Santa Hat, Karaoke Invites And Jungle Sparks — Aitch’s Festive Shopping Trip Fuels Ongoing Connection With Shona McGarty After I’m A Celebrity
It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas for I’m A Celebrity favourite Aitch this week — but it wasn’t just the Santa hat that had fans talking.
The rapper, 25, whose real name is Harrison James Armstrong, was spotted stocking up in Manchester on Tuesday as he called into a local shop wearing festive headgear and leaving with three bottles of Southern Comfort whiskey — a move that hinted celebrations may already be underway. 
Cutting a relaxed figure in a grey tracksuit and Nike trainers, Aitch also picked up a festive wreath before heading back to his £70,000 Porsche, appearing to go completely unnoticed by passersby as he loaded the boot with his Christmas haul.
But while the shopping trip seemed innocent enough, it came just days after his former jungle co-star Shona McGarty revealed she had invited him over for karaoke after they both left camp — adding fuel to the belief that the pair are still very much getting to know each other beyond the jungle.
🎤 “Everything Just Happened Naturally”
Speaking recently on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show, the EastEnders actress, 34, opened up about the speculation surrounding her bond with Aitch after viewers spotted their closeness on I’m A Celebrity.
“I came out and apparently me and Aitch were in a relationship,” she laughed. “He’s great — still my little brother.”
But moments later, she revealed something more telling.
“I invited him over for karaoke after we left the jungle and everything just happened naturally,” she admitted — a comment that left fans wondering whether their story is still quietly unfolding.
She went on to describe how well they matched each other’s energy.
“He’s so fun to be around, he’s just hyper, and he matched my level of hyper. He hasn’t been round for karaoke yet, but it’s on the cards.”
💬 From Jungle Bond To Real-World Catch-Ups
The pair’s connection first caught attention after Aitch was eliminated from the jungle earlier this month, finishing in fourth place behind his close friend and eventual King of the Jungle, AngryGinge.
Shona, who went on to finish third, was visibly emotional when he left, later admitting in the Bush Telegraph:
“I had to say goodbye to Aitch today… just one more day until I see him again.”
During her exit interview with Ant and Dec, she explained why she felt so protective over him.
“To be honest, when he came into the jungle, this rapper, he was all giving it this and that, but underneath it all I could tell he was quite scared of the whole experience,” she said.
“He’s very normal, down to earth, and we had a similar upbringing. I felt like an older sister to him. I wanted to protect him.”
📱 Fans Spot The Signs
Those emotional moments didn’t go unnoticed by viewers, who quickly flooded social media with speculation.
One wrote: “Shona was devastated!”
Another added: “The way Aitch and Shona hugged… they are SO SWEET!”
While a third posted: “THE AITCH AND SHONA POTENTIAL ROMANCE?! They’d be cute af!”
Now, with Aitch back in Manchester gearing up for Christmas — Santa hat on, festive wreath in hand and three bottles of Southern Comfort in tow — fans are wondering whether the jungle pair are quietly exploring something new away from the cameras.
From karaoke invitations to cosy shopping trips, it seems their story may not have ended when the jungle gates closed.
