I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Aitch has revealed the driving force behind his jungle stint: his twin sisters, Gracie and Hattie Armstrong. The rapper, 26, has spoken emotionally about his bond with the 16-year-old twins, particularly Gracie, who has Down syndrome.
In the Bush Telegraph, Aitch said: 'My baby girls, my two sisters, everything I do is for them. Bottom line, I'm on this show for them. I make music for them. I try to make a living for them, because they're my girls.' He has a tattoo tribute to Gracie in her handwriting that reads 'Harrison, don't be afraid'.
The Manchester-born star shared how Gracie inspired him to raise awareness for Down syndrome. He told campmate Eddie about Gracie's love for Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Goldstein, and how she said: 'She's one of God's special children like me.' Aitch added: 'They're the best people in the world... forget that she is my sister, she is the sickest person I've ever met.'
Aitch has raised over £160,000 for Down syndrome charities through a Kilimanjaro climb and a skydive in 2023. He also recorded the song 'My G' with Ed Sheeran, with all profits going to the Down Syndrome Association. The video features home footage of Aitch with his sisters.
As an ambassador for the Down Syndrome Association, Aitch said: 'I don't want Down syndrome to be seen as a negative thing... They're the best people in the world.' He hopes his I'm a Celeb appearance will help change perceptions and support other families.
