I'm A Celebrity viewers 'tear up' as rapper Aitch makes heartfelt statement about sister Gracie
Aww!I’m A Celebrity viewers were deeply touched after rapper Aitch opened up about his sister, Gracie, tonight (November 29).
Last night (November 28), former Lioness Alex Scott became the first campmate of the series to be voted off. She faced the public vote against Angry Ginge, Aitch, Martin Kemp, Ruby Wax, Jack Osbourne and Kelly Brook.
While fans were voting to save their favourite, many were “gutted” by the announcement.
However, during Saturday’s episode, viewers were left feeling more waves of emotions after Aitch discussed his precious sister.
I’m A Celebrity star Aitch opens up about his sister Gracie
While sitting in camp, Aitch was quizzed by comedian Eddie Kadi on his sister Gracie and her Down syndrome. The Baby hitmaker explained how she loved watching Ellie Goldstein, who became the show’s first contestant with Down syndrome on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Aitch explained that when Ellie appeared on screen, she’d tell her brother, “Ah, she’s like one of God’s special children like me.”
Eddie praised the music star for using his voice to raise awareness for those with the condition.
“It’s not even about how to handle it, it’s about how you view it. They’re the best people in the world. Obviously, everyone would say this about their siblings but forget that she’s my sister, she is the sickest person I’ve ever met!” he explained.
He continued: “I’ve heard different stories over the years of how kids with Down syndrome get treated and that and it just makes me feel sick.”
When questioned whether he’d make a documentary on the subject, Aitch explained that he’s already completed one about climbing Kilimanjaro, having filmed the entire seven-day ascent.
‘I’ve got so much respect for Aitch’
The heartfelt conversation left viewers feeling emotional.
“Aitch talking about his sister melts my heart,” one user wrote on X.
“The love #Aitch has for his sister is just so damn beautiful,” another person shared.
“I really hope Aitch’s words in regard to Down syndrome people hits to those that bully people with disabilities,” a third remarked.
“Awwwww ‘Gods special children’ that made me tear up,” a fourth said.
“I’ve got so much respect for Aitch, especially after he spoke about his sister,” a fifth person expressed.
