I’m A Celebrity star Aitch is the latest star to face tough questions on ITV’s The Assembly
Former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Aitch has shared an update after recent romance rumours.
The 26-year-old rapper is the latest famous face to take on ITV‘s The Assembly, as the bold interview series continues to air its second series.
The extended run also features appearances from national treasure Sir Stephen Fry, former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, comedy legend Sir Lenny Henry, and actor Anna Maxwell Martin. A sixth and final celebrity will be confirmed at a later date.
The celebrities face a no-holds-barred range of questions that no chat show, press junket or even parliamentary grilling has ever dared to ask.
Aitch’s episode will air on ITV1 at 10.05pm on Wednesday (April 22). During the instalment, the star is put on the spot about EastEnders actress Shona McGarty.
Aitch came in fourth place in the recent series of I’m A Celebrity in Australia, while Shona placed in third. Rumours of a romance between the pair began swirling whilst the show was on air, after Aitch admitted to having a “soft spot” for Shona.
Shona later addressed the claims directly, saying: “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 upcoming episode of The Assembly, a woman called Jodie asked Aitch: “You know you was in the jungle? Do you like spiders?”
Aitch replied: “I could deal with it… I didn’t like spiders yeah, but when you’re in the jungle, you’re so hungry.”
Jodie then asked Aitch if he liked EastEnders, with the rapper saying: “I know where this is going!”
“I only really know two characters in EastEnders,” he went on, with Jodie noting: “Yeah, Whitney! Why were you flirting [with her]?”
Aitch said: “I wasn’t flirting with her.” Issuing an update, the star then revealed: “I’ve not gone out with her, no.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Aitch opened up about his sister, Gracie, who has Down’s syndrome. He also revealed that he beat up a boy in college after he made fun of 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
