Boy George admits he tried to rattle Mike Tindall on I'm A Celeb as he praises campmates

Boy George admitted he tried to rattle Mike Tindall as he praised his I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! campmates.

The Karma Chameleon singer, 61, became the fourth star to get eliminated from the Australian jungle.

He was asked about all the things he wanted to do the moment he gets back to civilization as well as who he wanted to be crowned King or Queen of the jungle.

"I think the campmate I'd like to see crowned is Mike Tindall," the Culture Club star revealed.

"Doing it for the Royals. I thought he bought an honesty. He just got on with it. He's very stoic and he didn't have any edges.

"He was hard to rattle. I tried."

Boy George also said the first person he will be having dinner with is Chris Moyles as he's his 'mate'.

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly announced the latest results from the public vote during Tuesday night's episode.

Boy George cheered as his time on the show came to an end before he hugged it out with his co-stars.

The singer confessed he was glad he left when he did but insisted he had an "amazing time" down in camp.

George did admit to "dipping" mentally and having moments of wanting to leave.

The star said: "I had to forget who I was for the whole time I was in there. I just had to let go. I'm happy to go today."

He also discussed his mental health and Matt Hancock joining the show.

The musician said: "When you have got cameras on you, the younger people are probably used to being watched. It doesn’t bother them because they live in this sort of two-way mirror experience.

"For me there were things people didn’t speak up about. There was b****ing going on over here and people weren’t saying it to people’s faces.

"Having Matt in here was really challenging obviously for a lot of reasons, and I thought I’ve gotta tell him what I said. He was there and I thought I had to say it."

He added: "And by the way he is just a person. In here he is just a person. He mucked in and was really doing a lot to help everyone, and so I can't judge him on that. Everyone in there was very kind, even the people who I didn't necessarily get on with all the time."
