Boy George revealed he used to get planes to wait for him before they took off during the height of his fame in the 1980s.

During I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! on Wednesday, the campmates were reminiscing on times they’ve been late for work which led to George recalling how he used to hold flights and then passengers would ‘sneer’ at him when he boarded.

Discussing times they’ve been late for work Seann revealed: ‘I literally got out the cab, shut the door, looked at the venue…

‘I’m not running late, but running close to the time, shut the door, I looked around, the venue was shut… I went to Hereford instead of Hertford.’


Boy George was less than impressed when his camp mate Scarlette Douglas brought up his jail-time and court case during Wednesday’s episode.

The Karma Chameleon singer, 61, was sentenced to 15 months for the assault and false imprisonment of Norwegian male sex worker Audun Carlsen during a ‘psychotic episode’, and ended up serving four months.

The Culture Club star, whose real name is George Alan O’Dowd, has since turned over a new leaf and celebrated a decade of sobriety in 2018.


Matt Hancock’s girlfriend Gina Coladangelo has praised the Tory MP’s stint in the I’m A Celeb jungle as she touches down in Australia to support him.

The former aide, 45, who landed in Brisbane, Australia, on Wednesday morning local time following a 24-hour journey, told MailOnline she’s been ‘missing’ her partner and watching the show every night to see him in action.

When asked if she’s been impressed by Matt’s performance on the show so far, after he was voted to do six trials, she said: ‘It would be difficult not to be impressed, he has done really well.’


Boy George accused Scarlette Douglas of trying to shut him down as he attempted to debate Matt Hancock’s political choices during Wednesday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

The singer, 61, claimed A Place In The Sun presenter Scarlette, 35, changed the subject any time she heard George talking to West Suffolk MP Matt about his policies.

Chatting in the camp, George told the former Health Secretary of the government’s choices: ‘Just spend less on arms. £35 billion a year. Why do you sneer at spending less on arms?’

Tensions rose in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! camp in Wednesday night’s episode as the stars clashed over their bed allocations.

Seann Walsh pleaded with his fellow campmates for a bed swap as he complained about having a bad back due to sleeping in a hammock, rather than a flat wooden bed.

However, Charlene White was reluctant to sleep in the RV alongside camp leader Matt Hancock despite Owen Warner’s pleas for her to do so to give them an extra bed for Seann.


Jill, Matt, Mike, and Owen put themselves up for the trial

Bony fish? Oh my cod 🥴 #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/yJ8477CCT3

Awaiting dinner Boy George laughed: ‘I’m quite intrigued to see what they give us for one star.’

There was laughter around camp as the small bag arrived in camp.

Babatúndé read: ‘Celebrities, as a result of Chris winning one star [they cheered] in today’s Trial, Boiling Point, you have bony fish.’

Seann said: ‘Oh lovely.’

Boy George had one mushroom.

Chris said: ‘I’m so sorry.’

Boy George laughed: ‘What did I do?!’






never mind the ants. my anxiety shakes would never allow me to do this game #ImACeleb

This 'Down To The Wire' challenge is surely wayyyy more difficult than the last team's water gun one #ImACeleb #ImACelebrity

boy george getting upset that scarletts trying to stop him from arguing with matt but didn’t boy george get annoyed that she was asking questions about him… #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/XnPAq7pbRy

how can george say that scarlett was disrespectful for asking him a question and then say she was saving matt from a question. one rule for him and another for others #ImACeleb

All that meditation doesnt make boy george very relaxed #ImACeleb

Boy George: "We can talk about what we want to talk about"

Also Boy George: refusing to talk about his past#ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/jvJxZD0qI1

Continuing to chat around camp, Boy George said to Matt: ‘Just spend less on arms. £35 billion a year. Why do you sneer at spending less on arms?’

Matt said: ‘I don’t, I don’t, it’s just a different debate.’

Scarlette then said: ‘Matt, just quickly, you know when you asked whose socks they were and I asked you to put them over here… remember the socks from this morning, I said just stick them… where did you put them?’

Boy George said: ‘She’s trying to save you, very interesting.’

Boy George in the Bush Telegraph said: ‘I just noticed sometimes when I start a debate with Matt, Scarlette comes in and kind of shuts me down a bit or tries to change the subject. I don’t know whether Scarlette’s got political aspirations. But sorry, I’m just not going to stop talking. I will say what I want.’

Boy George joked to Matt: ‘You haven’t got out of that debate, come back.’

Matt replied: ‘I’m not doing that one. I’m not doing it.’

Boy George said: ‘That’s interesting.’

Matt in the Bush Telegraph said: ‘I seem to have a Trial whether I go out on an official Trial or stay in camp. But most of the conversations are really interesting and I love a debate anyway, so that’s fine.’

Matt in the Bush Telegraph said: ‘I seem to have a Trial whether I go out on an official Trial or stay in camp. But most of the conversations are really interesting and I love a debate anyway, so that’s fine.’

Seann in the Bush Telegraph said: ‘Boy George is the firework in the jungle. It’s absolutely hilarious. He does not care. And I think we all love him for it.’

Later Boy George said to Seann at the creek: ‘She [Scarlette] sort of shut me down and she’s done it a few times. Matt is a grown adult and he can answer me. I’m not going to be shut down.

‘If you don’t want to talk about something interesting, that’s your problem. It really annoyed me because it’s happened about three or four times. I don’t know whether it’s deliberate… It’s a weird thing. Are we going to sit here and talk about biscuits all day?’


Boy George replied: ‘Good job I know what the full story was. The best way to explain my thing, Scarlette, if I beat someone up there would be photographs.

‘And there were none, because it didn’t happen. So when you beat someone up, the first thing the police do is take a photograph and they show them in court.

‘There was no photos because I didn’t do that. But I did do one thing. I did handcuff him, yeah. Because I’d handcuffed the guy I’d already assaulted him.

‘So, when I said “I did it”, I thought, I’ll tell the truth they’ll let me go home. I went to prison for four months. I was on tag for four months as well.’

He added: ‘Do you know what people in prison were amazing to me. They loved me.’

Scarlette asked: ‘What was that experience like?’

Boy George said: ‘It was very boring. The clothes was quite similar to this. They also thought I was going to be a total nightmare. And when I wasn’t… they literally thanked me when I left.

‘They were like, “Oh my god”. I knew when I was there, I was like, “right this isn’t my life. This isn’t what I want, I’m never coming back”. I accepted it and I just thought I’ll take what happens.’

He added: ‘Sometimes I think, do I want to explain it? I know the truth. I also know, if I’d done what I was accused of doing, I don’t think I’d be working. I don’t think I’d ever have come back from it. That was a slightly tabloid exaggerated scene.’


Talking in camp, Scarlette said: ‘What happened with you BG and some guy in handcuffs and a radiator?’

Boy George replied: ‘That’s not true.’

Scarlette said: ‘I don’t know the story, I just heard radiator, handcuffs…’

Boy George said: ‘It’s not true, no radiators.’

Scarlette said: ‘Oh, just handcuffs.’

Boy George said: ‘Handcuffs is true but the radiator bit wasn’t true, but thanks for bringing it up.’

Scarlette said: ‘Sorry, it wouldn’t surprise me if that was a fake story.’.

Boy George replied: ‘Sometimes these things, they go into the ether, and people keep saying them and they become folklore.’

Boy George in the Bush Telegraph said: ‘Scarlette blatantly talked about my court case. I thought it was inappropriate what she did, actually. I thought she shouldn’t have said what she said to me. And I thought I handled it really well as it’s a big sore point for me when people say things like that.’

Boy George added in camp: ‘I think if it was true I wouldn’t be working now.’

Scarlette said: ‘I don’t even know what the full story was, I just remember hearing handcuffs and radiator.’

Returning to camp Chris told them: ‘It’s really not good news and I’m really sorry. This is so awkward. I didn’t and I’m not joking, I got one star. To make it worse I got two and it fell out of my bag.’

Chris added: ‘It was enclosed spaces everybody!’

Charlene in the Bush Telegraph said: ‘He’s just crestfallen, you can see in his little face.’

Boy George added in the Bush Telegraph: ‘I wanted him to come back with more for him, not for me. I thought it would be good for his self-esteem.’



Having retrieved the spanners and making his way into a watery section of the pipe, Chris said to himself: ‘Don’t panic… I’m really sorry, I’m really sorry. God I’m panicking I won’t be able to breathe on the other side.’

As Dec tried to advise him on where to go next, Chris yelled: ‘I got it, I know!’

Ant laughed: ‘There’s no need for anger. You’re getting angry with the wrong people here.’

Chris admitted: ‘You’re right, I’m really sorry.’

As he continued to try to go underwater to unscrew stars, he found he couldn’t keep himself under the water long enough.

Chris said: ‘Good god this is embarrassing.’


Chris’ worst fears are realised as he is doused in cockroaches.

The clip shows Chris entering a room with a boiler, wearing a helmet and safety goggles.

He yells: ‘Please don’t put anything on me yet!’

He then has to find miniature wrenches to then unscrew a star from the wall, while all manner of gruesome things are dropped on his head.



As he spoke with hosts Ant and Dec, Ant noted: ‘He’s got tears in his eyes.’

Chris said: ‘Yes! I’m sh**ing myself.’

Ant explained the Trial rules: ‘This is Boiling Point. You’ve got to enter the boiler room and retrieve four spanners. You’re going to use those spanners to release 11 stars that are within the boiler room and the underground pipe network. Only stars in the star bag at the end of time will count.’

He added: ‘This is a Bushtucker Trial, so the chances are you’re not going to be alone down there.’

Chris said: ‘When you say down there…. I should have done panto. Why is it enclosed spaces guys?’



Having learned he’d be taking on today’s ‘Boiling Point’ Trial, Chris spoke of his nerves and admitted: ‘As much as all the campmates go, ‘Just try your best it will be fine, don’t worry about it’, underneath it, they’re going, ‘Come back with at least more than yesterday!’

Boy George in the Bush Telegraph said: ‘Fear creates more fear. We all understand that, but in the moment you panic. I really want him to do it because I think it will be really good for his self-esteem.’

Chris confessed: ‘I just want to disappear.’

He added: ‘Three stars yesterday… I would love to come back with 11, but I don’t know what it is, so I don’t know how brave I’m going to be. I’ll try my best.’


Discussing times they’ve been late for work Seann revealed: ‘I literally got out the cab, shut the door, looked at the venue… I’m not running late, but running close to the time, shut the door, I looked around, the venue was shut… I went to Hereford instead of Hertford.’

Boy George insisted: ‘I’d never be late, I’m there hours before. I got there five hours before a show. Never.’

Jill laughed: ‘I’ve never turned up to the wrong stadium for a game.’

However, Jill did reveal she’d turned up to the wrong speaking event once: ‘I was on at 12.30pm, the guy comes, takes my bag, mics me up. He says, ‘Oh, Jill, I didn’t even know you were speaking today. I was like, ‘Sorry I’m just running a bit late, I’m probably not the main person’, having a bit of a joke. He gets us up on stage, I look up, I’m at Vodafone. I was like, ‘I’m not talking for Vodafone today’. I was at the wrong talk.’


Later, Mike said to Matt: ‘Our leader, you need to have a word with your deputy. She needs to go back in the RV to let Seann go on the thing.’

Matt said: ‘Owen spoke to her this morning.’

Owen said: ‘She said she’ll try.’

Seann joked: ‘I think you should try the hammock George.’

Boy George said: ‘I don’t want to be in the hammock because I won’t sleep. I don’t want to be in the RV either.’

Seann joked to Boy George: ‘I can read the subtext, you want the hammock, have the hammock.’

Boy George said: ‘I’ve never slept in a hammock. I’m 61, I know what I want… Let’s stop this debate now.’

He jokingly added: ‘You don’t know me babe, you ain’t seen me wound up. It’s a whole other scenario. I ain’t done it for years… you’re getting ‘kick off lite’.’

Seann laughed: ‘Diet kick off!’

Jill said: ‘That’s a good one. Wait for the full fat!’


Seann woke up from another uncomfortable night in a hammock and said in the Bush Telegraph: ‘Whenever I see now, like a holiday postcard with someone in a hammock on a beach, I’m going to be like, ‘That is a lie!’ I want to sleep on the floor, but I’m too scared I’ll get eaten alive.’

After asking Mike to crack his back Seann added: ‘We’ve got our very own chiropractor in the jungle. When you’ve been sleeping in a banana for eight nights in a row, you need Mike Tindall to crack your back.’

In camp, Owen said to Seann: ‘Swap tonight if you want? We’ll take it in turns having no sleep.’

Seann replied: ‘Bless you, I really appreciate that.’

Seann added: ‘I’m saying yes to you because you’re 23. Your age has come to haunt you. Thank you.’

Seann in the Bush Telegraph added: ‘I love Owen, he’s such a sweet man, coming to help Uncle Seann.’



Time for Chris to get 1 star and Owen to go hungry again 😩#ImACelebrity #ImACeleb

Think Chris Moyles is going to go into meltdown doing trials #ImACeleb

probably the entire camp tonight #imaceleb pic.twitter.com/hvq9eG2N7H

Chris Moyles will be tackling the Boiling Point trial on Wednesday night, after being voted by the public.

The DJ, 48, will once again fight for food for the camp after bagging just three out of eleven possible meals in Tuesday’s challenge alongside Boy George, 61, and Babatúndé Aléshé, 34. 

Chris looked gutted and was consoled by his fellow campmates as Ant and Dec revealed the latest trial would see him ‘reach boiling point’.
