I’m A Celebrity hopeful Aitch – Harrison Armstrong – penned a message to his mum before heading Down Under to take part in the ITV reality contest
I’m A Celebrity is just days away and rapper Aitch has revealed his motive for doing the hit ITV show. The 25-year-old musician landed Down Under on Wednesday and is already looking forward to life in the Australian jungle.
But before being cut off from the outside world, Aitch – whose real name is Harrison Armstrong – sent a message to his fans, and in particular his mum. Sharing a snap of him in his jungle attire, Aitch wrote on Instagram : “I’ve made songs with most people I grew up listening to, now I’m going on the show I grew up watching.
“Mam this one’s for you,” he went on before adding a salute emoji and a love heart emoji. “Bout to go f**k up the jungle the Manchester way. Cinnabit”

He was quickly greeted by messages of support from celebrity followers. Among them was Gemma Atkinson, who shared a number of clapping hands emojis.
Lisa Maffia also shared her support for the star and admitted: “I really hope he wins.” The songstress added three praying emojis.
Aitch is best known for his hits including the 2018 song Straight Rhymez. He reached Number two in the charts with his album Close To Home in 2022.
He was the fourth celebrity pictured in Australia before the official line-up was announced. He had followed Kelly Brook, Lisa Riley and Shona McGarty in arriving at Brisbane airport for the reality contest.
He joked in arrivals that he had landed ready for an upcoming tour. Speaking to the Mirror, he said he has been there “plenty of times” adding: “I love it over here.
“I don’t mind snakes… snake on toast? It’s all right that, innit? I’m gonna miss my sister – even though she’s a little s***.”
He added: “What do I want to say to my fans? I just want to shout them all out and say, ‘What’s going on everyone?’ I’ll be back home soon. If I’m not, then somebody needs to have a word.”
Aitch’s jungle experience sees him enter with another celebrity that he has previously worked with. YouTuber Angryginge, who is the early favourite with the bookmakers, has collaborated on uploads with the singer previously.
In a lighthearted dig at his future campmate, Angryginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle laughed: “I’m not the number one fan of his music, but he’s a good guy.”
Both contestants are keen Manchester United fans, and Ginge made it clear he will miss following the football during his stint in Australia.
The full lineup sees the pair also joined by Ruby Wax, Martin Kemp, Alex Scott, Eddie Kadi and Jack Osbourne. Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson were missing from the announcement, but are expected to join camp at a later date.
