Boy George gives cheeky verdict on Ant and Dec after Saturday Night Takeaway appearance

Boy George made a hilarious dig at Ant and Dec after watching back his appearance with the Geordie duo on the weekend's episode of Saturday Night Takeaway.

The music icon joined Ant and Dec for the penultimate show of the new series as they hosted another edition of Singalong Live. The aim of the game is for viewers at home to correctly sing the right words of a classic song as the act who made it famous perform in the ITV studio.

Culture Club legend Boy George followed in the footsteps of The Darkness by joining Ant and Dec for Singalong Live this year, with star guests in the past also including Kaiser Chiefs, Steps and Ronan Keating. While the hosts cued up families at home to get ready to singalong, George launched into 80s anthem Karma Chameleon.

Viewers at home loved seeing George back on TV, as well as hearing the pop classic and, the man himself made sure to catch up on his appearance on Saturday Night Takeaway a day later. And it was then that he delivered a cheeky verdict on how they looked as they attempted to replicate his famous hat and braids look from his hey-day.

Sharing a screen shot of them dressed as him which comedian David Baddiel had uploaded to Twitter, Boy George wrote: "Boy George on a budget! But how cute are they!" His followers also had their say, with one writing: "They are so cute, but I've only just realized how small they are."

Another replied: "Lol they stopped at the one pound store on the way! Really funny," with a third responding: "They need more braids! Over budget? lol"

Ant left viewers gutted on Saturday when he revealed that this coming weekend's episode would be the final one of the series. One disappointed fan reacted: "Well, since my account has finally been unsuspended after 9 month, I’m gonna say that @itvtakeaway this series has been amazing, can’t believe the last episode of the series is next week #SaturdayNightTakeaway," adding a teary-eyed emoji.
