Boy George went on I’m A Celeb ‘for the money’, says Big Brother star goddaughter

Boy George’s goddaughter, Big Brother’s Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, has said it was “the money that got him” on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

The controversial Culture Club star and convicted abuser is reported to have signed the biggest monetary deal in I’m A Celeb history, with The Sun reporting he’s been paid more than £800,000.

Boy George’s appearance on the ITV reality show came months after he told Ant and Dec he would never enter the jungle, joking: “Unless you do a vegan version and then I’m in.”

But Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace believes the promise of a big pay day convinced him to change his mind.

“Of course it was the money that got him in there,” she told The Sun. 

“He’s an absolute living legend and a diva, he’s not going to take a penny crumb.

“He’s an artist – reality stars are reality stars and that’s fine but people like him are one of a kind.”
