I’m A Celeb’s Aitch ‘lost trial on purpose’ claim fans as jungle romance with Shona heats up
I’M A Celebrity viewers have claimed Aitch lost last night’s trial “on purpose” as his jungle romance with Shona McGarty heats up.
The rapper previously admitted to being interested in the EastEnders star and they’ve been getting along swimmingly.
In last night’s action-packed episode, each celebrity faced off against one of their fellow campmates in a series of trials, with the winners heading to Win City and the losers going to Doomsville.
The viewers chose the pairings and opted for Shona to go up against Alex Scott, with the two having to squeeze out juice from fish eyes.
Alex eventually won, meaning Shona was going to the losers camp and would have to eat plain rice and beans.
Meanwhile, fans at home chose real-life pals Aitch and Angry Ginge to go head to head, with the boys having to sit in a box full of offal and transfer the contents into an empty box.

Ginge was triumphant, but viewers think Aitch purposefully lost the trial so he could be with Shona.
The pair headed to Doomsville alongside fellow losers Tom Read Wilson, Martin Kemp, Eddie Kadi and Kelly Brook.
Taking to X, one person expressed: “I know Aitch lost on purpose to be with Shona, I just can’t prove it #ImACeleb.”
Another fan commented: “Aitch saying Shona’s eyes look like the Earth. Yeah he went to Doomsville on purpose #ImACeleb.”

While a third added: “My hopeless romantic self says Aitch lost the trial vs Ginge on purpose so he could go home with Shona #imaceleb.”
During Ant and Dec’s nightly Instagram live show Jungle Club, the Geordie duo were asked if they thought Aitch lost the trial on purpose.
Dec read out the viewer question which said: “Do you think Aitch failed his trial on purpose to be with Shona?”
The producers in the studio could be heard saying “yes” in unison as the pair let out an “Oooh” in excitement.
Dec pondered: “You’ve gotta weight up your options, yeah he wants to be with Shona maybe but also it’s like sleeping on the floor, rice and beans, surely not.”
Ant added: “You know what, if they’re both single, then I’m all for it. I love a bit of romance.”
The romance speculation between the rapper and actress began when he admitted he had a “soft spot” for her.
While taking a dip in the Aussie camp’s creek, Aitch said: “I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Shona, me.”
Ginge replied: “I think she’s really nice, if that’s what you mean, yeah…”
Campmates Vogue and Tom also suggested the pair would make a good couple, with both Aitch and Shona having split with their partners recently.
Vogue said: “Her and Aitch are single now.”
Tom added: “They would make a gorgeous pair. They both have those bright, bright blue eyes.”
Laughing, Vogue said: “And they both love music.”
Just yesterday, Aitch’s manager and close pal Via Culpan gave her opinion after landing in Australia to support him.
Asked if she thought they would make a nice couple, Via told The Sun: “They’re both nice people, so I’m not sure. Yeah! I don’t know.”
But she added: “I personally think it’s more of a brother-sister relationship.”
