A former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! camper has accused Boy George of being 'snide' and 'playing games' with his current campmates.

Edwina Currie - who is also an ex Tory MP - has also accused the Culture Club singer of being in denial about his past after he refused to answer questions from other contestants.

Boy George served time in prison following his conviction for false imprisonment back in 2009 during a drug-crazed night.

Boy George is also alleged to have handcuffed his victim and beat him with a metal chain, something that he denies doing.

Speaking on behalf of Slingo, Edwina said: "I’d like to see Boy George gone as he’s proving to be a pain. He’s 61-years-old and a nasty piece of work, who makes a great deal of noise for no purpose.

"He also makes snide remarks and he tries to create little alliances with other individuals, particularly Seann. Seann should tell him to back off and to stop being unpleasant, but Seann is too nice to say that. Seann also knows the price of getting into trouble in a reality TV show.

"I think Boy George thinks he’s playing a game of chess, in which he likes to put other people down. That’s not how the jungle works, I can tell you.

"Every single snide remark is gold as far as the editors are concerned, not to be on George’s side, but to paint him as the rather unpleasant person he is.

"He may have been box office gold 40 years ago, but he’s a real has-been these days. He’s a selfish slob and he’s not great to watch in the pool either."
