And Angry Ginge was quick to defend his pal. While on a stream, he said: “I’ve got my chest buffed up here, ready to go to all-out war for me mate.”
In a voice note to Aitch, he then said: “Hiya mate, just a quick one, I’ve heard what’s been going on about this Central Cee song. Obviously, I’m here ready to go to war for you mate, just let me know what sort of vibe it is.
“If it’s kind of, we’re just going to leave it and see what happens, or if you want me to get the [bleep] baseball bat out and we’re [bleep] going at it, you just let me know mate all right, nice one, see what he says there.”
Aitch and Angry Ginge’s ‘banter is off the charts’
Fans were able to witness Aitch and angry Ginge’s friendship as soon as they appeared on I’m A Celebrity this year.
Seeing his pal Angry Ginge, Aitch joked: “That’s not Ginge! I’ve come on the show to get away from people like Angry Ginge.”
Speaking of the decision to put the two friends together on the show, an insider told MailOnline: “It was a stroke of pure genius to sign up Aitch and Ginge.
“They’re best friends and it might be a risk as they’re both so boisterous but it’s new and nothing I’m A Celeb has seen before – it’s a risk that will pay off.
“Their banter and chemistry is off the charts, we’re over the moon about them both agreeing and doing what they do on the internet but in the Jungle, it’s bound to be a success.”
