I'm A Celeb fans accuse Boy George of 'looking for row' with Matt Hancock over potato fallout

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! fans have accused Boy George of purposely 'looking for a row' with Matt Hancock.

The Culture Club singer was chosen to take care of cleaning by camp leader Hancock, 44, and his deputy Charlene White.

Campmates were given their dinner of camel shoulder and the disgraced Health Secretary asked if the potatoes could be washed before being cooked.

As Mr Hancock is a leader, he isn't allowed to undertake any of the chores.

Boy George was unimpressed with the request of cleaning potatoes and claimed the politician was 'kicking off' with the request.

He raged for Mr Hancock to 'f**king clean them' behind his back.

Viewers noticed Boy George's anger and took to Twitter to slam the pop singer for 'trying to cook up drama.'

"Would Boy George rather eat dirty potatoes #ImaCeleb," one user posted while another commented: "Boy George is trying to cook up unnecessary drama."

"Boy George just grasping at straws now. Man just wanted a clean potato #ImACeleb," another pointed out.

One unimpressed fan wrote: "Boy George to be voted out please. I'm no fan of Matt but him asking nicely to clean the potatoes and this grown man is crying over it?? Next."

When Mr Hancock and Charlene were made leader and deputy, the Karma Chameleon singer immediately took issue with it.

Whilst there was a battle for the leadership, George said: "Ultimately, neither of them will have any power over me. If I don't want to do something I won't do it."

David Hodge, a friend of the campmate, recently teased "there will be a lot more to see" from Boy George as the show goes on.

Appearing on GMB, David also spoke of the likely looming "clash" between him and Hancock, claiming Boy George was "warming up".

He said: "There will be friction. There are two things that George doesn't particularly like, and that is bigots and tories."

As he began laughing, host Richard Madeley said: "Well he's in the right place then isn't he," to which David said: "There will be a clash because I know how he feels about those issues."
