I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! viewers were left less than impressed after Boy George sneakily ate an extra banana as Owen Warner told him off.

During Tuesday’s episode, viewers saw the immediate aftermath of Sue Cleaver’s departure as the campmates said goodbye to the beloved Corrie actress. It was then revealed that Sue had left behind a banana before exiting the jungle, and pop icon George decided to take it for himself to eat in private.

“I had a banana last night and then obviously Sue left this morning and there was an extra one, so I took it and I ate it and I hid the skin in my pocket so I wouldn’t get caught,” the Culture Club singer admitted to camera, before laughing.

Later, Jill Scott and Owen Warner noticed a discrepancy in the banana count and questioned Boy George.

“You had one last night and one this morning?” Scott asked the “Karma Chameleon” star. When he confirmed, Warner added: “Without asking?”

Boy George then laughed and responded: “Says the man who has had more food than anyone in this camp.”

"Could have asked first though," Owen replied, causing George to sing out a song in note of what he'd done, and seeming without a care.

"Last night the bananas we got for dessert we saved for breakfast this morning," Owen later explained of his anger. "There was nine. There’s one short. George confesses, he’s had Sue’s banana. Don’t steal food from me!”

The Hollyoaks actor, who has been vocal about his struggles with hunger while in the jungle, replied by saying that he could have asked first.

Viewers took to Twitter to rant about the tense scenes as they unfolded on screen. One wrote: "boy george laughing about stealing bananas as if he wouldn’t be raging and making a scene if anyone else did #imaceleb "
