burtwistle, played in a Match for Hope football game yesterday, and wore a black armband.
He said beforehand: “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.”
Angry Ginge won last autumn’s I’m a Celebrity, coming ahead of Shona McGarty and Tom Read Wilson in the final.
