Boy George has criticised his former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! campmate Matt Hancock, claiming the Conservative MP lied to the British public and his co-stars. In a fresh interview, the Culture Club star claimed the former Health Secretary took part in the ITV reality show for 'forgiveness' over the backlash he received for his behaviour during the pandemic.
Boy George said Hancock was only in it to repair his public image and become a 'rock star' in fans' eyes. The MP came third in the popular reality show, behind actor Owen Warner and Lioness Jill Scott. And The Mirror reports how Hancock plans the release a tell-all book on his life as Health Secretary during the pandemic and the exposure of his affair.
The West Suffolk MP and former health secretary had insisted that his constituents were his "first priority" when entering the jungle, claiming the reality TV show would be an "honest and unfiltered" way to communicate with voters. However Karma Chameleon singer George, who initially clashed with the former health secretary on the show, has now warned: "Don't believe anything he says about why he did it."
