Moston rapper Aitch surprised fans in Manchester city centre today after he was spotted flipping burgers for McDonald’s.
The Shake It star, 23, stepped away from the studio and instead spent Tuesday afternoon serving up McDonald’s new McCrispy Deluxe burgers to crowds from a pop-up burger van in Spinningfields.
Aitch, real name Harrison Armstrong, was dressed in a black t-shirt and cap as handed out boxes of burgers and fries alongside members of McDonald’s staff.
He was also seen chatting to customers as they came up to the van, saying: “here you go Sir, there you go Sir,” before pausing for a photograph with the McDonald’s team.
Asked what he thought of the new McCrispy Deluxe burgers he told a customer: “It’s nice. It really is though, I’m not just saying that.”

The appearance from Aitch was to promote McDonald’s new McCrispy burger, which is being released in the UK tomorrow and puts a summer twist on one of the fast food restaurant’s most popular menu items.
The new chicken burger features 100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating with a tantalizing combination of hot and spicy mayo. The new McCrispy Deluxe is also topped with bacon to give customers ‘a new taste sensation.’
It’s not the first time that Aitch has surprised fans by popping up at a fast food shop, either.
In 2021, the Moston rapper shocked followers with a surprise secret gig inside Subway sandwiches on Manchester Piccadilly Approach before handing out sandwiches he had made himself to the crowd.
Evidently, he likes a good, quick, tasty scran – and who are we to argue?
McDonald’s McCrispy burger really feels like one of the most hyped fast food items of the summer, and after this appearance, we’re sure the Deluxe is going to be doing bits too.

Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade
Daisy Jackson
An iconic ready-to-drink favourite has launched back into the UK – oh yes, Breezer is back.
First launched in the 1990s, Breezers – then pitched as an ‘alcopop’ – were a staple on dancefloors and at barbecues right across the UK.
And now Bacardi has decided to bring these delicious, fruity, easy-drinking bottles back to British shores.
There are three new flavours to try as Breezers return to your fridges – Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime, and Crisp Watermelon.
And Breezer launched back into Manchester last night with a suitably memorable party, turning a spot in the Northern Quarter into a corner shop.
The ‘local Cornerbop’ was stacked with your usual essentials, plus shelf after shelf of these colourful glass ready-to-drink bottles.

The Breezer relaunch party saw Tarsza and Rennie Peters spinning nostalgic anthems with a modern twist at a pop-up party in a corner shop.
Steve Young, business unit director for Bacardi in the UK & Ireland, said: “We know there is a lot of love for Breezer in the UK, and we are confident a new generation of consumers will fall in love with the new Breezer.
“RTDs are booming, however, the Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages category could do with a bit more excitement. By bringing back Breezer we’re definitely putting the fruity taste into FAB.”
The iconic ready-to-drink classic is back – and better than ever.
Drinks prices for Manchester Oasis gigs announced – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Daisy Jackson
The prices of drinks at Heaton Park for the five huge Manchester Oasis shows have been released in advance.
With the Gallagher brothers reuniting on stage in their hometown for the first time this weekend (and then again next week), it’s a huge moment for our city.
Those lucky enough to snag tickets have already forked out a small fortune to witness this moment in history (still scarred from the dynamic pricing debacle).
And most of us were probably bracing to spend another small fortune on beers at the Oasis Manchester gigs.
But you might be pleasantly surprised at the drinks prices up at Heaton Park for Oasis Live ’25.
It’s now been confirmed that pints of lager and cider will be just £6.50.
Before you turn your nose up, remember that pints at our two arenas – the AO Arena and Co-op Live are now sitting around the £9 mark.
Prices for other drinks, like wine and spirits, we’ll have to wait until Friday to see.
Heaton Park will also be the home of the ‘largest beer garden’ and the longest bars in the city for the Oasis reunion.
With a major heatwave predicted for the first shows, fans are being encouraged to stay hydrated (on WATER, not beer, please).
Ticket-holders will be allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml in with you, but it must be collapsible plastic.
Solid plastic and metal containers will be rejected on safety grounds.
There’s a free water point on site where you can fill up your bottles again.
Oasis will perform at Heaton Park in Manchester on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.
