Angry Ginge shares update on fire in mum’s home
Angry Ginge told fans the cause sounded unreal. He said during an online stream: “It’s actually like something out of [bleep] Tom and Jerry, so what actually caused it, I believe – well the investigation found – is when my mum was out, she was down in the hotel for Soccer Aid, one of the cats jumped on the hob, turned the hob on.”
He added: “Knocked something on the hob, that’s then been set alight. It could have gone alight like that [finger click] but it could have also took an hour and then set the whole kitchen alight.”
He said the flames spread fast through the home. He explained: “Whole kitchen went on fire, then it went to the living room, whole carpets and stairs etc.”
Angry Ginge also explained how investigators reached that conclusion. He told fans: “They figured it out because the hob that had four things, one side was more burnt than the others, which means that would have had to start it.”
He then summed it up by saying: “So, that’s how it started, it’s mental. It is genuinely something you’d see in, like, Tom and Jerry.”
