Beloved “I’m A Celebrity” contestant Aitch has reportedly parted ways with his girlfriend Lois Cottam just a few weeks prior to his journey into the Australian jungle.
This week, the 25-year-old rapper openly admitted to having a ‘soft spot’ for fellow contestant Shona McGarty, sparking confusion among fans who believed he was still romantically involved with Lois, a psychology student.
However, it has emerged that Aitch, whose real name is Harrison Armstrong, and Lois ended their relationship earlier this month before he joined the celebrity survival show.
Sources indicate that after spending more than a year together, the couple mutually decided their relationship had reached its natural conclusion, opting to separate amicably.
An insider shared with The Sun that “Aitch and Lois still care deeply for each other but concluded they are better suited as friends.”
A source told The Sun: ‘Aitch and Lois still have a lot of love for each other but they decided they are better off as friends.

‘They enjoyed the time they spent together. Things ended amicably between them. There’s no bad blood and she hopes he does well in the jungle.’
Aitch and Lois kept their romance largely private, despite enjoying trips to New York and Santorini over the summer.
He rarely posted about their time together, and the couple preferred to stay out of the spotlight.
It’s unclear where the pair met, but on his single Luv? with Anne-Marie, he rapped about chatting up a girl.
The Daily Mail has contacted Aitch’s representatives for comment.
With 20 Top 10 hits, a BRIT Award for Best Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act (2023), and over six million followers across social media, Aitch – who went viral in 2022 after he grew very close to YouTube creator and journalist Amelia Dimoldenberg – is one of the UK’s biggest rap stars.
The chart-topping star then dated influencer Lola Thompson for 10 months between 2022 and 2023, before calling it quits.
