Shona McGarty has become something of a national treasure during her time on I’m A Celebrity but fans were confused as to whether or not she and her fiance had split.
While she and musician David Bracken only got engaged last year, it was heavily rumoured that their relationship might already be over.
“They are on amicable terms but have ended their romantic relationship,” an insider alleged to Closer earlier this month. “There are no hard feelings, they realised they wanted different things and are better off as friends. Shona is now focusing on her music and career.”
Before I’m A Celebrity, Shona and David hadn’t explicitly confirmed anything, but signs were sadly pointing in the direction of a split, especially as her sister has given her approval to a jungle romance with I’m A Celebrity co-star Aitch. And now, in the latest episode, Shona confirmed she was single.
Shona McGarty confirms split
In last night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity (November 27) Shona opened up to Tom about how she just recently ended her engagement.
The conversation in Doomsville quickly turned to weddings and engagements, with Kelly Brook revealing she has been engaged five times before she met her husband.
While the camp were going around, asking each other if they wanted to get married, Shona got up and walked away, leaving the conversation.
Not long after, Tom went to check on her, and that’s when she confirmed she had split from her partner.
She told him: “I just couldn’t be part of that conversation. It got too much. When I came in I had just broken up with my fiance. So, I just couldn’t do it.”
Tom immediately supported her, telling her: “I think you did a really sensible thing. Sometimes you have to tread water where you are and think that will happen. Things write themselves.”
Shona got a bit emotional as she opened up on how she was feeling. She said: “The thing is, I really want a family. I would love to be a mummy, and a wife, you know?”
Tom, who is a pro at giving dating advice because of his role on I’m A Celeb, offered her some of his many words of wisdom.
He explained: “Well, I think, focus on you. And what turns you on and your talents. Then, people in your orbit will celebrate you and your orbit will grow. And one day, by accident, somewhere in that orbit will be that person.”
Vogue Williams called Shona McGarty her single
One of the most tell-tale signs that Shona is now single is because, well… fellow campmate Vogue Williams said so.
After arriving late with Tom Read Wilson, it didn’t take long for Vogue Williams to suss out the vibes between Shona and Aitch.
Deciding to play matchmaker, Vogue commented: “Her and Aitch are single now.” To which Tom replied: “They would make a gorgeous pair.”
