EXCLUSIVE: Shona McGarty CONFESSES TRUE feelings for Aitch in unaired I’m A Celebrity moment

The truth behind the Shona McGarty and Aitch jungle romance has been revealed once and for all.

‌

Ruby Wax – who was the fifth person to leave the Jungle – told the Mirror how the EastEnders actress secretly confided in her about the rapper in unaired scenes. But Ruby – who was trying to get them together – says that Shona told her: “He’s not my type.”

‌

She said: “He’s not her type at all. She said she likes hunky, bigger men so that she feels female, so he wasn’t on the list at all.” She also pointed towards the “age difference” with Aitch aged 25, while Shona is 34.

‌

Ruby says: “I wanted her to marry him. I thought we could have children and we’d live in the forest forever. But she said that’s not her type. I thought we would have the next generation living in the forest, but no go.” Quizzed as to why she thought they could have been a good couple, she admitted: “I just saw the two youngest people, and they both sing. Why not? I was doing mating rituals. But then she wasn’t interested. He wasn’t either. No, I think he just liked her. She’s into big guys.”

‌

The conversation between the two women was not aired by ITV. But it came amid frenzied speculation that something was brewing between the two campmates. Aitch had confessed his feelings about Shona to Angry Ginge at the end of last week, admitting: “I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Shona, me.” Ant and Dec in particular were desperate for a jungle romance. Dec previously said he was shell-shocked by Aitch’s comments when watching the scenes shortly before they aired.

He said: “This came completely out of the blue this morning.” While Ant added: “It’s been a while since we’ve had a proper romance on this show. We’d love to see it….we would celebrate it.” Shona family had even given Aitch their seal of approval. The actress’ sister Camila delivered her verdict on the rapper as she landed at Brisbane Airport.

She said: “He is a nice guy…I would definitely have him around for Christmas.” But Camilla said that she needed to see more evidence that romance is actually blossoming. She added: “I don’t know if I see it romantically…it might just be a brother and sister relationship but I don’t know…I don’t think we have seen enough to make a definite decision on it.” Shona broke up with her musician fiancé, David Bracken, earlier this year. Insiders say the split is amicable, and he recently wished her all the best for the jungle on social media. Aitch is also single after splitting with Lois Cottam before going into the Jungle.
