I’m A Celebrity fans have been desperate for something to happen between Aitch and Shona ever since they first noticed the pair get closer. 

For the last few episodes, I’m A Celebrity campmates Aitch and Shona have been seeming quite close. And just last night (November 27) she finally confirmed she was single, after many weeks of rumours.

But now, speaking exclusively to our sister-site EntertainmentDaily! on behalf of OLBG, body language expert Darren Stanton has revealed what he believes is really going on.

What are the Aitch and Shona rumours on I’m A Celebrity?

I’m A Celebrity fans began noticing little moments between Shona and Aitch that seemed to be flirting. And then suddenly, it was all everyone could see.

There have been several moments where fans believe the pair were genuinely just wanting to spend time with each other – and even Shona’s sister has given her stamp of approval – as have Ant and Dec. 

Aitch and Shona have spent quite a lot of time getting to know each other, with many fans noticing the little glances at each other when the other is doing something. And how they held onto each other when they were watching a trial.

But on top of that, many fans even believe Aitch lost his first head-to-head against Ginge so that he could be in Doomsville along with Shona – who had just lost her challenge. Especially as every time he went against Ginge after, he came out victorious.

Darren explains what he thinks is happening

Speaking to ED! Darren explained: “There are definitely some interesting body-language cues between Aitch and Shona. The playful pillow fight, and the way he washed her back are classic signs of comfortable physical proximity.

“When two people consistently tease each other or share light-hearted banter, it often acts as a ‘pre-relationship’ stage – a safe way of testing chemistry.”

Darren admitted what “really stands out” is how comfortable they are so quickly around each other.

He said: “What really stands out is how relaxed they are in each other’s personal space. Their posture, mutual orientation, and effortless touch all suggest reciprocal liking and a growing rapport.”

However, despite there clear flirting, that doesn’t mean that something will happen on the outside of the jungle between them. Instead, it could just be a whirlwind jungle flirty relationship.

Darren explained: “Whether anything will continue outside the I’m A Celebrity jungle between Aitch and Shona is hard to predict.

“But inside the environment, they have clearly bonded. It’s not a guaranteed romance, but definite mutual attraction signals.”

Sounds like something exciting could be blossoming between the pair. And as both are immune from the first public vote-off, we do get them on our screens for a while longer.
