I’m a Celeb viewers have accused “childish” Boy George of picking a fight with Matt Hancock.
On Monday night’s (14 November) episode of the hit ITV reality series, the singer was assigned cleaning duties by new camp leader Hancock and his deputy Charlene White.
The former health secretary – whose controversial arrival to the jungle left Boy George in tears – asked the musician whether the side of potatoes could be washed before they were cooked.
George became angry at the request and accused his fellow campmate of “kicking off”. Behind Hancock’s back, he said: “You f***ing clean them.”
Viewers, however, have defended Hancock and suggested that the “Karma Chameleon” singer overreacted and is “looking for a row”.
“Boy George is a joke. The suggestion of washing the potatoes was said perfectly politely and George starts stirring it: “Matt is kickin’ off…’” said one viewer.
Another added: “The drama George is trying to cause is childish!” while a third person wrote: “I’m no fan of Matt but him asking nicely to clean the potatoes and this grown man is crying over it?? Next.”
“Boy George likes twisting things so that he can b****. Matt just said they should wash the potatoes… wasn’t even an incident for Boy George to complain about,” said another.
Boy George is pissing me right off ! Matt said should we wash the potatoes like everyone of us would normally do. But the drama George is trying to cause is childish ! Really just leave George for god sake

Can't believe I'm siding with Matt Hancock but not sure why Boy George had to pull a strop over washing potatoes #ImACeleb

Elsewhere during Monday night’s (14 November) episode of I’m a Celeb, Mike Tindall told a story involving him “s***-dropping” in front of his mother-in-law Princess Anne.
