Rapper Aitch has officially touched down in Australia as one of the stars taking part in the brand-new series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
The Manchester-born hitmaker, whose real name is Harrison James Armstrong, is gearing up to face weeks of gruelling Bushtucker Trials alongside hosts Ant and Dec and a fresh lineup of famous faces.
He will join the likes of Kelly Brook, Shona McGarty, Lisa Riley, AngryGinge and Martin Kemp in the Jungle for the show’s 25th series.
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 is one of the UK’s biggest rap stars.
But while he’s made waves in music, the 25-year-old’s love life has been just as vibrant.
Now, as he swaps sold-out shows for the jungle, Daily Mail takes a look back at Aitch’s dating history – from his flirty Chicken Shop Date with Amelia Dimoldenberg to his explosive split with influencer Lola Thompson.
Inside rapper’s Aitch’s dating history as he touches down in Australia for I’m A Celebrity 2025
The star’s first public romance was with Chicken Shop Date’s Amelia Dimoldenberg
Amelia Dimoldenberg
Aitch became a viral sensation after he struck up a romance with YouTube creator and journalist Amelia Dimoldenberg.
They first met each other in a 2019 episode of her series Chicken Shop Date, where she questioned him about his love life.
Amelia has interviewed celebrities such as Louis Theroux, Ed Sheeran and Dave on her YouTube channel, which now has over 3.3million subscribers.
She was eager to find out if Aitch was a player and was surprised to find out that he was ‘texting zero girls’.
When Amelia asked if he believes in love at first sight, Aitch replied: ‘I believe in it, but it’s never happened so I don’t know.
‘But I would like to think that one day I’ll look at someone and fall in love.’
Fast forward to 2022, Aitch teased fans for weeks with several TikTok’s of a mystery woman, which turned out to be Amelia.
The couple’s first date saw Aitch take Amelia to get a milkshake – although he kept her identity hidden.

Love was clearly in the air for the social media stars as Aitch shared a second compilation video of him and Amelia looking extremely close and cute during a bowling date in 2022
Love was clearly in the air as he went on to share a second compilation video of him and Amelia looking extremely close and cute during their bowling date.
He captioned the video: ‘Yeah, you guessed it. F*** off now,’ and went on to share a loved-up selfie of them.
Not long after, Amelia addressed their relationship in a Kiss FM interview, confirming they were spending time together.
‘I like him a lot, I love that he loves me so much,’ she said.
Aitch then shared a picture of them on Instagram, calling her ‘Amelia Armstrong’.
Also around this time, the journalist made a brief appearance in his and Ashanti’s music video, Baby.
However, their relationship was not meant to be and the couple announced their split, when they gave each other ‘best friend bracelets’ in a video.
This left fans believing the relationship was a PR stunt to promote his new song.
Though fans have long speculated their relationship was an elaborate PR stunt. The parties have never confirmed, nor denied.
Lola Thompson
Following his split from Amelia, Aitch started dating influencer Lola Thompson. The former couple dated for 10 months between 2022 and 2023 before calling it quits
Following his split from Amelia, Aitch started dating influencer Lola Thompson.
During their relationship, Lola grew very close to Aitch’s sister Gracie, who has Down Syndrome.
He previously shared a video of his sister and Lola holding hands and wrote: ‘Gracie and Lola forget about me when they are together.’
The former couple dated for 10 months between 2022 and 2023 before calling it quits.
At the time, insiders claimed they were both ‘gutted it didn’t work out’ due to conflicting schedules.
PrettyLittleThing model Lola confirmed the split when she shared a video of herself with her best friend and wrote: ‘When you and your bestie are finally single at the same time.’
A pal told The Sun: ‘Aitch and Lola had such a good time together and things were pretty serious between them, but in the end they struggled to spend enough time together.
‘Lola is embracing the single life while Aitch has thrown himself into work. They are both pretty gutted.’
While the couple were said to have split amicably, it didn’t stop Aitch sharing a stomach-churning story during an episode of the 90s Baby Show podcast in September
While the couple were said to have split amicably, it didn’t stop Aitch sharing a stomach-churning story during an episode of the 90s Baby Show podcast in September.
Choosing not to name Lola, Aitch recalled the moment he had tried to perform an intimate act on a former girlfriend inside a Bali hotel room.
Things turned grim when he realised she had soiled the bed overnight due to a bout of Bali Belly – a colloquial term referring to digestive upset caused by ingesting contaminated food or water.
‘I was with a girl, right, and we went to sleep and woke up the next morning… tried to get it cracking,’ he said in a TikTok clip from the episode.
He went on to express his horror at noticing the state of affairs beneath the sheets.
Aitch joked his ex had experienced flatulence and believed she had ‘got away with murder’.
‘I’ve gone, ‘I think something’s happened there!” he said, as the podcast hosts roared with laughter.
Aitch said he was so horrified by the discovery that he had to leave the room as soon as possible.
In a twist, Lola decided to out herself as the ex in question.
Days after the podcast episode was published, the model uploaded a scathing response video to TikTok in which she accused Aitch of being ‘disrespectful’ by speaking about her in such a ‘vulgar’ way.
She also insisted that his claims were ‘incorrect’, explaining that she did soil herself in Bali, but ‘definitely not in the way he’s describing it.’
‘I did this in my sleep… it was a little bit in my pants. It didn’t go on the bed. It didn’t go on him. It didn’t go “f**king everywhere” like he said it did.’
‘And he wasn’t being like, “Oh, get away from me!” He was literally hugging me, telling me he loved me.’

Lois Cottam
Earlier this year, it was reported that the rapper had struck up a romance with a stunning psychology student called Lois Cottam.
It’s unclear where the couple met, but sources told The Sun that they’ve known each other for a while.
On his single Luv? with Anne-Marie, he rapped about chatting up a girl, but he’s quietly been with his girlfriend since earlier this year.
A source told the publication: ‘Aitch has been dating Lois for a couple of months, but they’ve recently been getting more serious.
‘But Aitch has never posted her on his social media, they’ve been keeping things very low-key and private.
‘Her Instagram is private and she’s even removed her profile picture from her account, although you can see he follows her.’
It is not known if the pair are still ‘together’.
Daily Mail has contacted Aitch’s representative for comment.
