What is Aitch's real name?

His real name is Harrison James Armstrong. The stage name "Aitch" derives from the common pronunciation of the letter 'H', which is the first letter of his given name and is how people in his hometown Manchester pronounce it.

In an old interview, the singer revealed he's often called "Aitch" in his personal life. He said: "Obviously, my real name begins with the letter 'H', so I've been called H from time.

"Because we're from [Manchester], everyone just says it like 'aitch'... so I just spelt it that way."

Aitch isn't the only I'm A Celeb contestant to use an alias, as social media star Angry Ginge's real name is Morgan Burtwistle.

The name 'Angry Ginge' is his online persona, because it combines his ginger hair with the high-energy frustration often seen in his reaction videos.

Earlier this year, a video of Angry Ginge revealing his real name to ex-footballer Micah Richards went viral. In the clip, Micah asked Angry Ginge what his "government name" was, and he responded, "It's Morgan."

Micah bursted into laughter and lost composure, as he repeatedly asked him if it was true. Angry Ginge admitted he was unsure who decided to name him Morgan Burtwistle.
