Christmas could be getting a whole lot more interesting for the McGarty family as Camilla McGarty has extended a festive invitation to rapper Aitch amid his budding jungle romance with her sister, former EastEnders star Shona McGarty.
Jungle Romance Sparks Family Interest
The 33-year-old younger sister of the soap actress made the surprising revelation while touching down at Brisbane Airport to welcome Shona off the iconic I'm A Celebrity bridge. Camilla didn't hold back her approval of the Manchester-born rapper, whose real name is Harrison Armstrong.
'He's a nice guy, I would definitely have him round for Christmas,' Camilla declared, showing immediate family endorsement for the potential new couple. However, she quickly tempered expectations by adding: 'I don't know if I see it romantically, it might be a brother/sister relationship, but I don't think we've seen enough to make a definite decision on it.'
Single and Ready to Mingle?
The Christmas invitation comes at an interesting time for both celebrities, with recent revelations that both are newly single. Aitch, 25, reportedly split from girlfriend Lois Cottam, a psychology student, just weeks before entering the Australian jungle. According to sources, the couple ended their more than year-long relationship on good terms, feeling it had naturally run its course.
Meanwhile, Shona McGarty, 34, is also recently single after calling off her engagement to David Bracken earlier this year. The couple had been together for nine years before their separation.
Camp Confessions and Viewer Reactions
The romance rumours began when Aitch opened up about his feelings during a shower session with fellow campmate AngryGinge. 'I've got a bit of a soft spot for Shona, me,' the rapper confessed, sparking immediate attention from both campmates and viewers.
Their connection became more apparent when cameras captured intimate moments between the pair, including a light-hearted chat where they speculated about potential bush tucker trial meals. 'What do you reckon we're eating today? I'm going to be honest I reckon it's some sort of funky animal,' Aitch asked Shona, who responded with laughter and her own humorous prediction: 'Tadpoles a***holes? Something like that.'
Viewers were initially baffled by the developing romance, as many believed Aitch was still in a relationship with Lois Cottam. The confirmation of their recent split has now put the jungle flirtation into clearer context.
With Camilla's Christmas invitation now on the table and both celebrities navigating new single status, all eyes are on whether this jungle spark will continue to burn once the celebrities return to British soil. I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
