Aitch has revealed his “soft spot” for his I’m A Celeb co-star. The musician is currently residing in the Australian jungle alongside his pal Angry Ginge and stars such as Ruby Wax OBE, Lisa Riley, Eddie Kadi, Jack Osbourne and Kelly Brook.
But the 25-year-old Mancunian has revealed there’s one woman he has a soft spot for in the camp. The Baby hitmaker has revealed he has a soft spot for former EastEnders star, Shona McGarty.
In tonight’s episode, the famous faces Down Under were keen to impress late arrivals, Vogue Williams, and Tom Read Wilson. Kelly told Vogue that she had made the decision to bypass having a morning shower, so she could keep an eye on the rice as part of her role as camp chef.

Elsewhere, other campmates had been cleaning up and making the camp look better in order to win a badge, with Aitch collecting logs for the fire, while Shona and Jack took care of the dunny.
After carrying out their duties, Aitch and his pal Angry Ginge headed to the creek to splash about, while the rapper shared what’s on his mind.
“I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Shona, me,” he said. Ginge replied: “I think she’s really nice, if that’s what you mean, yeah?” Keeping things low-key, Aitch commented: “Yeah, that’s what I mean…”
Since the scene aired, fans have taken to social media, with one saying: Aitch and Shona have chem… Just saying. #ImACeleb.” A second added: “Aitch and Shona would make a lovely couple! #ImaCeleb.” “#ImACeleb I definitely can see Aitch and Shona together,” penned a third.
“The Aitch and Shona friendship #imaceleb,” tweeted another. Before a sixth went on to pen: “Even aitch feeling the spark we all see with Shona #ImACeleb.”

Earlier this year, Aitch was romantically linked to a psychology student from Cheshire, not too far from his hometown of Manchester. The rapper and student were said to have met at the start of the year and even headed to New York together.
Back in May, a source told The Sun: “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.”
And while they may have had a stunning romance, they decided to keep their relationship under wraps and away from the glare of social media.
Speaking about why he’s taking part in the programme, Aitch said: “On a personal Harrison level, this show is something I grew up watching in our house. It would almost be disrespectful to say ‘no’. Why would I not do it?
“On an Aitch level, I feel like I have got this calling to raise awareness for Down syndrome, and I feel that’s the perfect place. 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.”
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs daily at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
