I’m A Celebrity 2022: ‘I find him slimy’: Boy George butts heads with Matt Hancock AGAIN after being caught talking behind the MP’s back
He’s been the centre of a plethora of controversy since entering the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! jungle.
And Friday evening’s episode saw Matt Hancock once again butting heads with fellow campmate Boy George, after he walked in on the latter calling him ‘slimy’ during a conversation with Seann Walsh.
Admitting that he has a problem with the former Health Secretary, 44, Boy George, 61, then apologised for talking behind his back – but stuck firm on his opinion.

The camp lost out on the opportunity to win chocolate during the day’s Deals On Wheels challenge – leaving Boy George unhappy as he later revealed he ‘didn’t like the way Matt looked at me’ during the chocolate ordeal.
Later chatting with comedian Seann at the creek, the Culture Club star said: ‘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.” I’ve tried to separate what I feel about him from who he is as a person, but I can’t,’ he continued.
Awkward: Singer George found himself in an awkward situation when politician Matt heard the pop star talking about him behind his back to comedian Seann Walsh
Matt then joined the conversation, with Boy George telling him: ‘I was making a joke about the chocolate. For god’s sake I was like… let’s have a bit of fun. I didn’t like the way you looked at me. I made a joke and you were like…’
Oh no, I wasn’t… that wasn’t my intention,’ replied a taken aback Matt.
Boy George replied: ‘That’s what it felt like,’ before the MP apologised and explained: ‘Ok, I’m really sorry about that. That wasn’t my intention at all.’
Opinionated: Admitting that he had a problem with the former Health Secretary, Boy George apologised for talking behind his back – but stuck firm on his opinion
‘You do it a lot actually,’ said the performer as Matt once again apologised, adding that he didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable.
Boy George told Matt: ‘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. I’ll be honest with you, I think your presence has made everyone very compliant.’
‘Compliant, it’s a funny word,’ said Matt.
Admitting that he was chatting behind his back, Boy George replied: ‘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.’
Admission: George was honest about his feelings to Matt but only when he was overheard by the MP following a conversation with Seann
The pair both claimed that they were both ‘just being me’, before Boy George dubbed Matt ‘very confusing’.
Boy George then told Matt: ‘I’m trying to separate you as a human being and you as a politician and I’m struggling with it. We don’t share the same politics.’
‘I am struggling a little bit with you. That’s not your problem, that’s my problem. I apologise because I was really sl**ging you off a minute ago,’ he continued.
Matt said: ‘I’d far rather you said it. I’ve been saying how much I’ve enjoyed spending time with you.’
Chatting in the Bush Telegraph, Boy George shared: ‘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. It feels like a relief to me. I thought, I don’t want to come out of here and feel like I’ve been dishonest. I had to be truthful..’
Boy George previously revealed his unhappiness at Matt’s entrance into the jungle, explaining that his mother had a difficult battle with Covid-19, during Matt’s run as Health Secretary.
The performer even threatened to leave the jungle due to the MP’s participation, before deciding to stick it out.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! continues on Saturday at 9.10pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
