I’m A Celebrity fans slammed Boy George for being a ‘bully’ after he butt heads with fellow campmate Matt Hancock on Friday’s show.
The former Health Secretary, 44, walked in on Boy George, 61, calling him ‘slimy’ during a conversation with Seann Walsh.
Admitting that he has a problem with Matt, the pop icon then apologised for talking behind his back – but stuck firm on his opinion.
Not happy: I’m A Celebrity fans slammed Boy George for being a ‘bully’ after he butt heads with fellow campmate Matt Hancock on Friday’s show
Boy George has been brutally honest through out his time in the Australian jungle and says it how it is.
But fans feel his behaviour has turned into bullying, with one writing: ‘Loved the way @MattHancock dealt with @BoyGeorge last night on I’m a celeb. George clearly wanted a hostile response to justify his bully boy behaviour. I’m not a Tory but I take my hat off. George you’re a narcissistic bully plain and simple. The UK has seen it.’
Another penned: ‘Rig that vote and get Boy George out right now. He’s manipulative, a crybaby and a man child. Well done to Matt for dealing with that well. By far one of the worst contestants ever on I’m a Celeb.’
A third said: ‘How does Boy George manage to make Matt Hancock look like a normal guy… George is SO unnecessarily horrible’

However, others praised his honesty with Matt and also his kind acts towards other campmates.
One fan wrote: ‘Seen far too much boy george slander on this site since I’m a celeb started…..that man is the most iconic person in the jungle’
Another said: ‘Those that are calling BG mean, bully etc. They forget to mention the nice things he does like. Choosing a ball for Charlene because she cooks for the camp, or lifting the spirit of Baba when he was beating himself up for dropping the stars etc’

It comes after 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.

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.’
‘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.’

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.’
Admission: George was honest about his feelings to Matt but only when he was overheard by the MP following a conversation with Seann
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.
