Boy George tribute act has spent £20,000 on surgery to look like his idol

A Boy George tribute act has spent £20,000 on surgery to look like his idol. Liam Halewood, 36, has had 10 different facial surgeries to make himself resemble the singer - including botox, fillers, hair transplants and chin surgery.

He's also had eyebrow shaping, skin peels, fillers in his face and lips, non-surgical jaw alignment and hair transplants. The performer from Blackpool has appeared on numerous reality TV shows including E4's Bodyfixers, The Extreme Diet Hotel and ITV's the X Factor.

As a gay man, he said he looks to the singer as a role model who “paved the way” for stage acts like himself. And Liam’s attention hasn’t gone unnoticed - the Karma Chameleon singer, who follows him on social media, has even wished him happy birthday.
