Rapper Aitch has found himself at the centre of a potential love triangle after entering the I'm A Celebrity jungle, with reports emerging about pre-show flirtations with Married At First Sight star Ella Morgan while developing a close bond with EastEnders actress Shona McGarty inside camp.
Pre-Jungle Flirtations Revealed
Before entering the Australian jungle, the 25-year-old chart-topping artist reportedly engaged in flirty exchanges with reality television personality Ella Morgan. The 31-year-old, who made history as the first ever trans participant on both Married At First Sight and Celebs Go Dating, was said to have boasted about receiving attention from Aitch during London's Beauty Awards earlier this week.
This development comes shortly after Aitch's reported split from his girlfriend Lois Cottam, which occurred just weeks before his jungle adventure began. Meanwhile, Ella had previously announced her separation from boyfriend Alex James Ali in January, after the pair met during her appearance on Celebs Go Dating.
A source close to the situation told The Sun: 'She said Aitch told her he thinks she's stunning and she is clearly quite into him, too. Ella admitted they were talking about meeting up when he comes out of the jungle so watch this space.'
Jungle Romance Blossoms
Inside the jungle, however, Aitch appears to have developed a close connection with fellow campmate Shona McGarty. The 34-year-old EastEnders star became the object of the rapper's affection during his time in the basic camp Doomsville, where both celebrities ended up after failing to complete a recent trial.
During an intimate shower conversation with campmate AngryGinge, Aitch openly confessed: 'I've got a bit of a soft spot for Shona, me.' This admission was followed by increasingly cosy interactions between the pair, including playful pillow fights and deep conversations.
Viewers witnessed several flirty moments, including Aitch complimenting Shona's eyes, saying 'Your eyes have yellow in them', to which she giggled and replied: 'Yeah my dad has yellow in his eyes as well.'
Public Reaction and Past Relationships
Fans and presenters alike have taken notice of the growing connection between Aitch and Shona. Hosts Ant and Dec commented on the developing chemistry, with Dec telling viewers: 'It's getting rather cosy in Doomsville isn't it.'
Social media platforms exploded with observations about their relationship, with one user noting: 'Everyone sees it grey and gloomy but I see other than that - of course you do Aitch, you see Shona in her pink underwear so you're seeing rainbows.'
The Manchester-born rapper, who boasts an impressive career with 20 Top 10 hits and a BRIT Award for Best Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act in 2023, has previously been linked to several high-profile figures. He went viral in 2022 for his chemistry with YouTube creator Amelia Dimoldenberg, followed by a ten-month relationship with influencer Lola Thompson between 2022 and 2023.
With over six million followers across social media platforms, Aitch remains one of Britain's most prominent rap stars, making his romantic life a constant source of public interest. As the jungle adventure continues, all eyes remain on whether his connection with Shona will develop further or if pre-show plans with Ella Morgan will materialise after his exit.
