I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Boy George opened up about his family's reaction to him being gay.
The Culture Club icon was chatting with Loose Women's Charlene White and was asked whether his sexuality was a 'surprise' to anyone.
He talked about how his dad would tell his mum to let him 'get beat up' when she worried about his outfit choices.
Discussing his sense of style, he said: "My mum would say [to my dad], ‘Look at what’s he’s wearing’ and my dad used to get his paper [and drop it down to look] and go, ‘If he wants to get beat up let him go out’ and that was it you know?”
Charlene asked: “Was it a surprise to anybody when you were dating boys?”
The singer responded: “No. My dad used to do this thing in the car, he’d turn down the music when he was going to make an announcement.
"My brothers were all going to work, he was like radio down, he goes, ‘I need to tell you about your brother’. They said, ‘We know, turn the music up.’”
He also explained where his band Culture Club got its name from.
They initially went for 'Caravan Club' before deciding on 'Can't Wait Club'. Obviously, they settled on Culture Club after a conversation.
"We were called Caravan Club, we were called Can’t Wait Club and then were like, ‘We’re a Culture Club, look at us. You’re Jewish, I’m Irish, you’re Jamaican, Roy’s an Anglosaxon!’" he said.

Speaking of his bandmates, he added: "Karma Chameleon they hated. They hated it. They were like, ‘It’s the final nail in our coffin, it’s rubbish’ and I had to fight to get it onto the record.
"I had to say, ‘If you don’t put it on the record, I’m leaving the band.’ I did that every week though. I was the queen ‘stormer outer’.
"Every time I didn’t get my way I was like, ‘I’m leaving!’"
