Shona McGarty Speaks Out on Aitch Romance Rumours: “Age Is Just a Number”

Shona McGarty has addressed growing speculation about her relationship with rapper Aitch, insisting that their age difference does not matter as fans continue to debate the nature of their connection.

Rumours about the pair began circulating during their appearance on the reality series I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, where viewers quickly noticed the strong chemistry between the two contestants. The speculation intensified after Aitch, 25, admitted to fellow campmate Ginge that he had a “soft spot” for McGarty, who is 34.

Throughout the show, audiences watched the pair share light-hearted moments, often chatting and laughing together around camp. Other contestants, including media personalities Vogue Williams and Tom Davis, even joked that the pair would make a good couple, further fuelling speculation among viewers.

However, discussion online has frequently centred on the nine-year age gap between them. Some viewers questioned whether the difference might complicate a potential relationship, prompting debate across social media platforms.

McGarty has since responded publicly to the conversation. Speaking on the ITV programme Lorraine, the former EastEnders star dismissed concerns about the age difference.

“Age is just a number — it doesn’t create a gap between us. I don’t care about age,” she said, making clear that she is unfazed by criticism or speculation.

Her comments quickly gained traction among fans, with many praising her candid response and arguing that relationships should not be judged purely by age.

For viewers of I’m a Celebrity, the connection between McGarty and Aitch has become one of the season’s most talked-about storylines. Whether the pair are simply close friends or something more remains unclear, but their on-screen chemistry has undoubtedly captured the audience’s attention.

As the show continues, fans remain eager to see how the relationship between the actress and the rapper develops — both on screen and beyond.
