I’M A Celeb bosses secretly changed part of the set to make life easier for the stars after Boy George complained.
At 61 the pop icon was this year’s oldest campmate and only signed up for the show after being persuaded by hosts Ant and Dec.
At one point George stormed off, stole an apple and hid behind trees so he could not be filmed after he was refused a buggy ride back to camp after a Bushtucker trial.
But he says he did “have some victories.”
“I got a water filter installed in the camp after a week of drinking this disgusting water that tasted like wood, like fire,” he told HOAR.
“I was saying, ‘I’ve had a week of this, it wasn’t in my contract and it’s like torture’.
“After that they got us electrolytes and put a filter on the pump, so we didn’t have to boil water.”
At one stage the ‘camp diva’ plotted a mutiny and even had the backing of his co-stars – until it was time to take action.
“There was another when we’d lost out on a bit of chocolate in a challenge and I was really hungry that day, so I said to everyone, ‘Let’s have a mutiny.
“Let’s all take our mics off, let’s go in the cabin and say, give us the chocolate or the show is over’.
“Whenever I tried to do that, no one else was with me.
“I was always on my own until ten minutes later, when they’d say, ‘Oh, I was going to join you . . . ’
“Other people in the camp, particularly the younger people, were much more conscious that they were being watched. At a certain point I was like, ‘I don’t care now’.”
He also told HOAR how he threatened to quit four times.
