“He Was Sending Flirty Messages Right Before the Jungle” – Fans Buzz as Old DMs Resurface and On-Screen Sparks Fly with EastEnders Star

 The I’m A Celebrity jungle just turned into Love Island 2.0. New reports claim Manchester rapper Aitch (Harrison Armstrong, 25) was “sending flirty messages” to Married at First Sight UK and Celebs Go Dating star Ella Morgan, 30, in the weeks leading up to his jungle entry – yet inside the camp, his electric chemistry with EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, 34, is heating up so fast that viewers are convinced a showmance is brewing. The alleged pre-jungle DMs, leaked to The Sun and verified by friends of both stars, have exploded online, turning the rapper into the center of the season’s biggest love triangle rumor and leaving fans screaming: “So who is he really interested in?”

Sources close to Ella Morgan claim Aitch slid into her DMs in late September after they were spotted “liking” each other’s posts. “It was playful but definitely flirty – lots of fire emojis, compliments on her outfits, ‘you’re trouble’ kind of messages,” an insider told the paper. “Ella was into it and they were planning to meet up once his schedule calmed down.” Ella, the UK’s first transgender reality bride, even hinted at the connection on her Instagram Stories with a cryptic “someone’s got my attention” post days before Aitch flew to Australia.

Inside the jungle, however, the narrative flipped. From day one, Aitch and Shona have been inseparable: late-night heart-to-hearts by the fire, shared giggles during trials, and that now-viral moment when Aitch wrapped his hoodie around Shona during a freezing night, whispering, “Can’t have you cold, babe.” Their banter – Aitch calling her “my little Geordie princess,” Shona playfully roasting his Manc accent – has sent #AitchAndShona trending with 2.1 million posts and bookies slashing odds on a romance to 3/1.

Fans are in chaos. “He was flirting with Ella TWO WEEKS ago and now he’s full Romeo with Shona?!” one viral tweet read. Another: “Ella deserves better than being jungle plan B.” Ella herself stayed classy, posting a simple heart emoji to Shona’s latest trial win, but friends say she’s “gutted” and watching every episode.

Aitch addressed the rumors in Wednesday’s Bush Telegraph: “I’m single, I’m here to have fun – whatever happens, happens.” Shona, fresh from her split with Max George, laughed it off: “He’s a cheeky one, but it’s just camp vibes… for now.”

With three weeks left and eviction looming, the love triangle is the hottest topic in Britain. Will Aitch pursue Shona when the cameras stop? Will Ella confront him on exit? Or is this just classic jungle flirtation?

One thing’s certain: Aitch walked in as the cheeky rapper – he might leave as the king of reality TV romance drama.

The full chaotic story is unfolding nightly – and Britain can’t look away.
