“From Jungle To Christmas Shopping: Shona Addresses Romance Rumours As Aitch Steps Out In Full Festive Mode”

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! favourite Aitch was firmly in festive mode this week as he was spotted stocking up on booze in Manchester ahead of Christmas.

The 25-year-old rapper, whose real name is Harrison James Armstrong, pulled on a bright red Santa hat while popping into a local shop to buy three bottles of Southern Comfort whiskey.

Cutting a laid-back figure in a grey tracksuit and Nike trainers, Aitch also grabbed a Christmas wreath, hinting that he is planning a cosy – and possibly boozy – festive celebration.

I’m A Celeb star Aitch, 25, was well and truly getting into the Christmas spirit while stocking up on booze in Manchester on Tuesday

Despite being one of the breakout stars of this year’s jungle series, the fourth-placed finalist appeared to go largely unnoticed by passers-by as he loaded his shopping into the boot of his £70,000 Porsche.

Aitch narrowly missed out on the crown earlier this month, finishing behind his close friend AngryGinge, who went on to be named King of the Jungle.

The festive shopping trip comes just days after his I’m A Celeb co-star Shona McGarty finally addressed speculation about a possible romance between the pair, following their sweet on-screen bond.

Speaking on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show, the EastEnders actress, 34, laughed off the rumours and insisted the pair are just close friends.

She said: ‘I came out and apparently me and Aitch were in a relationship… He’s great, still my little brother!’

Shona added: ‘He’s so fun to be around, he’s just hyper, and he matched my level of hyper. He hasn’t been round for karaoke yet, but it’s on the cards.’

She had previously opened up about how protective she felt towards the rapper after his shock exit from the jungle, which saw her go on to finish third in the final behind Tom Read Wilson and AngryGinge.

During her exit interview with Ant and Dec, Shona admitted she had been immediately drawn to Aitch.

Explaining why they bonded so quickly, she said: ‘When he came into the jungle, this rapper, he was all giving it this and that, but underneath it all I could tell he was quite scared of the whole experience. He’s very normal, down to earth, and we had a similar upbringing – I felt like an older sister to him. I wanted to protect him.’

His semi-final departure clearly hit her hard, with Shona left visibly shaken after he was voted out.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph during the final, she said emotionally: ‘I had to say goodbye to Aitch today… just one more day until I see him again.’

Last week his I’m A Celeb co-star Shona McGarty, 34, opened up about romance rumours surrounding the pair, after sharing several sweet moments in the jungle (pictured on the show)

The comment sparked immediate reaction from fans, with viewers flooding social media to speculate about a possible romance.

One wrote on X: ‘Shona was devastated!’
Another added: ‘The way Aitch & Shona hugged… they are SO SWEET!!’
A third posted: ‘THE AITCH AND SHONA POTENTIAL ROMANCE?! I must know cos they’d be cute af!’

And now, with Aitch back home donning a Santa hat and filling his Porsche with whiskey, fans are left wondering what festive surprises – on or off screen – could be coming next.
