Boy George hints at unaired I'm A Celeb scenes with Matt Hancock as he makes brutal snub

Boy George has hinted I'm A Celebrity fans may not have seen every clash he had with campmate Matt Hancock.

The Culture Club singer became the fourth celebrity to get the boot from the jungle on Tuesday night, after previously telling the sitting MP to his face how he 'couldn't stand' him.

While the singer, 61, is seemingly 'snubbing' post-exit interviews on ITV shows like This Morning and Good Morning Britain, Boy George is chatting with his fans directly about his time on the reality TV show.

Taking to social media earlier this evening, the star revealed the real reason why he hasn't been appearing on ITV daytime TV shows like fellow I'm A Celebrity evictees Charlene White and Scarlette Douglas, and share exactly what he thinks of Mr Hancock.

Boy George, who is reportedly 'desperate' to leave Australia early, didn't hold back on Twitter when the former health secretary was described by one Twitter user as 'one of the favourites' currently in camp.

"I actually couldn’t care less. Very little shocks me but my faith in Scorpions has risen! Lol," the singer replied when asked if learning of Mr Hancock's popularity surprised him.

One of the Mr Hancock's constituents, who is awaiting the absentee MP to return to West Suffolk and resume his political duties, then told Boy George how she had been 'willing' the singer to say more to the disgraced MP.

Replying to the statement, Boy George wrote: "Not everything is broadcast! I said plenty but in the end I did not want to bully Matt. He will not complain about me because I behaved like an adult.

"There is zero issue between us. That might dissapoint [sic] some but I have no regrets about anything. I’m not five years old! :)."

One moment between Mr Hancock and Boy George that did make the final cut was the moment the singer confront the politician to his face regarding his dislike for him.

Last week, Boy George told Seann Walsh : "Can’t stand Matt. I have tried to like him and I’ve failed. I find him slimy, I find him slippery. I find him just… I made a joke about chocolate. He just looked at me like… I wanted to say, ‘What are you looking at? Don’t you look at me like that.'"

He continued to admit: "I’ve tried to separate what I feel about him from who he is as a person, but I can’t."

Mr Hancock then appeared at the creek and joined the conversation, before Boy George pushed the MP to apologise for his reaction to the singer's inoffensive joke.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Boy George went on to say: "He’s probably going to be quite upset and I was kicking off a bit and I just thought, you know what, just tell him to his face what you feel."

The singer later told Mr Hancock: "I just feel everyone’s trying to be too nice. It’s getting on my t*ts. I don’t want arguments… I’m just like come on guys, have a laugh."

He added: "I’ll be honest with you, I think your presence has made everyone very compliant."

"Compliant, it’s a funny word," Mr Hancock replied as his campmate made his true feelings known.

Boy George then admitted: "I have been hating on you, I have to be honest. I sometimes feel like you don’t say what you mean and you’re not particularly direct."

Elsewhere on Twitter this evening, Boy George jokingly revealed why he has been skipping press interviews following his eviction from camp on Tuesday night.

"Why weren’t you on the itv shows today like the rest," one fan asked the singer as he chatted with his fans online.

Boy George simply replied: "I was plucking my eyebrows!"
