Rapper Aitch has been responsible for a number of emotional moments in the ITV camp already, and he’s about to experience another one
I’m a Celebrity contestant Aitch’s cherished sister has made a surprise trip to Australia for a heartfelt reunion. The rapper’s family touched down in the past day, providing much-needed support to the star, who until now had only his manager present to cheer him on.
Gracie was spotted at the celebrity accommodation earlier today (December 3) as ITV captured Kelly Brook’s arrival following her fourth-place elimination from the camp.
Footage showed her in conversation with Kelly, who said: “I have heard so much about you…can I have a hug.” She continued: “We heard your song last night. It was wonderful. Your brother misses you so much. I bet you can’t wait to see him.”
Aitch shares a particularly strong connection with his twin sisters, Gracie and Hattie, who are 16 and a decade his junior, with Gracie, who has Down Syndrome, holding an especially significant place in his life.
The Manchester artist dedicated his popular track My G to Gracie, with all proceeds going towards the Down’s Syndrome Association. During Tuesday evening’s episode, he performed the emotional song in The Jungle Arms, prompting viewers to declare he deserves to triumph, reports the Mirror.
One supporter wrote on X: “Aitch has to win. He’s such a lovely man,” whilst another commented: “Bet Aitch’s sisters are so proud of Aitch right now.” Someone else expressed: “Oh I love Aitch so much.”
His fellow campmates were visibly moved by the performance, with Ruby Wax particularly noting how the moment had stirred her emotions. Aitch has shared heartfelt details with Eddie in camp about the special relationship he shares with his sisters, especially Gracie.
Speaking about Gracie, who was born with Down Syndrome, he recounted how she adored watching Ellie Goldstein on Strictly Come Dancing, telling him whenever Ellie appeared: “She’s one of God’s special children like me.”
Prior to entering the Australian jungle, Aitch disclosed that his participation on the programme was driven by a desire to champion awareness for individuals with Down Syndrome. He explained: “I’m not only just doing it for people with Down syndrome, I’m doing it for people around as well. I don’t want anyone to be like disheartened or feel s if they do find out someone in the family’s got Down syndrome. It’s a blessing.
“You’re going to have the best time of your life as long as you’re spending it with that person. My main thing, really and truly, is because I don’t want Down Syndrome to be seen as a negative thing. I don’t want anyone to go like, oh yeah, my kid’s got Down Syndrome, or my sister’s got Down Syndrome.
“And anyone to have the reply of, ‘Oh, I’m sorry to hear that’ because it’s just definitely not the case. They’re the best people in the world.”
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
