The Rumor Mill Spins

Aitch, the rapper from Manchester, has finally put an end to the swirling rumors about a potential jungle romance with his I'm A Celebrity campmate, Shona McGarty. Despite the hopes of many fans, Aitch has made it clear that Shona is "just a good friend." The buzz began when Aitch, known off-stage as Harrison Armstrong, admitted to having a "soft spot" for the former EastEnders star.

Jungle Bonding

In one memorable episode, the 25-year-old rapper was seen playfully wrapping his legs around Shona, 34, during a light-hearted moment. The two also cozied up while watching a trial, fueling speculation of a romance. However, after his surprise elimination – finishing fourth – Aitch was surprised to learn about the rumors.

“No, Shona’s just a cool person. I feel like me and Shona are just cut from the same cloth in a way,” Aitch shared with The Sun.

Music and Friendship

Aitch explained that his bond with Shona was more about their shared love for music. Shona is looking to kickstart a singing career after releasing her debut single, and Aitch has been supportive as a fellow musician. "We just have the same sense of humor," he added, clarifying that their connection was strictly platonic.

Comfort in the Jungle

The rapper also found comfort in having fellow Mancunian, Angry Ginge, in the camp. Despite not having deep conversations, the familiarity helped Aitch feel at ease. "It was just more knowing that he was there," he revealed.

Facing the Tough Times

Aitch candidly admitted that the jungle experience wasn't all smooth sailing. He confessed to moments where he seriously considered walking away. "There was a certain day where I thought to myself, I need to go in this BT now and say, ‘Please, someone come and save me,’" he recalled. Yet, despite the occasional low moments, Aitch described the overall experience as a high.

In conclusion, while fans might have hoped for a new celebrity couple, Aitch and Shona are simply good friends with a mutual respect and shared interests. With the final of I'm A Celebrity approaching, all eyes are on who will take the crown, but for Aitch, the real prize was the friendships made along the way.
