I'm A Celebrity fans have slammed Boy George claiming he was craving the spotlight for himself as he reacted to the announcement that Jill Scott had been declared Queen of The Jungle.
The singer, 61, joined his fellow former campmates in the studio as they watched hosts Ant and Dec reveal the winner of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2022.
But viewers back home felt the former Culture Club star's reaction to Jill's win — throwing his drink up in the air — was a way to 'make the moment all about him'.
George, sat in the centre of the top row of celebs, donned a bold red hat and he raised his glass as the good news was revealed.
He then appeared to throw the drink up in the air in jubilation for Jill.
One wrote on Twitter : " Boy George throwing his drink over himself cuz the attention is on somebody else."
Another said: ''Boy George wanting the spotlight by chucking his drink.''
Similarly, someone else wrote: ''All the celebs were looking at Jill... apart from Boy George, he was looking for the camera pointing at him. Urgh. Well done Jill."
A further twitter user penned: ''Boy George trying to make it about him by chucking his drink?''
But the move — which may simply have been an innocent in-the-moment burst of euphoria — comes in stark contrast to earlier this week when he became the first celeb to snub the post-exit interviews.
The Karma Chameleon hit-maker did talk to hosts Ant McPartlin, 47, and Declan Donnelly, 46, after he was the fourth celebrity to be axed from the show on Tuesday evening but declined to appear on the daytime TV slots the morning.
Meanwhile fellow camp mates Scarlette Douglas, 35, and Sue Cleaver, 59, both appeared on Good Morning Britain from Australia and Charlene White, 42, spoke to her co-hosts in the Loose Women studio.
George, had earlier tried to exit Oz but was contractually obliged with ITV to stay in the country until the series ended.
Sources close to the singer star told MailOnline: "He wanted to go home immediately, he doesn't want to hang around."
They continued: "If he had his way he would be on a plane already but he wasn't allowed to do that.
"His aim of going into the jungle was for the world to see the stripped back version of him, no hair, makeup, costumes, or hats – he didn't actually care how far he went in the competition."
And although other contestants — including fifth place comedian Seann Walsh — have told how they have made 'friends for life' in the jungle and are already planning dates to meet up, the same insider claims the 80s music icon has no intention to do the same 'on the other side'.
Last night's finale saw Lioness Jill Scott take a well deserved win for her stellar all-round appeal with co-stars and the public.
The sports star, 35, beat politician Matt Hancock, 44, and Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner, 23, in the grand final after surviving 23 days in the Australian camp.
Former Rugby star Mike Tindall was tasked with placing the floral crown on Jill's head as she took centre stage on a wooden throne before she embraced her fiancée Shelly Unitt on the bridge.
