Sharp-eyed viewers of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! have spotted a moment they believe hints at a budding jungle romance between former EastEnders star Shona McGarty and rapper Aitch. During a recent episode, Aitch was seen playfully tussling with Lisa Riley while Shona watched on. Audiences noticed the 34-year-old actress appearing to lick her lips as the 25-year-old musician stood shirtless before her.
Shona also cast a cheeky look towards Aitch as she observed him and Lisa's mock argument, catching him mid-muscle pose. This comes after earlier reports of a possible attraction between the pair, rumours which Shona's relatives seemed to welcome. Her sister Camila, upon arriving at Brisbane Airport, said of Aitch: 'He is a nice guy... I would definitely have him around for Christmas.'
Fans took to social media to share their observations. One viewer posted: 'Shona, we see you checking out Aitch there.' Another wrote: 'OMG Shona is licking her lips at Aitch topless. Did anyone else see?' A third remarked: 'Shona licking her lips when Aitch is topless is no coincidence.'
Aitch, whose real name is Harrison Armstrong, had previously admitted to having 'a bit of a soft spot' for Shona during a conversation with fellow contestant Angry Ginge. After taking a swim in the camp's creek, he reiterated the sentiment, prompting Ginge to respond: 'I think she's really nice, if that's what you mean, yeah...' Aitch confirmed: 'Yeah, that's what I mean.'
Shona, who played Whitney Dean in EastEnders for 15 years, ended her engagement to musician David Bracken earlier this year. Sources suggest the separation was cordial, and he recently offered her his support for the jungle experience via social media. Aitch is currently single after parting ways with Lois Cottam prior to entering the jungle.
