They may have left the jungle, but I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! campmate Boy George still doesn’t seem to have warmed to Matt Hancock.
After three weeks of putting celebrities through plenty of creepy crawly infested challenges, cooking up all manner of creatures and seeing them making confessions about their lives out in the real world, this season ended on Sunday night.
While many expressed shock that disgraced MP Hancock had made it to the final three, he was eventually voted out in favour of Owen Warner and Jill Scott, who was eventually named Queen of the jungle.
They might have all left camp now, but the celebrities are set to be reunited again for the Coming Out special.
But if the first look photos are anything to go by, Boy George doesn’t have a problem expressing his disdain for Hancock, with him folding his arms and giving the politician a death stare as they stand next to each other.
While it could all be in jest, Boy George made his feelings for Hancock known in the past few weeks.
Although the casting of the former health secretary riled up some of the campmates when he first walked in, Boy George seemed to have a problem with him throughout the experience.
Soon after meeting Hancock, Boy George became quite emotional and said he didn’t know if he still wanted to be there.
‘I feel like, I don’t want to be sitting here like I’m having fun with him,’ he said.
In the days after he later went on to say things like: ‘Can’t stand Matt. I have tried to like him and I’ve failed. I find him slimy, I find him slippery.’
At one point Boy George also appeared to be upset about a ‘look’ Hancock had given him after he made a joke about chocolate.
‘I’ve tried to separate what I feel about him from who he is as a person, but I can’t,’ he added.
Boy George also said directly to Matt that he felt everyone was ‘trying to be too nice’ to him.
‘It’s getting on my t*ts… I’ll be honest with you, I think your presence has made everyone very compliant,’ he said.
‘I’m trying to separate you as a human being and you as a politician and I’m struggling with it.’
However when he was eliminated, Boy George clapped back against criticism that he had ‘bullied’ Hancock.
‘There is zero issue between us. That might disappoint some but I have no regrets about anything. I’m not five years old,’ he posted on Twitter.
I’m A Celebrity’s Coming Out Special airs on Thursday at 9.15pm on ITV.
