Vanessa Feltz has taken aim at I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Boy George in a scathing attack on This Morning.
The journalist was discussing last night’s bumper launch episode with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield when she branded the pop icon “obnoxious” and likened him to Madonna.
She also claimed he “doesn’t give a damn” and wont be helping his fellow campmates while in the Australia jungle.
Chatting about this year’s batch of contestants with Holly and Phil, she predicted that many of the stars will be helping out around the camp in order to “people please”.
But the Culture Club hitmaker won’t be one of them, Vanessa claimed.
She explained: “I've done so much reality TV so I know how it works, you try and get on with everyone.
“You want the people there to like you, the people at home to like you. If you don't do the washing up at home, you try and do it there, you muck in.
“Boy George is not that person. The only other person I've ever worked with who is similar to him in not giving a damn about what anyone thinks about him is Madonna. Who can be equally as obnoxious is Madonna,” she ranted about the singer.
Vanessa finished her scathing attack by adding: “He does not give a beep.”
Ahead of he entry into the jungle, Boy George said he was finally going on the show because he was “tired of being iconic in the corner”.
His diva reputation was fuelled by Ant and Dec who took the opportunity to make a cheeky dig at the star in the first episode.
Opening the show, Dec said: “What a line up what we've got for you this year. There is the legend that is Boy George. And the big news is nowadays he's not a showbiz diva.”
“Did he tell you that?,” questioned Ant, as Dec responded: “No, his personal assistant told me that because I am forbidden from talking to him or looking at him in the eye.”
The singer will be swiftly humbled in the tonight’s episode as he was picked by the public to take part in the first bushtucker trial of the series as it returned Down Under after two years in North Wales.
Boy George and DJ Chris Moyles will be seen squirming as they’re locked in a chamber of ice cold water with some unwelcome guests while Olivia Attwood and Scarlette Douglas race against the clock to release them and win stars.
*I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returned last night. Watch the next live episode tonight at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
