I’m A Celebrity’s Boy George SNUBS ITV’s post-exit interviews becoming the first campmate not to do press – after teasing he has ‘lots to say’

Boy George has become the first I’m A Celebrity campmate to snub the show’s post-exit interviews on Wednesday.

The singer, real name George O’Dowd, 61, did talk to Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly after he was the fourth celebrity to be axed from the show on Tuesday evening but did not do the usual daytime TV slots the morning after.

Scarlette Douglas and Sue Cleaver both appeared on Good Morning Britain from Australia and Charlene White spoke to her co-hosts in the Loose Women studio.

Back at the hotel: I’m A Celebrity’s Boy George SNUBBED ITV’s post-exit interviews on Wednesday becoming the first campmate not to do press – after teasing he has ‘lots to say’

Farewell: George, 61, was the fourth campmate to be evicted from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! on Tuesday’s episode

Yet the Karma Chameleon hitmaker was nowhere to be seen on ITV on Wednesday, becoming the first not to fulfil the expected media obligation.

A source told MailOnline: ‘He is probably going to wait until next week to talk to the press. He’s got lots to say so it will be worth the wait.

George appeared in the bottom two along with radio DJ Chris Moyles, 48.

Upon hearing he had to leave, the Culture Club star hugged his campmates and told them: ‘I’ll tell you what it’s like when I’m out.’

In his exit interview, the pop star said: ‘I am sort of ready. I had an amazing time and I’ve done a lot of things I thought I’d never do. I’m excited to see my sister.’

George described his time in the jungle as ‘beautifully challenging’ and ‘somewhat enlightening’, saying it had allowed him to go on an ‘inner journey’.

On how he managed to keep himself sane in the camp, he said: ‘I had to forget who I was the whole time I was in here, I had to let it go. I just had to get over it.

HIs champions: George said he would like to see former rugby player Mike Tindall or ex footballer Jill Scott win the show

‘I just had to say, “I’m in the jungle, I’ve had no control.”‘

He added: ‘Being really honest, I am happy to go today. It’s not something I thought I would ever do but it’s a lot tougher than I thought.

‘I think it really makes you appreciate what you have and the people that you love.’

The musician said he would like to see former rugby player Mike Tindall or ex footballer Jill Scott win.

Of Mike, he said: ‘He’s been the most stoic, he’s done the most. I think he’s much wilder than he lets on,’ before concluding: ‘I think Mike or even Jill.’

End of the road: George looked please to be arriving for his chat with Ant and Dec after he left the jungle
