Aitch turned down the chance to appear on Love Island

Aitch turned down the chance to appear on ‘Love Island’.
The rapper claimed was approached to feature on the ITV2 dating show, but joked he doesn’t have the "body" to flaunt in the villa.
When asked on the Capital Breakfast show how many verified Instagram pages have directly messaged him, he said: "There’s a couple of blue ticks in there, I’m not gonna lie.
"There’s been ‘Love Island’ blue ticks, hundred. I got asked to go on ‘Love Island’, no word of a lie!
Unfortunately for his fans, the ‘Taste’ hitmaker revealed that he turned down the opportunity straight away.
He added: "Obviously it would have been funny. I didn’t think about it. It was a ‘non’ straight away, but it would have been very funny.
"I’ve not got the body!"
Aitch refused to say which islander messaged him, as he "wouldn’t like to put someone on blast like that".
The 19-year-old star – whose real name is Harrison Armstrong – admitted that he would love to collaborate with Harry Styles and Rita Ora.
Aitch, who shot to fame after uploading clips to YouTube, previously revealed that he learned to rap by watching 2000 horror comedy blockbuster ‘Scary Movie’.
He said: "There’s a scene where the Scream character starts spitting bars about slicing people up and me and my boy just found it so funny.
"We would rewind that scene all the time and remix bars. We just kept doing that for hours, writing our own rhymes. ‘Scary Movie’ made me spit bars."
