UK Rapper Aitch Joins I'm a Celebrity 2025 Cast
Manchester-born rapper Aitch, whose real name is Harrison James Armstrong, has joined the cast of ITV's long-running reality series "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" for its 25th season in 2025. The rising music star will trade the spotlight of the stage for the challenges of the Australian jungle, alongside other celebrities, as the show prepares to air later this year.
Aitch, whose stage name derives from the pronunciation of the letter "H," first gained attention in the mid-2010s by posting freestyles on YouTube starting in 2015. Before breaking into music full-time, he worked in construction alongside his grandfather. His career took off in 2018 with the release of the track "Straight Rhymez," which marked his entry into the mainstream UK rap scene. Building on that momentum, Aitch followed with singles like "Taste (Make It Shake)" in 2019, which climbed to number two on the UK charts.
His debut album, "Close to Home," arrived in 2022 and also peaked at number two, earning silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry for sales exceeding 100,000 units. This year, Aitch released his second album, "4," in June, securing a top-ten position on the UK charts....
