EastEnders Meets Aitch? Fans Buzz Over Rapper’s “Soft Spot” for Shona McGarty in the Jungle
Sparks Fly on I’m A Celeb
Something unexpected is heating up on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!—and no, it’s not just the trials. Viewers have started to notice a genuine spark between rapper Aitch (real name Harrison Armstrong) and EastEnders star Shona McGarty, and now fans are wondering: Is this the beginning of a jungle romance?
On Friday night’s episode, Aitch opened up to campmate Morgan Burtwistle in a quieter-than-usual conversation. With no bravado, the rapper revealed that he had a “soft spot” for Shona—and by the look on his face, he meant it.
Campmates Start Noticing the Vibe
The revelation didn’t stay secret for long. Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson, two of the camp’s more observant personalities, commented on the visible chemistry between Aitch and Shona. Tom even joked that the pair would “make a gorgeous couple,” noting their shared blue eyes and easy banter.
His comment drew knowing smiles around the campfire—adding fuel to the speculation.
Shona Shines On Her Own Too
While romance rumors swirl, Shona isn’t slowing down on the competition front. In the same episode, she took part in the Dreaded Dunnies trial, teaming up with Martin Kemp alongside Jack Osbourne and Alex Scott.
Shona impressed campmates with her focus and resilience, helping the team secure all 12 stars. The result? An unusual dinner treat of “district egg” followed by evening popcorn rations—which made for one of the show’s more cheerful days.
A New Chapter for Shona
Off-screen, Shona recently made headlines for a different reason—her quiet split from fiancé David Bracken, just before entering the jungle. The two ended their engagement on good terms, with sources close to them confirming they had simply grown apart.
Since leaving EastEnders, where she played Whitney Dean, Shona has been focusing on her music and personal growth. “She’s taking things slow,” one friend shared—and fans are thrilled to see her glowing again.
Could Jungle Flirtation Turn into Something More?
With both Aitch and Shona single, and their bond growing stronger under the stars, fans are already rooting for a surprise post-jungle romance.
Do you think Aitch and Shona have real chemistry—or is it just harmless fun in the jungle? Could Walford meet the Manchester rap scene?
