Why did Aitch join I’m a Celebrity?
The Mancunian rapper is hoping to raise awareness about Down Syndrome while in camp. His sister Gracie has the genetic condition.
“I feel like I have got this calling to raise awareness for Down syndrome and I feel that’s the perfect place,” he said ahead of his debut.
“Also, you don’t always want to be stuck in the same world forever. You can branch out and do other things. You don’t have to stick to the code (rap world), because you think that’s cool.
“I did have to cancel some gigs for it. But you are never going to branch out if you do the same thing all the time.”
What happened between Aitch and Amelia Dimoldenberg?

In 2019, Aitch appeared on an episode of Amelia Dimoldenberg’s Chicken Shop Date series. During the conversation, she asked if he was a player, and found out he was “texting zero girls.”
She then asked if he believed in love at first sight, to which he responded: “I believe in it, but it’s never happened so I don’t know. But I would like to think that one day I’ll look at someone and fall in love.”
Three years later in 2022, Aitch posted a series of TikTok videos showing him going on dates with a mystery woman. The internet guessed it was Amelia and he finally confirmed it on their third date as he shared a reel of them.
“Third date! It’s going well, bowling ya get meh,” he posted in the video, alongside a caption which read: “Yeah you guessed it, f*** off now.”
At the time, fans questioned whether it was for “publicity” or if they were “playing” as it coincided with Amelia’s appearance in Aitch’s music video for his single ‘Baby’. Nevertheless, Amelia told Kiss FM: “I like him a lot.”
She added: “I love that he loves me so much. It’s nice when someone pays you attention and is interested in you right?”
Asked about their relationship, Aitch told Capital FM that they were “just having a good time… you might not see any dates on TikTok anymore, trying to keep things more private.”
A few months later, however, the couple shared a video in which they appeared to break up. In the clip, posted to TikTok, Amelia told Aitch that she had something to tell him.
She then said: “I think we’re better as friends,” to which he replied: “I can’t sit back and watch you every other week go on a date with other rappers. And I know it’s not real but I just can’t do it.”
They then revealed that they’d bought each other the same ‘best friend’ bracelet, leading some fans to speculate that the whole thing was a sham to boost their profiles online.
One fan even commented that it was “all for PR,” to which Amelia replied: “It wasn’t.”
So, was it real or not? Maybe Aitch will give some answers on I’m a Celebrity…
Does Aitch have a girlfriend?
According to an insider, Aitch has been dating a psychology student named Lois Cottam, who lives in Cheshire, which isn’t far from where he lives in Manchester.
They’ve reportedly been together since the beginning of 2025 and have even been on baecation.
“Aitch has been dating Lois for a couple of months, but they’ve recently been getting more serious. He took her away on a trip to New York – just the two of them. They’ve also introduced each other to family and friends,” a source told The Mirror.

Before his most recent relationship, Aitch dated Australian model and content creator Lola Rose Thompson, who is close friends with Love Island’s Ella Thomas.
He confirmed their relationship at the 2023 BRIT Awards saying he was “wifed up” and they’d been serious for a couple of months.
However, they split a year later and things got messy after the rapper spoke to the 90s Baby Podcast and revealed that an ex-girlfriend pooped herself while on holiday with him.
A furious Lola then took to TikTok and revealed that it was her, but denied that it happened the way Aitch had said. She revealed that she was suffering from “Bali belly” while on holiday with him and slammed him for posting “vulgar” stuff about women online.
I’m a Celebrity airs on ITV1 weekdays and Sundays at 9pm.
