Boy George raised gasps in the camp on I'm A Celebrity ...Get Me Out Of Here! when he revealed that he's had a hair transplant. The hat-wearing pop icon amazed his I'm a Celeb campmates when he disclosed that his thick head of blonde wasn't real.
"My hair is a transplant," he told former England footballer Jill Scott and comedian Seann Walsh. "From where?" asked Lioness Jill.
And George laughed: "From the transplant shop." "That is amazing," she told him. And he told her: "I was bald." The Do You Really Want To Hurt Me singer then stunned them again by saying he was inspired to do it by Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney.

"Do you know what made me do it?" he asked. "Wayne Rooney." At that, Seann burst out laughing. "Why do you think that's funny? that's the truth," George told him.
"I saw Wayne Rooney's hair and I thought 'I can actually get my hair long.'" "It's great, like you're rebuilding yourself," said Seann. "I am Darth Vader," joked George.
Back in 2011, Wayne revealed that he'd had a hair transplant at 25. He wrote on Twitter: "Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25 why not. I'm delighted with the result."
He added: "It's still a bit bruised and swollen when it dies down u will be first to see it. Anyone recommend any good hair gel. Haha. I had it done in Harley street hair clinic London. Thanks to all the staff who looked after me."
And his wife Coleen insisted that she had not made him have the transplant. She wrote: "Hiya!! Yes waynes had his hair done! His own decision not me asking him, like alot are saying!! Pleased for him and it will look great x"
When the latest series of I'm a Celebrity launched last week, 61-year-old George captured viewers' attention with his head of hair. @NichollsLiese tweeted: "Biggest shock Boy George has hair! I would have had a tenner on him being bald!! #ImACeleb."
@sunbabe08 commented: "Boy George without a hat!!!!!! He actually has hair!! This is my take away from that first segment #ImACeleb." @AndyGibsonTV posted: "Anyone else floored by the fact Boy George has hair? I honestly thought he was bald. #ImACeleb."
@Typhooncat3 shared; "#ImACeleb seeing boy George’s hair is so wild to me cause I thought he was bald under that hat for the longest time." @Bob_TheBaldie typed: "Nice to see Boy George unmasked with a full head of hair! Can’t say I’ve ever seen him without a hat on #ImACeleb." @KateSmedders added: "I thought Boy George was completely bald. His thick grey hair has blown my mind #ImACeleb."
