According the The Sun, The Culture Club legend has signed up for the next series in what is a pretty big signing.

He quit CBB days before he was meant to enter in 2010 and rejected the show numerous times due to strict clothing and his vegan diet.

Footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa and Hollyoaks Hunk Owen Warner are also names as in talks

    He didnt exactly quit Celebrity Big Brother. Remember he went to prison in 2009 for false imprisonment and he was just released and still on tag. He asked a judge for permission to do it but the judge refused to let him so he didn't quit, he wasn't allowed to bý a judge
    I think he would be brilliant on it although not sure I believe it. He went on Ant and Dec Sàturdày Night Takeaway and Dec asked him what does karma chameleon mean and he said it means I'll never have to scream I'm a celebrity get me out of here. So I took that as a never.. but if hes getting paid a million, then maybe,

    I hope its true. Think he would be amazing

    This is a big signing, but hopefully if it's true, no early exit.

    They are going to go all out for the shows 20th Anniversary year.

    They can't win though, because if they don't then people complain.

    I totally agree with you and have posted this everytime one of these shows has their line up revealed

    What do they do then? Lesser names will be criticised for not being big enough.

    He's no softie push over if you know about his background and growing up. I think he'll surprise a lot of people.

    I have no doubt Boy George would be entertaining. Hoping this is true, would make me very excited about the series.

    George is a very quick witted and funny man and would surely be entertaining but I'll be surprised if its true and he has actually signed up. I'm not a huge fan of I'm a celebrity but if he is indeed doing it then I'll have a look.

    Went to a rough South East London comprehensive. The jungle will be a doddle for him. Hope he's in there and also hoping the Akinfenwa rumour is true.

    I'm wondering if he and Chris Moyles did a pact like "if you do it I'll do it" seeing as they are close friends.

    I've always said in the forums, my choice for who to go in the jungle, would be George aka Boy George. I saw him on the USA Apprentice. He was good TV. Also, my sisters and I went to the same school as him. I love his sharp wit and everything about him.

    It was Eltham Green Comprehensive. Me & my sisters went there too at the same time as George. The school wasn't rough. The teachers could be quite tough especially the super strict headmaster. Eltham was a nice area to grow up in then.
