'I'm A Celebrity's Boy George fumes after being asked about going to jail for handcuffing and assaulting male sex worker'

Boy George has discussed his 2009 jail term for assaulting and falsely imprisoning a male escort with is I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! campmates. The '80s musical icon - real name George O'Dowd - was sentenced to 15 months behind bars for handcuffing Norwegian model Audun Carlsen to a wall at his London home and beating him with a metal chain.

However, the singer ended up being let out for good behaviour after only four months inside - although he did have to wear an ankle monitor for several months more. And, when questioned about the incident by fellow contestant Scarlette Douglas on tonight's episode of the ITV reality show he certainly had a lot to say.

Talking in camp, Scarlette asked the Culture Club star: "What happened with you and some guy handcuffed to a radiator?" "That’s not true - I think if it was I wouldn't be working now," replied George, who later called Scarlette's quizzing 'inappropriate'.
