Aitch had fans in tears during Tuesday night’s episode of I’m A Celeb with his Jungle Arms tribute to his beloved sister Gracie
With only days left before the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! finale and the camp steadily shrinking, viewers believe the public has already chosen its champion — and his name is Aitch.
Tuesday night’s episode delivered one of the most emotional moments of the season, as the Manchester rapper left both his campmates and the nation in tears during a deeply personal performance at the legendary Jungle Arms.
Aitch has a close bond with his two twin sisters, Gracie and Hattie, who at 16 are ten years younger than him. And Gracie, who has Down’s Syndrome, in particular, has played a big part in both his personal life and career
After the camp secured their long-awaited trip to the jungle pub, the evening quickly turned into a full-blown celebration — complete with laughter, drinks and karaoke. But when Aitch stepped up to the microphone, the mood shifted from chaotic fun to heartfelt silence.
Whilst the video for his song features Ed Sheeran, Aitch joked he had to make do with his camp BFF AngryGinge as they performed a duet
Instead of choosing a party anthem, Aitch performed his own track My G, a song he wrote for his beloved younger sister Gracie, who has Down’s syndrome. The choice stunned his fellow campmates and instantly brought tears to viewers’ eyes.
Aitch shares a powerful bond with his twin sisters Gracie and Hattie, who are ten years younger than him. But it is Gracie, in particular, who has shaped both his life and his career in ways he has never hidden from the world.
The song’s lyrics — “Baby live your best life, you shouldn’t grow by force. All in your own time, G, the globe is yours” — echoed through the Jungle Arms as his close friend AngryGinge joined him for a surprise duet, hilariously standing in for Ed Sheeran, who features in the official music video.
Back in camp, even Ruby Wax admitted she had been left overwhelmed by the performance. Online, fans were quick to declare that moment as the clearest sign yet that Aitch is destined to be crowned King of the Jungle.
Before entering the Australian outback, Aitch revealed that his decision to take part in the show was driven by something far bigger than fame or money — he wanted to raise awareness for Down’s syndrome.
Speaking openly to the Daily Mail, the 25-year-old said:
“I’m not just doing it for people with Down’s syndrome — I’m doing it for the people around them too. I don’t want anyone to ever feel disheartened if they find out someone in their family has it. It’s a blessing.”
He added:
“I never want anyone to say ‘I’m sorry’ when they hear it. That’s not the right response. They’re the best people in the world.”
Aitch has long dedicated his chart-topping success to Gracie. All proceeds from My G are donated to the Down’s Syndrome Association, and the music video opens with a touching on-screen dedication to her. The rapper once wrote:
“This one’s straight from the heart. For my sister Gracie — the most perfect girl I’ve ever met.”
Earlier this year, he also climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, raising over £120,000 for the same charity — a challenge he again dedicated to his sister.
While Aitch continues winning hearts across the country, Tuesday’s episode also saw Kelly Brook become the fourth celebrity to be voted off the show. She was met at the bridge by her husband Jeremy Parisi, who had flown to Australia to support her.
As Aitch’s jungle journey continues, fans are now more convinced than ever that his emotional honesty, charity work and unbreakable family bond have already secured him the crown — long before the final votes are even cast.
