Jill Scott may have won I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, and Matt Hancock may have got the headlines, but should Hampstead's Boy George have been victorious?

Real name George Alan O'Dowd, Boy George spent 18 days in the Australian jungle before finding himself in the bottom two with Radio DJ Chris Moyles.

Fourth to be evicted, he was the first man to leave the campsite - beaten by the former health secretary and serving MP whose casting sparked widespread criticism. 

The Do You Really Want To Hurt Me singer was one of those angered by Hancock's appearance foloowing his handling of the Covid pandemic.

"It's difficult for me because, you know, had something happened, if my mum had gone, I would have gone when he walked in," he said.

A big personality on the show, the 61-year-old was reportedly paid £500k to appear, with Hancock not far behind on £400k.

Certainly entertaining, Boy George infuriated campmates by meditating noisily in the night.

He also clashed with Scarlette Douglas who asked him about his highly publicised arrest.

In 2009 Boy George was sentenced to 15 months in jail for the false imprisonment and assault of Norwegian model Audun Carlsen and released after four months.

Referencing the incident, the A Place In The Sun presenter asked him in camp: "What happened with you BG and some guy in handcuffs and a radiator".

Boy George snapped at her telling her "it's not true" then complained in the Bush Telegraph that she had been "inappropriate" talking about the court case.

Meanwhile, he was happy to see Hancock quizzed about his past, which clearly irritated viewers who took to social media to call him a "hypocrite".

The colourful singer was the first celebrity in the show's history to customise his jungle uniform.

He provided some entertaining stories about his life and career, through himself into Bushtucker trials and even led a campfire singalong of his popular chart topper, Karma Chameleon. 

When he does come home he can recuperate in The Logs, his Gothic Italianate mansion on Well Road, which is listed for sale for £17m.

On Sunday, despite the debate about Matt Hancock, it was Lioness Jill Scott was crowned "Queen of the Jungle".

All's well that ends well?
