Since stepping into the I’m A Celebrity jungle, Aitch has been winning over fans with his charisma, talent, and genuine personality. But viewers became even more invested after hearing him speak about his sister, Gracie Armstrong, and the profound influence she has had on his life (The Sun, Metro UK).

From the very start of his career, Aitch has made it a priority to raise awareness for Down’s Syndrome, inspired by his close relationship with Gracie. His dedication has extended beyond words: he has raised substantial funds for the Down’s Syndrome Association (DSA) and continues to use his platform to advocate for inclusivity and understanding (Down’s Syndrome Association).

Aitch Dedicates a Song to Gracie

Music is deeply personal to Aitch, and he has channeled his feelings for his sister into his work. His song “My G” is dedicated entirely to Gracie, with all proceeds supporting the DSA.

In a heartfelt video shared on social media, Aitch explained: “Track 14. My G. This one is straight from the heart. For my sister, Gracie. The most perfect girl I have ever met. Life wouldn’t be the same without you kid. And I wouldn’t change it for the world. Go live your best life and enjoy every minute.”

The track features the lyrics: “Baby, live your best life. You shouldn’t grow by force. All in your own time, G. The globe is yours.”

The music video opens with a dedication to Gracie: “This song is dedicated to Gracie Armstrong. You have the biggest heart. Don’t change for no one. Love you kid.”

This song exemplifies how Aitch intertwines personal experience with advocacy, creating art that is meaningful both for him and for the wider community affected by Down’s Syndrome (BBC News).

Gracie Teaches Aitch Life Lessons

Speaking on Jamie Laing’s podcast Great Company, Aitch reflected on how much he has learned from his sister. He said: “I wouldn’t even be half the person I am if she wasn’t here. And she actually teaches you lessons that you don’t even realise until after. She changed my life. She used to grab my face before I went to bed and just said, ‘Harrison, don’t be afraid.’”

Aitch continued, explaining the broader impact of Gracie’s influence: “It’s taught me, and this is going to sound bad. But it’s taught me more to treat everyone the same. And to understand that everyone is a human.”

His words highlight how personal relationships can inspire empathy and advocacy, even shaping public figures into role models for inclusivity (Metro UK).

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to Raise £120K

Earlier in 2025, Aitch took on a major challenge to support the DSA, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Sharing the journey on Instagram, he wrote: “Quick message. Just want to say a big up too everyone that donated for the DSA for the Kilimanjaro climb. We’re leaving in the morning to go to Tanzania in Africa.”

Even before the climb began, he and his team had raised over £120,000 for Down’s Syndrome charities, showcasing the tangible impact of his activism (The Independent).

Gracie Inspired His I’m A Celebrity Appearance

Aitch’s sister is also the driving force behind his participation in I’m A Celebrity. In an interview with The Sun, he revealed: “I’m not just doing it for people with Down’s Syndrome. I am also doing it for the people around them as well. I don’t want anyone to be disheartened if they find out someone in their family has Down Syndrome.”

His dedication to his sister and to the broader community has endeared him to fans, cementing his status as one of the show’s most inspirational contestants. His journey demonstrates that fame can be used not just for personal success, but as a platform to drive awareness, foster understanding, and make a real-world difference (The Mirror).

Final Thoughts

Aitch’s bond with Gracie exemplifies how family and personal experience can shape a public figure’s mission. From heartfelt songs to daring charity challenges, he consistently merges his passion for music with advocacy, showing the positive influence someone with a platform can wield. Fans of I’m A Celebrity are not only captivated by his jungle antics but also inspired by his commitment to making a meaningful impact for people living with Down’s Syndrome.
