Ant and Dec defend Boy George after he's slammed by ITV I'm a Celebrity fans who think he's 'two-faced'

I'm A Celebrity ...Get Me Out Of Here fans were fuming with pop star Boy George as he complained about his fellow campmates not being "themselves" in Saturday night's episode (November 19). The Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? singer moaned to comedian Seann Walsh as their fellow I'm a Celeb stars played a game of What Time Is It Mr Wolf? to pass the time in the Australian jungle.

As the 80s icon grumbled that it was like "The Brady Bunch" Seann replied: "I'd rather be The Brady Bunch than there be conflict." And George commented: "You hate conflict don't you?"

He went on to tell Seann: "I feel like I'm at a party I'm not invited to." He added: "I feel so stifled when everyone's so well behaved." And as they continued their game he quipped: "B******s Mr Wolf." "People aren't being themselves and I see it," he said.

After the show the comments came flooding in as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly hosted a live chat with fans on their Instagram. "You like drama. That's the whole point," they said as they addressed George being accused of 'causing drama.'

Ant defended: "I like the fact George is very set in his ways and he's not going to pretend to be somebody is not. He's his authentic self and that's good." Answering an accusation that he "only wants to cause trouble" Ant said: "I don't think he does. He thinks some people in there are fake."

Boy George vented to Seann (ITV)

"I don't think he is two-faced. He's telling everyone what he's thinking," said Dec. "He told Matt what he thought," added Ant. "It took a little while but he did."
