I’m A Celebrity contestant and Manchester rapper Aitch has revealed that he went on the show to raise awareness about people with Down’s syndrome and has publicly lamented the fact that under UK law it is possible to have an abortion up to birth in cases where the unborn baby is diagnosed with the condition.
Aitch, 25, whose real name is Harrison James Armstrong and who has a 13-year-old sister, Gracie, who has Down’s syndrome, criticised the abortion law in the UK ahead of his appearance on the ITV show, saying, “I’ve just learned certain things over the years that make me a bit sad. In terms of you can be a day before giving birth, and if you find out your child’s got Down Syndrome, you can still have the option to terminate it.”
