I'm A Celebrity's Boy George 'stopped in tracks' during eating trial with Matt Hancock

Boy George has been 'stopped in his tracks' as he took on I'm A Celebrity's first eating trial of the new series, alongside Matt Hancock, claiming it tasted like he 'was being poisoned.'

Since he arrived on the ITV show as a late arrival on Wednesday's show, former Health Secretary Hancock has been right in the thick of the trial action, getting his first taste of the Bushtucker challenges alongside fellow newcomer Seann Walsh, before taking on Tentacles of Terror on his own Thursday, winning 11 stars for the camp.

There was to be no reprieve after that full house of stars though as, as soon as I'm A Celebrity hosts Ant and Dec announced the return of the eating trial midway through Thursday's show, viewers at home got their votes in to ensure that Hancock would be subjected to more punishment. The big question was who would join him for the trial and, at the end of the show Ant and Dec revealed it was Culture Club icon George who'd been picked.
