The latest episode of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! was dominated by the burgeoning connection between rapper Aitch, 25, and actress Shona McGarty, 34, as their flirtatious behaviour reached new heights in the basic camp, Doomsville.
From Trial to Tribulation
Both celebrities failed to secure a spot in the luxury camp after losing the latest head-to-head trial against their campmates. Consequently, the duo, along with Martin, Kelly, Eddie, and Tom, were banished to the sparse confines of Doomsville, which lacks basic comforts like proper beds and showers.
It was in this less-than-ideal setting, however, that the bond between Aitch and Shona seemed to strengthen. The pair were seen in deep conversation, with Aitch, who had previously confessed to having a 'soft spot' for Shona, gazing into her eyes and remarking, 'You're eyes have yellow in them'. A giggling Shona replied, 'Yeah my dad has yellow in his eyes as well'.
Playful Antics and Unabashed Admiration
In an effort to lift the spirits of their despondent campmates, Aitch and Shona initiated a playful pillow fight, which quickly devolved into a friendly tussle on the floor. At one point, Shona was heard asking Aitch, 'Why are you thighs so strong?' as he held her between his legs during their game.
The flirtation continued unabated later when Shona stripped down to her pink bra and matching underwear to use the basic outdoor shower with Tom's assistance. Aitch was unable to look away, openly admiring the scene and gushing to the camera, 'Lovely being in Doomsville everyone thinks its so dark and gloomy but I'm seeing the beauty in it.'
Viewers and Hosts Take Notice
The palpable spark between the two did not go unnoticed. Hosts Ant and Dec commented on the chemistry, with Dec telling viewers, 'It's getting rather cosy in Doomsville isn't it'.
Fans quickly took to social media platform X to share their observations, with many insisting the connection was genuine and not a product of clever editing. One user wrote, 'It’s starting to look like Shona and Aitch are more than just manipulative editing', while another joked, '“Everyone sees it grey and gloomy but i see other than that” ofc you do aitch, you see shona in her pink underwear so you’re seeing rainbows'.
This romantic subplot emerges just days after it was reported that Aitch had split from his girlfriend, Lois Cottam, a psychology student, shortly before entering the jungle. The couple, who had been together for over a year, reportedly ended their relationship amicably. Aitch's confession of his 'soft spot' for Shona had initially left some viewers confused, believing he was still in a relationship.
