Viewers of ITV's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! were left reaching for the tissues on Friday night after rapper Aitch was given a surprise reunion with his two sisters. In a deeply moving segment ahead of Sunday's final, the campmates received visits from loved ones, with Aitch's turn proving particularly powerful.
An Unforgettable Jungle Reunion
Aitch returned to camp to find his sisters, Gracie and Hattie, waiting for him. Overcome with shock and joy, the Manchester-born star immediately broke into a huge smile, rushing over to hug and kiss both siblings. The emotional catch-up that followed captivated the nation, as Gracie, who has Down's syndrome, told her brother: 'We've missed you so much!'
In a lighter moment during a tour of the camp, Hattie offered some characteristically sisterly honesty, joking about the infamous jungle hygiene. 'You don't smell the best, I'm not gonna lie!' she said. 'When I got that hug, I got a whiff but that's just the jungle scent.'
A Bond That Stole the Nation's Heart
The bond between the three was palpable. In the Bush Telegraph, with his arms around both sisters, Gracie described the moment as 'unbelievable', while Hattie added they were 'unbelievably proud' of him. Aitch showed them the photo of his sisters he had kept by his camp bed, a treasured memento that had helped him through the tough jungle experience.
The visit concluded with a heart-melting request from Gracie, who asked: 'If you get voted out of the jungle, can you take me to Greggs?' Aitch grinned and promised: 'Of course I could! I'll take you anywhere you want.' As he said his goodbyes, he told them, 'I love you all the world,' and later declared the reunion the best day of his life.
Viewers' Emotional Reaction
The scenes triggered a flood of emotional reactions on social media, with many fans praising Aitch's role as a brother.
- One viewer wrote: 'Aitch being the best brother to his two sisters... I hope young boys watch him and see how much love and light he has for his family.'
- Another commented: '100% I am going to cry when aitch sees his sister grace. I can tell you that now.'
- Many declared him a 'true inspiration' and stated he deserved to win the series.
Elsewhere in the episode, it was revealed that Jack Osbourne and Lisa Riley received the fewest votes and were eliminated from the camp. They were met by hosts Ant and Dec on the bridge for their exit interviews.
I'm A Celebrity continues on ITV1 and ITVX, building towards the grand finale on Sunday.
