I’m a Celeb viewers admitted they were in tears last night after Aitch delivered an emotional tribute song about his sister.

The rapper showed off his skills during a raucous karaoke session, performing his hit track My G to Gracie about his sibling, who is 10 years younger than him and has Down Syndrome. Aitch, 25, has released this tune professionally, with all the funds generated from the donated to the Down’s Syndrome Association.

He has close bonds with Gracie and her twin sister Hattie, and said his siblings have played a big part in both his personal life and career. The song, played when the campmates won a trip to the show’s infamous pub during Tuesday’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, captured the hearts of viewers with fans backing Aitch to win the competition.

One fan posted on X: “Aitch has to win. He’s such a lovely man.” Another shared: “Bet Aitch’s sisters are so proud of Aitch right now.” A third said: “Oh I love Aitch so much.” One tribute read: “Aitch ‘M G’ to his sister was heartwarming.”

Whilst the video for his song features Ed Sheeran, Aitch joked he had to make do with his camp BFF AngryGinge as they performed a duet. The song’s lyrics read: “Baby, live your best life, you shouldn’t grow by force. All in your own time, G, the globe is yours.” He then mentions G throughout the song, which refers to his sister’s name.

Aitch’s campmates were touched by the song. Ruby Wax, in particular, admitted the performance had left her emotional. Aitch, from Manchester, had previously told his fellow contestants about his close bond with Gracie.

Ahead of his appearance on the show, Aitch revealed he was going into the Australian jungle to raise awareness for people with Down syndrome. Speaking to the Daily Mail, the star said: “I’m not only just doing it for people with Down syndrome, I’m doing it for people around as well. I don’t want anyone to be like disheartened or feel s*** if they do find out someone in the family’s got Down syndrome. It’s a blessing.

“You’re going to have the best time of your life as long as you’re spending it with that person. My main thing, really and truly, is because I don’t want Down Syndrome to be seen as a negative thing. I don’t want anyone to go like, oh yeah, my kid’s got Down Syndrome, or my sister’s got Down Syndrome.

“And anyone to have the reply of, ‘Oh, I’m sorry to hear that’ because it’s just definitely not the case. They’re the best people in the world.”
