Cult singer Boy George moves to the British jungle camp. For this he should get the biggest check of all time.
A world star in the trash TV show “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”: The British version of the RTL jungle camp landed a real coup. In addition to many other celebrities, cult singer Boy George (61) will also move to the Australian bush in the upcoming issue.
As “Daily Mail” further reports, the Briton and frontman of the band Culture Club (since 1981, “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me”, “Karma Chameleon”) pays dearly for his appearance on the TV show. There is even talk of the “biggest contract of all time” in the show’s 20-year history. According to the report, the Londoner is expected to collect £879,000, or just over a million euros, for taking part.
“It’s beyond exciting that we’ve signed Boy George,” a source from the production said. “It’s been a long time since we were able to attract a major world star to the show, and he will undoubtedly attract viewers,” the informant is certain. The singer is a “national treasure” and also very popular in Australia, and with the show leaving Wales and returning to Down Under, he’s the perfect addition.
A vegan version of the jungle camp?
During an appearance on the show “Saturday Night Takeaway” earlier this year, George Alan O’Dowd, Boy George’s native name, told hosts Ant & Dec (b. 1975), who also host the jungle camp, that he was very fond of “I’m A Celebrity” – provided the show would address his dietary habits. With a “vegan version” he is there, so the singer. What happened to this condition remains to be seen…
“I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” (ITV) returns to Australia for the first time in three years after the pandemic, with filming starting in November.
