Manchester-based rapper Aitch is currently starring in this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, alongside fellow participants Kelly Brook, Martin Kemp, Angry Ginge and Jack Osbourne. In the last few years, he has seen a monumental rise in his career winning numerous awards since 2020 including the Brit Award for Best Hip-Hop/Grime act in 2023.
Born Harrison Armstrong, Aitch has often referred to himself as a “stereotypical Manchester kid,” however fans of the jungle have seen another side to the rapper as he has opened up about his relationship with his sisters.
Last night, Tuesday, November 18 on I’m a Celebrity, Aitch received a picture of himself and his two sisters. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter
He then spoke privately about the pair in the Bush Telegraph, saying: “My baby girls, my two sisters. Everything I do, it’s for them two.”
Aitch continued: “I’m on this show for them two, and I play music for them two, try and make a living for them two, and yeah they’re my girls.”
The almost 25-year-old shares a strong connection with his twin sisters, Gracie and Hattie, who are a decade younger than him.
The rapper has openly discussed that his sister Gracie has Down’s Syndrome, something he has championed and as a result is an Ambassador for the Down’s Syndrome Association (DSA).
During a recent stint on Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing’s podcast, Great Company, he delved deeper into his relationship with his sister Gracie, who inspired his hit track ‘My G’, Aitch confessed: “I wouldn’t even be half the person I am if she wasn’t here.
“And she actually teaches you lessons that you don’t even realise till after. She always used to grab my face before I used to go to bed and just go, ‘Harrison, don’t be afraid'”.
When releasing the song My G with Ed Sheeran, the rapper posted a tribute to his sister. Aitch said: “This one’s straight from the heart. For my sister Gracie, the most perfect girl I’ve ever met. Life wouldn’t be the same without you kid and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Go live your best life mate and enjoy every minute”
He also said that all the funds generated from the track would be donated to the DSA.

Discussing Gracie’s influence on him, Aitch said: “It’s taught me, and this sounds bad, but it taught me more to treat everyone the same. And to understand that everyone is a human.”
The musician recently scaled Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for the DSA, an experience he said has shown him to “never be ungrateful”.
When he announced he would be climbing the mountain, he said: “My sister Gracie lights everyone’s world up every time she meets someone and people like her deserve equal opportunities just like me and you.
“So I’ll be offline for a lil bit while me and the team go smash this mountain’s head in.”
