Singer Boy George has hit out at former I'm a Celebrity campmate and politician Matt Hancock.
Boy has said Hancock "loves the spotlight" and believes the MP for West Suffolk shouldn't be trusted when speaking about his motivations for going onto the reality show. The Karma Chameleon singer clashed with Matt on a number of instances throughout their time in the jungle, writes the Mirror.
Hancock not only took time off of his role as a Member of Parliament to film I'm a Celebrity, he was also paid £45,000 to appear on the Channel 4 series Celeb SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Boy - whose real name is George Alan O'Dowd - told The Sun on Sunday : "He did it because he wants to kick up his heels and have a good time."
The star added: "We all know that politicians are real people. We also know everyone wants to be a rock star, everybody. Especially politicians.
"So it's impossible to believe some people's reasons for doing something."
The singer said anyone who goes onto the show does it for a bigger profile and attention. Which seems to go for Matt as well as his campmates.
Matt and Boy had some tense clashes in the jungle, including one in which the singer told the former Conservative politician that his presence "has made everyone very compliant".
Boy was the fourth to leave the reality show while Matt made it to the final three alongside Owen Warner and eventual winner Jill Scott. Hancock placed third overall, surpassing many viewers' expectations.
He has since said he will not stand as an MP again, instead hoping he will be able to "influence the public debate" from the sidelines.
