Months before signing up to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Boy George made a light-hearted sassy comment about the show following his performance on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway. The 61-year-old had just finished singing his hit Karma Chameleon with Culture Club when a curious Dec asked him what the song was about.
He sassily replied: “It means I’ll never have to say I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ which caused the pair to laugh.
The comment was seemingly referring to the money he had earned from the hit, released in 1983.
“That’s a real shame for us George,” Ant replied.
Boy George went on to say: “Unless you do a vegan version and then I’m in.”
ITV bosses reportedly forked out £500,000 to secure him on the line-up this year.
The singer arrived at Brisbane airport last week wearing a lion mask.
When asked about his stint on the show, he joked: “I’m here to a version of The Lion queen, I don’t know what you are talking about darling!”
Quizzed on whether or not he will be wearing the mask during his time on the show, he replied: “Let’s hope so.”
The singer went on to say he had asked for “green juices” for his week-long isolation.
He didn’t however elaborate on his veganism and what that might mean when it comes to Bushtucker trials.
According to sources on the show, there will be meat and fish alternatives for camp meals.
It is believed those vegan will also not be forced to eat insects during trials.

In 2016, The Culture Club star revealed he had turned down going on the show several times due to lack of food and strict campmate uniform.
At the time, he reportedly said: “There would be serious clothing restrictions in the jungle.
“I’d have to get certain hats made and I couldn’t get over the food. I would have a problem with that.”
Boy George will share the Australian jungle with fellow celebrities; Charlene White, Mike Tindall, Olivia Attwood, Scarlette Douglas, Babatunde Aleshe, Jill Scott, Owen Warner, Sue Cleaver and Chris Moyles.
All 10 celebrities arrived Down Under a week early to stay in isolation and be tested for Covid-19.
It is reported that Seann Walsh and another celebrity could arrive at a later date.
The series is expected to last three weeks as usual but will begin a week earlier than normal due to the World Cup.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Starts on ITV on November 6.
