Why Aitch broke up with ‘secret girlfriend’ he called his ‘wife’

The reason behind Aitch splitting up with his ex-girlfriend has been revealed as he looks to make a romantic connection on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

If you take what contestants say at face value on the popular ITV reality show, then you'll have noticed the Manchester rapper taking an interest in one of his campmates.

While Kelly Brook's shower scene made headlines after her admission about being 'accepted' for how she looks and Alex Scott raised alarm bells for bringing salt into the jungle to season her food, Aitch has started taking notice of someone in particular.

The 25-year-old artist is best known for his past relationship, which is still disputed, with social media personality and comedian Amelia Dimoldenberg.

But the 'Rain' rapper seemingly has his eyes set on EastEnders star Shona McGarty, with viewers taking notice of his conversation with his mate Angry Ginge.

Aitch admitted on Friday's (21 November) episode of I'm a Celeb that he has 'a bit of a soft spot for Shona', to which Ginge replied: "I think she’s really nice, if that’s what you mean yeah..."

He looked to form a connection with the 34-year-old actress, striking up a conversation about what they were going to eat that day, as he asked: “What do your reckon we're eating today? I'm going to be honest I reckon it's some sort of funky animal.”

“Tadpoles a***holes? Something like that,” she replied, with Aitch starting to laugh - an exchange which had Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson saying that they would be a 'gorgeous pair'.

While they could become this season's 'Jungle Couple', many on social media recalled the Manc rapper's relationship with Chicken Shop Date host Dimoldenberg.

Fans went wild when Aitch appeared on a 2019 episode of the show, claiming they saw sparks fly with a possible romance on the cards as the pair exchanged some flirty comments.

It looked like the rumours were coming true in 2022, with Aitch speaking about his 'secret girlfriend', who was later revealed to be none other than Dimoldenberg, confirming the rumours in a TikTok where they were on a bowling date, after a couple of posts alluding to being on a date with a mystery woman.

“Yeah you guessed it, f**k off now,” he said at the time, as Dimoldenberg said of the relationship: “I like him a lot. I love that he loves me so much, it’s nice when someone pays you attention and is interested in you, right?”

But it all seemed too good to be true, as a video was released to announce their apparent break-up.

It may all have been a PR stunt, with Dimoldenberg appearing in Aitch's music video for 'Baby' in March 2022, and users realising that music from the track was used on every post of the pair online.

In the clip, they exchanged matching friendship bracelets, while dropping some banter about why their relationship couldn't work out, as the YouTuber said they were 'better as friends' and she loved going on dates for her show, as Aitch added: "I can’t sit back and watch you every other week go on a date with other rappers. And I know it’s not real but I just can’t do it."

Just days after Aitch called her Amelia Armstrong, using his last name, and even calling her his 'wife' on the radio, it was all over - if it had ever begun.

The rapper has said he misses her though, writing: "I really miss @ameliadimz," referencing her in 'Famous Girl' by saying, 'But true say I really miss Amelia'.

Someone suggested it was 'all for PR', to which Dimoldenberg replied: "It wasn't."

But when Aitch was asked if it was a publicity move for his then-upcoming tune, he laughed it off without giving a real answer - mysterious.
