Posting a picture of himself in his jungle gear on Instagram, Aitch penned: "I've made songs with most people I grew up listening to, now I'm going on the show I grew up watching."

"Mam this one's for you," he continued, followed by a salute emoji and a love heart emoji. "Bout to go f*** up the jungle the Manchester way. Cinnabit."

He added: "What do I want to say to my fans? I just want to shout them all out and say, 'What's going on everyone?' I'll be back home soon. If I'm not, then somebody needs to have a word."
