Romance is rumoured to be blossoming in the I'm A Celebrity jungle, with campmates Shona McGarty and Aitch causing a stir amongst fans, family, and even the show's hosts.
Ant and Dec Weigh In on the 'Cosy' Campmates
The speculation reached new heights during Wednesday's episode on ITV, when hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly directly addressed the pair's behaviour. As the show cut to the camp, Dec was heard saying to Ant, "Getting very cosy aren't they," before smirking. Ant knowingly replied, "Well some of them are..."
This on-air comment came just after viewers witnessed playful scenes between the EastEnders actress and the rapper. As fellow campmate Kelly Brook suggested a pillow fight, the pair were seen laughing, rolling around, and falling to the floor. In one particularly telling moment, Shona was seen leaning on Aitch as they shared a laugh, with many fans convinced they were "looking into each other's eyes".
Fans and Family Are 'Rooting' For The Pair
Viewers of the hit ITV show have been quick to share their support for a potential jungle romance. Social media has been flooded with comments from fans who are convinced of the chemistry between the two.
One enthusiastic fan declared, "Aitch and Shona ready for that christmas love." Another agreed, stating, "Are we witnessing the chemistry between Aitch and Shona? You can feel the love." A third fan commented, "I'm so rooting for Aitch and Shona," while a fourth theorised, "I know Aitch lost on purpose to be with Shona I just can’t prove it."
The support isn't limited to viewers. Aitch's own manager and close pal said the pair could make a "nice couple". Shona's sister, Camila, also gave her approval, saying of Aitch, "He is a nice guy... I would definitely have him around for Christmas."
Aitch's 'Soft Spot' for Shona
The rumours gained further traction after a conversation between Aitch and his campmate Ginge. Aitch confessed, "I've got a bit of a soft spot for Shona, me." When Ginge probed, "I think she's really nice, if that's what you mean, yeah?" Aitch played it cool, replying, "Yeah, that's what I mean..."
This comes as Shona, who split from her musician fiancé David Bracken earlier this year, navigates life in the jungle. Insiders have described the split as amicable, and Bracken recently wished her well for the experience on social media.
I’m A Celebrity 2025 continues to air every night at 9PM on ITV1 and ITVX, with viewers eagerly watching to see if this jungle connection develops into something more.
