Boy George serenaded by ex campmates as he arrives at hotel following I'm A Celeb exit

Boy George was met with a warm welcome as he arrived at the posh JW Marriott Resort & Spa on the Gold Coast following his I'm A Celebrity exit.

The Culture Club singer, 61, was the fourth campmate to be voted off the show on Tuesday and looked overjoyed to be leaving the set.

As he arrived at the swanky hotel to a rapturous round of applause, former jungle mate Scarlette Douglas was on hand to lead the sing-song.

The presenter, 35, began singing Boy George's smash hit Karma Chameleon as he posed for pics and embraced onlookers, including Matt Hancock's girlfriend Gina Coladangelo.

Filming his arrival, Scarlette sang as the singer hugged his fellow leavers including Sue Cleaver.

George will now get to spend some quality time with those closest to him after spending more than two weeks in the jungle. He labelled the experience "horrifying" but said it was interesting letting go of who he was.

Speaking after his exit, he said: "I have looked at myself for two-and-a-half weeks and it is horrifying. I had to forget who I was and let it go, it was quite interesting to get over it. I am in the jungle with no control. I am looking forward to being back in control."

And when he was asked why he went in, he said: "Part insanity and just the experience. For me it is not something I would choose to do. It was much tougher than I thought. It makes you really appreciate what you have in life."

He later admitted he had hit the wall a few times during his time on the show, saying: "I did have times when I dipped and I wanted to leave. But singing and music is the best medicine."

His words echoed those of Sue, who said earlier in the week: "My time is done. Yes I am done! It is lovely watching it back, those guys are amazing. Camp life I have loved, but you can stuff your trials where the sun don't shine frankly.

"I had enough and hit a wall, it is the anxiety and not knowing and not having control over your life. That is so weird."
