The jungle just got a little spicier – and it’s not because of another Bushtucker Trial.
While the nation has been glued to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! watching a potential romance blossom between Manchester rapper Aitch and former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty (after he sweetly confessed he has a “soft spot” for her), it turns out the 25-year-old star might have been keeping another famous blonde firmly in his DMs right up until he flew Down Under.
Step forward Married At First Sight UK’s unforgettable 2023 bride, Ella Morgan.
According to onlookers at Monday night’s glitzy Beauty Awards in London (November 24), the transgender reality star couldn’t resist spilling the tea on her flirty private messages with Aitch – and the gossip quickly made its way to the tabloids.
“She was openly telling people that Aitch has been texting her, saying he thinks she’s stunning,” a source dished to The Sun. “Ella was beaming about it. She admitted they’d been chatting quite a lot and were even talking about meeting up once he’s out of the jungle. Watch this space!”
The revelation has sent shockwaves through celeb circles, especially as cameras have captured clear chemistry between Aitch and Shona McGarty around the campfire. But with Ella now throwing her hat into the ring, the rapper could be facing a very complicated homecoming.
Ella, 30, is freshly single after her whirlwind romance with Celebs Go Dating co-star Alex Ali ended in tears earlier this year amid allegations of infidelity. She previously opened up on Olivia Attwood’s So Wrong It’s Right podcast, saying: “The breakup was really hard because I was falling in love with him… I just wasn’t treated very nicely.”
Meanwhile, Aitch reportedly parted ways with his long-term girlfriend, student Lois Cottam, on good terms just before entering the jungle. Sources insist the split was amicable, with one telling The Sun: “There’s no bad blood and she hopes he does well.”
But with Ella Morgan now very publicly staking her claim, it looks like Aitch’s love life is about to become the real trial when he finally steps off that famous bridge.
