I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here viewers have become convinced a new jungle romance is blossoming between rapper Aitch and EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, with many already comparing the potential pairing to the show's most famous couple, Katie Price and Peter Andre.
Camp Cupids at Work
The matchmaking began in earnest during the November 21st episode when new arrivals Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson spotted chemistry between the two campmates. As Shona settled down for an afternoon nap, Aitch serenaded her from across the camp, prompting Tom to declare: 'they would make a gorgeous pair'.
Vogue Williams immediately agreed with the assessment, noting their shared physical attributes and interests. 'They've got those bright, bright blue eyes and they both love music', she observed, further fuelling speculation about a potential connection.
Perfect Timing for Romance
The timing appears favourable for a jungle romance to develop. Just before entering the Australian jungle, it was reported that the 34-year-old EastEnders star had split from her fiancé, Irish guitarist David.
Meanwhile, 25-year-old rapper and YouTuber Aitch, known for previous relationships with influencers including Amelia Dimoldenberg and Lola Thompson, is also believed to be single entering the reality series.
The rapper himself confirmed his interest during camp conversations, telling fellow contestant Ginge: 'I've got a bit of a soft spot for Shona, me'. When Ginge clarified if he meant he thought she was 'really nice', Aitch confirmed: 'Yeah that's what I mean'.
Fans Embrace the Potential Couple
Social media has exploded with support for the potential pairing, with many viewers drawing direct comparisons to one of the show's most legendary couples.
One enthusiastic fan posted on X: 'Imagine Aitch and Shona the new Katie Price & Peter Andre? I'd watch the ITV docuseries', while another declared: 'Aitch & Shona could be a power couple in camp'.
Other viewers expressed their immediate investment in the developing storyline. 'I'm already deeply committed to the Shona and Aitch Jungle romance, just so everyone knows. How can we aide this from our sofas?' one fan questioned.
The overwhelming sentiment among viewers appears to be positive, with comments including: 'Aitch and Shona the couple we didn't know we needed' and 'I'm here for Aitch and Shona, they'd make a good couple'.
The potential romance provides a welcome distraction from recent camp tensions, which saw Kelly Brook and Jack Osbourne clashing over kitchen duties, leading to Kelly Osbourne defending her brother.
Elsewhere in the same episode, viewers were treated to some camp comedy as Martin Kemp and Jack Osbourne delivered an Oscar-worthy performance upon returning from a trial, pretending they had failed miserably before revealing they had actually secured all 12 stars.
I'm A Celebrity continues to air at 9pm on ITV1, with fans now watching closely to see if the speculated romance between Aitch and Shona will develop into something more substantial.
