Richard Madeley has slammed the campmates on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! for not grilling Boy George on his time in prison.

The singer, 61, was sentenced to 15 months for the assault and false imprisonment of Norwegian male sex worker Audun Carlsen during a 'psychotic episode', and ended up serving four months.

The Culture Club star, whose real name is George Alan O'Dowd, has since turned over a new leaf and celebrated a decade of sobriety in 2018.

To which Richard replied: 'Yeah. He says it was a psychotic episode partly fuelled by drugs, that’s his rationale.'

In December 2008, Boy George was convicted for the assault and false imprisonment of Norwegian male sex worker Audun Carlsen during a 'psychotic episode' the previous year. 

He shackled Mr Carlsen to a radiator and whipped him with a chain while screaming abuse when he was in the grips of a £400-a-day heroin habit.
