The reveal came after a busy episode, in which Charlene pulled out of the challenge, and Boy George finally had it out with Matt Hancock. Speaking to Matt, Boy George said: "I just feel everyone’s trying to be too nice. It’s getting on my [expletive]. I don’t want arguments… I’m just like come on guys, have a laugh.

Matt replied: "Compliant, it’s a funny word," as the singer continued: "I have been hating on you, I have to be honest. I sometimes feel like you don’t say what you mean and you’re not particularly direct." The suspended MP responded: "I’m just being me."
