After months of swirling romance rumors, I’m A Celebrity star Aitch has set the record straight. During an appearance on ITV’s The Assembly, the 26-year-old rapper tackled questions about his relationship with fellow campmate Shona McGarty, quashing any speculation that there was more than just friendship between them.
The drama began when Aitch, who finished in fourth place, confessed to having a “soft spot” for Shona, who took third place. Fans quickly began speculating about a possible jungle romance. But Shona wasted no time in addressing the rumors, saying, “He’s like my little brother. We just had the same energy, hyper and silly—that’s why we got on.” Aitch echoed her sentiments, firmly denying any romantic involvement with the EastEnders star. “I wasn’t flirting with her,” he clarified, “I’ve not gone out with her, no.”
But that wasn’t the only candid moment from the interview. Aitch also opened up about a deeply personal experience involving his sister Gracie, who has Down’s syndrome. The rapper revealed how he confronted a college peer who mocked his sister. “He was pretending to rap as me and made a joke about my sister. I couldn’t let that slide,” Aitch admitted, recalling the confrontation, “I absolutely f***** him up.”
The episode, airing Wednesday, April 22, also delves into Aitch’s unexpected jungle fears, including his struggle with spiders during the trials. “I could deal with it, but when you’re hungry in the jungle, everything changes,” he shared with a laugh.
