BOY George ruled himself out of taking part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here with a savage dig on Saturday night.
Appearing alongside the show’s hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, the singing sensation took a swipe at the ITV competition.
Boy George, 60, appeared alongside his Culture Club bandmates to perform on the Saturday Night Takeaway stage.
Welcomed by Ant, 46, and Dec, also 46 – the songwriter revealed he would be singing their hit Karma Chameleon for a karaoke session.
It was then that Dec took the opportunity to ask what the song meant, before he was met with the brutal swipe about their other show.
“George obviously we had loads of hits to choose from – but what are you going to be singing for us tonight?” Dec asked.

“It’s a very old song called Karma Chameleon,” the singer replied, as the fans in the studio whooped and cheered from their seats.
“We love it. Karma Chameleon – and I’ve always wanted to know, what does Karma Chameleon mean?” Dec continued.
Boy George then quipped: “It means I’ll never have to say ‘I’m a celebrity get me out of here’, unless you did a vegan version, then I’m in.”
Promising to see what they could do, Ant and Dec looked on as the singer sassily walked away from them to perform his hit.
Boy George wouldn’t be the first vegan celebrity to take part in the show – as soap legend Beverley Callard was previously seen on I’m A Celeb.
In the horrifying Bushtucker Trials, she managed to avoid eating sheep brains and animal parts – but was dished up vomit fruit instead.
Not getting out of the trial easy, Ant and Dec also got the star to chow down on fermented foods including tofu and plums.
It’s the second time Boy George has been seen in public in recent weeks, after he was spotted taking a walk following his recent legal case.
The singer, real name George O’Dowd, is accused of trying to defraud drummer Moss out of £188,000 over a 2018 tour.
Moss is also challenging guitarist Roy Hay and bassist Michael Craig in the High Court.
He claims he was “expelled” by their manager in September 2018 after 37 years of “service”.
Moss says he is owed the “outstanding balance” under a deal from their Life Tour that year.

The members of Culture Club, known for Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, did not appear on video-link in the remote three-hour hearing.
George, 60, and the band dispute the claims.
