Friday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! delivered emotional moments and rising tensions as the first campmate was sent packing from the Australian jungle.
Doomsville Pep Talk
The camp found itself divided after a recent challenge, with rapper Aitch, 25, and actress Shona McGarty, 34, landing in the losing group's camp, Doomsville. As they awaited their next Bushtucker Trial, viewers witnessed another tender moment between the potential lovebirds.
Shona appeared visibly anxious while looking at a picture of her family, expressing concerns about letting down her group after footballer Alex Scott, 41, delivered a heroic performance in a recent eating challenge.
Aitch stepped in with heartfelt advice, telling her: 'Let's be real, all them beautiful people in that picture you've got, all them people right, they don't want you to not be immune so forget Alex, you've known her for two weeks.'
The rapper continued with emotional encouragement: 'Don't do it for Alex, don't do it for you, do it for all them people in that picture.'
Camp Tensions Rise
While Doomsville faced apprehension, the winning camp, Win City, had worries of their own. Reality star Jack Osbourne, 40, admitted: 'I pray it's not an eating challenge,' highlighting the universal dread of jungle trials.
Comedian Ruby Wax, 61, revealed her anxiety about competing against fellow celebrities, particularly her close campmate Tom. She confessed to the Bush Telegraph: 'I can't explain how anxious I am because I'm very close to Tom and so it's going to be difficult to fight him, seeing him eye to eye but I have to take him down!'
Romance Rumours Intensify
The sweet moment between Aitch and Shona comes amid growing speculation about their relationship status. Earlier this week, Aitch revealed in an interview with Jamie Laing's Great Company Podcast that he has a 'soft spot' for his campmate Shona.
The rapper discussed his dating preferences, stating: 'I like it when girls genuinely don't know how sexy they are. I like that. I don't like it when a girl walks in looking like she knows everyone would f**k her in here.'
Recent reports indicate that Aitch split from his girlfriend, Lois Cottam, just weeks before entering the jungle. The couple, who had been together for over a year, reportedly ended their relationship on good terms earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Shona McGarty, best known for playing Whitney Dean in EastEnders for 16 years, continues to win over viewers with her genuine jungle journey.
As the competition heats up and relationships develop, fans are eagerly watching to see how both the challenges and potential romances unfold in the Australian outback.
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight on ITV1 and ITVX.
