From Jungle Goodbye To Manchester Nights – Why Fans Think Aitch & Shona’s Story Is Only Just Beginning
Just when viewers believed the magic of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! ended at the jungle gates, Aitch and Shona McGarty have given everyone a brand-new reason to keep watching.
Only days after the rapper finished fourth on the ITV hit, he was spotted back in Manchester slipping effortlessly into festive mode. Dressed in a grey tracksuit and trainers, the 25-year-old quietly picked up bottles of Southern Comfort and a Christmas wreath before loading them into the boot of his sleek Porsche — a low-key outing that suddenly felt anything but ordinary.
Because right on cue, Shona finally broke her silence on the rumours that have followed them since their emotional jungle journey.
Appearing on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show, the EastEnders star laughed at waking up to headlines suggesting she was now “in a relationship”.
“He’s great — still my little brother,” she teased at first.
Then came the line that sent fans spiralling.
“I invited him over for karaoke after we left the jungle and everything just happened naturally.”
In one sentence, the internet was set alight again.
Shona went on to explain just how easily they click.
“He’s so fun to be around. He’s hyper — and he matches my level of hyper. He hasn’t been round for karaoke yet, but it’s on the cards.”
From Jungle Tears To Real-Life Moments
The spark didn’t appear overnight. Viewers had sensed something deeper the moment Aitch was voted out, when Shona struggled to hold back tears. In the Bush Telegraph she admitted:
“I had to say goodbye to Aitch today… just one more day until I see him again.”
Later, with Ant and Dec, she spoke of the softer side behind the rapper’s bravado.
“When he came in, this rapper was all confidence — but underneath I could tell he was scared. I felt like an older sister. I just wanted to protect him.”
Fans Are Already Convinced
Social media hasn’t missed a beat.
“Shona was devastated when he left.”
“The way they hugged — that wasn’t just friendship.”
“They’d actually be adorable together.”
Now with Aitch back home and Shona revealing their off-camera karaoke plans, fans believe their jungle connection may quietly be turning into something more.
The cameras may have stopped rolling — but for Aitch and Shona, the real story might only just be beginning.
