Opening up about his siblings, he revealed in the Bush Telegraph \u201cMy baby girls, my two sisters, everything I do is for them. Bottom line, I\u2019m on this show for them. I make music for them. I try to make a living for them, because they\u2019re my girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">Gracie and Hattie are non-identical twins who, at 16, are 10 years younger than their devoted big brother. He has often credited them as the reason he\u2019s remained level-headed during his time in the public eye, and admitted that his close bond with the pair has had a huge impact on his music over the years &#8211; especially Gracie, who has Down syndrome. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">A person with Down syndrome has an extra chromosome, which alters the course of their development &#8211; and Aitch says he is pleased he can use his platform as a way to raise awareness for the condition.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">Aitch, whose real name is Harrison Armstrong, even has a tattoo tribute to Gracie, which reads \u2018Harrison, don\u2019t be afraid\u2019 in her handwriting &#8211; something that his sister says to him regularly. <\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"aitch im a celeb\" title=\"aitch im a celeb\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2584\" height=\"1560\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/aitch-im-a-celeb-6920e18268fbd.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p>ITV<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"16\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/tv\/a63147899\/best-film-tv-tours-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/tv\/a63147899\/best-film-tv-tours-2025\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Best film and TV tours for 2025\" data-node-id=\"16.0.1\" class=\"body-link css-1lh7k7j emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Best film and TV tours for 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"19\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">He told Jamie Lang on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@greatcompanypodcast?referer_url=thetab.com%2F2025%2F11%2F19%2Fall-the-adorable-things-aitch-has-said-about-his-life-changing-relationship-with-sister-gracie%3Fcallback%3Din%26code%3DMDCYNWIXOWYTNTCXOC0ZOWZJLWE0MJUTN2E1ZMVJZDNIYTNH%26state%3D0ebbc8638bc64f338bc296571c61d7f5&amp;refer=embed&amp;embed_source=121374463%2C121468991%2C121439635%2C121749182%2C121433650%2C121404358%2C121497414%2C121477481%2C121351166%2C121947600%2C121811500%2C121896267%2C121860360%2C121487028%2C121331973%2C120811592%2C120810756%2C121885509%3Bnull%3Bembed_name&amp;referer_video_id=7520184157046082838\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@greatcompanypodcast?referer_url=thetab.com%2F2025%2F11%2F19%2Fall-the-adorable-things-aitch-has-said-about-his-life-changing-relationship-with-sister-gracie%3Fcallback%3Din%26code%3DMDCYNWIXOWYTNTCXOC0ZOWZJLWE0MJUTN2E1ZMVJZDNIYTNH%26state%3D0ebbc8638bc64f338bc296571c61d7f5&amp;refer=embed&amp;embed_source=121374463%2C121468991%2C121439635%2C121749182%2C121433650%2C121404358%2C121497414%2C121477481%2C121351166%2C121947600%2C121811500%2C121896267%2C121860360%2C121487028%2C121331973%2C120811592%2C120810756%2C121885509%3Bnull%3Bembed_name&amp;referer_video_id=7520184157046082838\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Great Company Podcast\" data-vars-ga-product-id=\"7ca7d39d-bbf5-441e-9c5b-11f65f44a63a\" data-node-id=\"19.1\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@greatcompanypodcast?referer_url=thetab.com%2F2025%2F11%2F19%2Fall-the-adorable-things-aitch-has-said-about-his-life-changing-relationship-with-sister-gracie%3Fcallback%3Din%26code%3DMDCYNWIXOWYTNTCXOC0ZOWZJLWE0MJUTN2E1ZMVJZDNIYTNH%26state%3D0ebbc8638bc64f338bc296571c61d7f5&amp;refer=embed&amp;embed_source=121374463%2C121468991%2C121439635%2C121749182%2C121433650%2C121404358%2C121497414%2C121477481%2C121351166%2C121947600%2C121811500%2C121896267%2C121860360%2C121487028%2C121331973%2C120811592%2C120810756%2C121885509%3Bnull%3Bembed_name&amp;referer_video_id=7520184157046082838\" data-product-url=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@greatcompanypodcast?referer_url=thetab.com%2F2025%2F11%2F19%2Fall-the-adorable-things-aitch-has-said-about-his-life-changing-relationship-with-sister-gracie%3Fcallback%3Din%26code%3DMDCYNWIXOWYTNTCXOC0ZOWZJLWE0MJUTN2E1ZMVJZDNIYTNH%26state%3D0ebbc8638bc64f338bc296571c61d7f5&amp;refer=embed&amp;embed_source=121374463%2C121468991%2C121439635%2C121749182%2C121433650%2C121404358%2C121497414%2C121477481%2C121351166%2C121947600%2C121811500%2C121896267%2C121860360%2C121487028%2C121331973%2C120811592%2C120810756%2C121885509%3Bnull%3Bembed_name&amp;referer_video_id=7520184157046082838\" data-affiliate=\"false\" data-affiliate-network=\"\" data-vars-ga-product-price=\"$0.00\" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id=\"ad74bbe2-b909-4445-b76e-e37b9ec3dd03\" data-vars-ga-link-treatment=\"(not set) | (not set)\" class=\"body-link product-links css-1lh7k7j e1aq0z090\" data->Great Company Podcast<\/a>: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be half the person I am if she wasn\u2019t here.

Talking about how Gracie was born with Down Syndrome, he explained how she loved watching Ellie Goldstein on Strictly Come Dancing, telling him when Ellie came on screen: \u201cShe\u2019s one of God\u2019s special children like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"23\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">Eddie applauded the fact Aitch was using his platform to raise awareness for Down Syndrome and Aitch went on to share some advice, explaining: \u201cIt\u2019s not even about how you handle it, it\u2019s about how you view it. They\u2019re the best people in the world. Obviously everyone would say this about their siblings, but forget that she is my sister, she is the sickest person I\u2019ve ever met. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"25\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">\u201cI\u2019ve heard different stories over the years of how kids with Down Syndrome get treated, and it just makes me feel sick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"27\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">The Manchester-born rapper also revealed he climbed Kilimanjaro earlier this year, which took him seven days to scale the full mountain.
