I'm A Celeb's Ant and Dec 'expose Boy George's lie' to Sue Cleaver on show

I'm A Celebrity star Sue Cleaver was left feeling bad during Friday's episode, after appearing to wrongly accuse Boy George of stealing her towel.

But hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly were quick to rumble Boy George's "lie", after his claim that he had simply kept the towel safe for his co-star.

Sue was on the warpath when her towel had mysteriously disappeared after she left it to dry overnight.

She immediately accused her campmate of taking it, and moaned to her co-stars about it - ready to confront him.

But when she shouted out to ask him what he had done with it, Boy George told her it was dry so he took it off and folded it up.

Sue was left red-faced as she realised she'd got the situation wrong, and sure enough she found the towel folded up on his bed.

But as hosts Ant and Dec discussed the situation, Ant immediately called out Boy George's explanation and claimed he wasn't telling the truth.

As Dec questioned what really happened, Ant suggested Boy George had actually taken the towel on purpose and maybe even used it.

Dec was in hysterics, as Ant said the singer left it barely folded on the bed, suggesting it had been used - with him covering his tracks when he was found out.

Sue did believe her co-star though, so any camp drama was avoided.

It follows the drama earlier this week surrounding Hancock’s arrival on the ITV show, which led to predictions of a mass walkout by fans.

On Wednesday, Boy George confessed he was considering leaving the jungle, with one campmate doing her best to stop him.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, he became emotional as he said: "I don't really know what to do with my feelings. You know, today was obviously quite emotional for me.

"I don't know what it's going to be like, I actually don't really know if I want to be here."

Sue soon encouraged him to stay, while she too shared her view on the matter - clearly not keen on Hancock.

She said: "Just sleep on it tonight. Look, why he came in and what he's doing here, it's not our responsibility and it's not for us to take on."

Sue later said in the Bush Telegraph: "George was having a bit of a moment. I think if I'm honest that most of us are sort of feeling it's a bit of a very strange situation to be in."

Viewers predicted several cast members could end up leaving the series following ITV signing up the disgraced Tory MP.

Taking to Twitter, they guessed drama and tension was on the cards for sure - but many also wondered if a mass walkout could happen.

One viewer said: "I got a funny feeling [Hancock] is gonna to have walk, before they have a mass walkout."

Another tweeted: "George is going to quit. I’m calling it now!"

A third viewer added: "I think many will walk out," as a fourth wrote: "I reckon Boy George will walk out."

However, others guessed this would not happen as the celebrities would lose out on their pay for the series.

I'm A Celebrity airs every night at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
