Aitch was asked about his I’m A Celebrity co-star Shona McGarty on ITV’s The Assembly
Former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Aitch has provided an update following recent romance speculation.
The 26-year-old rapper is the latest famous face to appear on ITV’s The Assembly, as the candid interview series continues its second run.
The extended series also includes appearances from national treasure Sir Stephen Fry, former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, comedy legend Sir Lenny Henry, and actress Anna Maxwell Martin. A sixth and final celebrity will be announced in due course.
The celebrities encounter an uncompromising array of questions that no chat show, press junket or even parliamentary inquiry has previously dared to pose.
Aitch’s episode will broadcast on ITV1 at 10.05pm on Wednesday (April 22). During the programme, the star is asked about EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, reports Wales Online.
Aitch secured fourth place in the recent series of I’m A Celebrity in Australia, while Shona finished in third. Romance speculation between the pair emerged while the programme was broadcasting, after Aitch confessed to having a “soft spot” for Shona.
Shona subsequently addressed the claims head-on, stating: “I mean, I’m like over 10 years older than him, and also honestly the rumours are rubbish. He is like my little brother, I was like his older sister, and we just had the same energy level. We were hyper and silly, and that’s why we got on.”
During the forthcoming episode of The Assembly, a woman called Jodie asked Aitch: “You know you was in the jungle? Do you like spiders?” Aitch responded: “I could deal with it… I didn’t like spiders yeah, but when you’re in the jungle, you’re so hungry.”
Jodie then quizzed Aitch about whether he was a fan of EastEnders, prompting the rapper to say: “I know where this is going!”
“I only really know two characters in EastEnders,” he continued, with Jodie pointing out: “Yeah, Whitney! Why were you flirting [with her]?”
Aitch insisted: “I wasn’t flirting with her.” Setting the record straight, the star then confirmed: “I’ve not gone out with her, no.”
Elsewhere during the episode, Aitch spoke candidly about his sister Gracie, who has Down’s syndrome. He also revealed that he confronted a fellow student at college after he mocked his sister.
“One time actually, he was pretending to be me rapping and then said a line about my sister that I didn’t really like. And if you want me to keep it absolutely real with everyone, I [saw] him a couple days after in college, and I absolutely f***** him up,” Aitch candidly shared.
“I definitely [don’t] condone no violence, but no one can say that about anyone’s brother or sister… One person, and he’ll never do it again, I promise you that.”
The Assembly and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! are both available to stream on ITVX
