I’m A Celebrity favourite Aitch has just received the biggest morale boost of the series as his beloved sister Gracie quietly touched down in Australia for what promises to be an emotional reunion. The 25-year-old rapper, who has been relying solely on his manager for in-person support, will soon discover that the person who means the most to him is now only moments away from the jungle bridge.
Gracie, 16, was spotted today at the celebrity hotel where ITV cameras filmed her warmly greeting the latest evictee, Kelly Brook. The former model beamed as she recognised the teenager, telling her she had “heard so much about you… can I have a hug?” She went on to say the entire camp had listened to Aitch’s song the previous night and that it was “wonderful,” adding that Gracie’s brother “misses you so much” and she must be “counting down the minutes” until she sees him.
Aitch has long been vocal about the deep bond he shares with his twin sisters, Gracie and Hattie, who are ten years younger than him. But it is Gracie, who has Down syndrome, who has shaped both his heart and his career in profound ways. He famously dedicated his hit track My G to her, donating all proceeds to the Down’s Syndrome Association. On Tuesday night’s episode, he performed the song in camp, leaving viewers in tears and sparking fierce calls for him to be crowned the winner.
Fans flooded social media with messages like, “Aitch has to win. He’s such a lovely man,” while others praised how proud his sisters must be. Even his fellow campmates were moved, with Ruby Wax admitting his performance had “completely undone” her emotionally.
In camp, Aitch also spoke candidly to Eddie about growing up alongside his siblings and the unique joy Gracie brings to his life. He recalled how she once watched Ellie Goldstein on Strictly Come Dancing and said, “She’s one of God’s special children like me,” a moment that deeply touched him.
Ahead of joining the show, Aitch made it clear he entered the jungle to raise awareness and shift perceptions around Down syndrome. As he put it, he doesn’t want families to feel fear or pity when they receive a diagnosis. “It’s a blessing,” he said. “You’re going to have the best time of your life as long as you’re spending it with that person. I don’t want anyone to treat Down syndrome as something sad. They’re the best people in the world.”
With Gracie now in Australia, viewers are bracing for one of the most emotional reunions of the series — a moment that may just seal Aitch’s status as the people’s champion.
