I’m A Celebrity 2022: ‘You’re the first man in 30 years that’s bought me dinner!’ Boy George thanks Jamie Oliver after chef paid for his meal when pop star dined at his eatery

Boy George claims the only man to have bought him dinner in the last 30 years is television chef Jamie Oliver.

The singer, 61, recalled the time he visited one of the restaurateur’s eateries during Monday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

Culture Club star George began by saying he would never make a friend pay for a meal at an pricey restaurant if they were struggling financially.

He explained: ‘I would never take a friend who I know hasn’t got much money to an expensive restaurant and make them pay

‘That would just never happen. I think, actually in 30 years, one person’s bought me dinner. The one person who has bought me dinner is Jamie Oliver.’

Saying that Jamie was there when George visited his restaurant, the pop star said: ‘I had dinner and they said Jamie’s bought your dinner.

‘I said, “You’re the first man in 30 years that’s bought me dinner, thank you so much”.’

The anecdote prompted George’s fellow campmate, comedian Seann Walsh, to insist he would buy him a meal if he had the opportunity.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Seann said: ‘I’d buy George a meal.

‘But he would have to come to Wagamama. I don’t know it… would he be up for that? We’d have to get another seat for his hat.’

It comes after George said he finds being asked when he knew he was gay ‘weird’ as he and Jill Scott discussed coming out earlier in the episode.

The musician told the retired footballer, 35, he knew, ‘this is what’s meant to be’ when talking about his sexuality, insisting he’s simply always been ‘busy being myself’ rather than thinking about who he’s attracted to.

Jill, who is engaged to fiancée Shelly Unitt – the sister of former England player Rachel Unitt – said: ‘In my head it’s just simple, you find someone, you fall in love with them, if it’s a woman, a man, but I don’t think it defines you at all.’

Sitting at the creek with Jill and comedian Seann Walsh, George spoke about being asked when he knew he was gay, saying: ‘I find it’s more other people ask about it, I’m busy being myself.

‘They often ask, “When did you know you were gay?” It was kind of gradual I think. For me it was other kids calling me a girl… “You’re a girl”.’

Love is love: Jill replied: ‘In my head it’s just simple, you find someone, you fall in love with them, if it’s a woman, a man, but I don’t think it defines you at all’

In the Bush Telegraph, George, who recently said he started Culture Club to seek revenge against an ex, said: ‘I have no problem with people asking me when did I know I was gay because I can’t answer it. It’s such a weird question.

‘The difference is that when you’re a gay kid or trans or whatever, no-one really prepares for your arrival.’

He added at the creek: ‘I knew if I announced it I’d be immediately unpopular in the playground, but inside of me, I absolutely thought it was totally normal and this is what’s meant to be.’

Jill added: ‘I think when you get to the point where it’s like not a question… in my head it’s just simple, you find someone, you fall in love with them, if it’s a woman, a man, but I don’t think it defines you at all.’

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! continues on Tuesday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
